What's the future of education?
This is the first step of a journey – the journey of one pre-service teacher to “break the mold” by searching for unconventional ideas and innovations in education. This blog is a means of connecting with anyone who shares this goal, who is doing fresh and exciting things in the classroom, who is interested in education, who believes that we need new strategies for a new generation of learners. Education shapes the future; why educate based on past paradigms?
I’d love to hear your thoughts – what changes have you seen (or would like to see) in education?
Coming Attractions:
Sound Off Series – This series will spur discussions based on educational videos and talks. We’ll start with The Cartel, a controversial doc on failing public schools, and then move on to one of Sir Ken Robinson’s jaw-dropping TED talks
Word of Mouth Series – This is my ambitious project to interview “movers and shakers” in education. I’m especially interested in individuals who have founded or have worked in charter schools in the Pittsburgh area. (If anyone has connections and would like to set me up with such a perosn, that’d be awesome 🙂 )
Best,
Mares
