Toward a "Modern Learning Alliance"

1/26/2014

 
Presenter:  Will Richardson

Ambling in late, I caught the end of Will's discussion with the group.  The final question he posed, and I'm likely to clearly state this, was, "What does the next iteration of school look like?"

Being a wide open question, leaving no ground rules for discussion, and just the education narratives we have now, answers came, each of the different.  I listened.  Drumming in my head was the notion that there is not one next iteration of education.  There are thousands, perhaps millions of iterations.  My thought is there are a few global tenants we may agree upon.  

The tenants I have proposed are these:
  1. Education focuses on solving problems.
  2. Build a deep capacity to learn.
  3. Iterate your own learning and remix others.
  4. Educators are coaches and guides.
  5. Individual classes meld into a continuous learning experience.
  6. Students drive their learning via their passion.

There was not a definitive answer to Will's question, and I don't there will be.  Perhaps agreeing basic educational precepts is the best we'll get.
