The following are my jottings from viewing Grant Lichtman's Ted Talk: "What 60 Schools Can Tell Us About Teaching 21st Century Skill" - things that stuck with me.
Critical thinking / problem solving
Asking questions more than giving answers
Systems rather than compartmentalising into subject silos
Finding problems rather than solving problems
Change in education is complicated, messy but is it hard?
Schools are permeable - off campus / online
No switching between brains - maths / science - crossing barriers of subjects
Self-correcting
Authentic reflection - thinking about what we are doing, empathy
Creative spaces
Thinking, designing building
We are a knowledge based industry
Who controls education? The adults or the learners?
Content rather than context - how can we flip that around?
Teach into the unknown - we don't know what the future is, we don't know what the skills are - need to teach our students to be self-evolving learners which means our schools need to become self-evolving instituatuions
Prepare students for their future not their own past
“Our job as teachers and parents is not to prepare students for something; our job is to help students prepare themselves for anything.” AJ Juliani
