My mind is on fire!
After reading the first batch of articles and viewing the map-wow that is a lot of information to take in. Upon viewing the map I thought of a great brain-storming activity- to blog/discuss depending on the environment on each trend/issue because each is worthy of a discussion that may provide insights from each person and if you could vary the stakeholders, business community, parents, students, administrators, etc what an event that would be! However the reality is that the various stakeholders do not interact in enough meaningful discussions to impact positive change. That is my current opinion. We'll see what the future holds. . .

Sounds like a great idea to me. There do need to be more community conversations about the future of education, and what is going on right know. My only caution is that teachers need to be considered experts as well--not the audience!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments-it reminds me of a saying a colleague tells his students everyone has gone to school and figures they know what is best;however, everyone uses a toilet but not everyone considers themself a plumber-I am paraphrasing a little bit. It is amazing when you read blogs in response to news articles regarding teacher pay etc. and the negative comments people post regarding teachers, teacher pay,etc.
