Cultures explored through India — WA partnerships MT. PLEASANT — During the three decades that Joseph Loftin has been the Head of School, Wasatch Academy (WA) has shared a long and rich history with India. Over the past two years, WA has begun cultivating partnerships with the G.D. Goenka World School (GDGWS) in Delhi and the Kasiga School in Dehradun. The budding partnerships with the GDGWS and Kasiga School are part of a larger initiative that is still in a formative stage, currently called Global Sustainability Education Partnerships. This initiative aims to develop project-based learning opportunities focused on the challenges of sustainability as they appear in different parts of the world (in this case, northern India and the western U.S.). “These real-world challenges serve as both context and content to compel students to explore the commonalities and differences between their cultures and countries and to work together to explore sustainability challenges, generate innovative solutions for a more sustainable future, and gain firsthand insights into
In the spring of 2018, Wasatch Academy students visited and learned from students and teachers from the Kasiga School in Dehradun, India, near the Himalayan foothills.

Sense of place studies, also known as Place-Based Education, is another important theme in these Global Sustainability Education Partnerships. Every sustainability issue (even the ubiquitous challenge of global climate change) has specific, place-based effects that must be understood from multiple perspectives. Ultimately, students who choose to participate in the program develop a deeper sense of place, of both countries, as a fundamental compo-
nent of sustainability education. These two themes are both complementary and transdisciplinary, which means they can be integrated into just about any academic discipline and the full spectrum of student interests and class projects. In February of last year, WA students had an exciting online exchange with GDGWS students; Wasatch students shared what they learned from their Experiential Immersions and the GDGWS students shared their research into urban Please see CULTURES, Page A6
MANTI—Richard Proctor, a constitutional scholar, will speak Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m., at the Eva Beal Auditorium, Manti City Hall, 50 South Main. Admission is free. Proctor will present little known facts about how the Supreme Court and the political parties have systemically subverted the U.S. Constitution and how this information, along with his newest book, “Saving the Constitution” will help individuals better understand what they can do to restore and protect their liberty. He will also entertain questions from the audience. About Proctor Richard Proctor has been actively engaged in economics for nearly 60 years and has a PhD in Political Economics. In the late 1960s and early 70s he observed the creation of the two-tiered international gold standard resulting in the abolishment of the U.S. gold standard in 1971. He then observed the follow-up interest rate and inflation explosion of the 1970s. He can and will, upon request, explain the reasons behind the 70s inflation. Proctor has followed the political shadow government since the 1960s and has studied hundreds of books covering political economics and the effects of this shadow government on citizen’s lives. Some of the books he has studied were written in the 1700-1800s. Proctor began writing in 2005 and produced a weekly Internet political newsletter for six years from
Richard Proctor 2006-2012. He has published 10 books. Proctor’s book, “Saving the Constitution” is one of a kind as it discusses every paragraph in the U.S. Constitution as it was written in 1787, without including any of the Supreme Court decisions nor the invalid amendments. His books may help individuals grasp what is happening in current society. Another book, “Bathroom Economics” is written in an easy to understand style. With it every high school student and adult may finally understand the concepts of economics. Proctor has also formed The Institute of Political Economics to help people gain graduate degrees in practical and political economics at an affordable price. The institute awards degrees up to and including doctorate degrees with low tuition fees. For more information, visit http://provisinstitute.com/.
