RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms

0
0

Sir Ken Robinson - Changing Paradigms is another great RSA Animate. I have got to find some way to share it with my colleagues (and parents). I found this on a tweet, yet another illustration of how wonderfully Twitter contributes to my professional development. This summarizes a good deal of my understanding of the state of education today and the imperative to reform it as much as we can. I had a brief discussion about ADHD this afternoon before I rushed off to coach my volleyball team. My studio design classroom is not conducive to young people needing reduced or controlled distraction. Collaboration in Room 7 is too noisy and people are in motion frequently. I was feeling a bit guilty about the unsuitability of my room for a number of my learners. Robinson questions the diagnosis of attention deficit in his talk. I'm not sure if his conclusions are accurate, but I like them. I may need to work on the differentiated needs of my students more. Its a struggle meeting everyone's needs in a confined space. Part of that struggle is breaking free of the confines; the lingering influences of the factory model of education.
