What would it take to transform today's education environment into a state of the art system based upon the latest technology, up to date curriculum theory and practice and uncompromising dedication to education that works for all?
Consider the following thoughts before answering the introductory question.
Teachers, administrators, parents and students must accept the proposition that learning is not a choice but simple is always present and functioning, and cannot be turned on or off.
To be educated minimally means that a person has knowledge and can use it for a variety of ends sometimes promoting good and bad deeds alike.
Effort, glee and consternation in the pursuit of education are firmly anchored within the individual person and never fully appreciated or understood by others.
Day to day education looks nothing like it's end of year outcome and the two must be thoughtfully connected a step at a time.
If teaching intends to convey information to a person, then, how that person thinks about information is most vital for a successful and meaningful outcome.
Education goes on inevitably and knows no end: The role of teachers, administrators and parents is facilitative, and should not hurry or restrain student learning.
If learning is contineous and highly personal, how do facilitators link with learners? Hint, ask the learner for directions.
Although pieces of the learning pie are everywhere, the assembly of those pieces into meaningful, sustained thoughts and actions resides within and through deliberative actions of the individual learner.
What do you think so far...?
