Educational Framework
An Educational Framework is a structured system of theory, pedagogy, and practice designed to guide the process of education. Educational Frameworks specify the goals, content, delivery methods, and organizational structures of learning environments. They provide coherent guidance for developing human potential, transmitting knowledge, and supporting individual and collective growth across cultural, social, and historical contexts.

Notes
An effective Educational Framework is not value-neutral. Frameworks always reflect underlying assumptions about human nature, society, and the goals of education.
Frameworks rooted in elite or capitalist ideologies typically emphasize obedience, competition, and economic productivity.
Frameworks rooted in authentic human development emphasize healing, empowerment, critical consciousness, Connection, and planetary stewardship.
The Pathfinder Educational Framework is the Lightning Path’s comprehensive, scalable, and decolonized Educational Framework designed to replace traditional models.
