IN MEMORIUM
IN MEMORIUM
THIS ENTRY IS A TRIBUTE TO
THE LATE SIR KEN ROBINSON
AUGUST 21st, 2020
He was a renowned education reformer whose 2006 TED talk on
"CREATIVITY IN EDUCATION" remains the most watched
TED talk in history.
Every "New Teacher Candidate" I have taught since 2008 and my last school staff know how much a loved Sir Ken Robinson and his presentation titled: “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”
Many of his articles and videos have been posted below through the years.
His passing was a shock not only to me but to all educators who had met Sir Ken through his 2006 presentation which we all still hold close to our hearts today.
He has made an incredible difference in pointing out how kids are smart and how their program should be differentiated.
He coached students for success through their strengths.
I believe he will go down in history with other influential educators such as John Dewey.
I send condolences to his family and thank them for sharing him with the world of education. I am still in shock to read that he has left us at the age of 70. Gone far to soon.

REIMAGINE LEARNING THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
This is an outstanding presentation with the important following messages.
Studies show, the lack of physical play is resulting in students doing worse in school.
Schools set up a system that celebrates academic marks but academic marks are not the only way to be intelligent. We are developing a narrow concept of what the mind can do.

Some Quotes are included below:
Creativity
"Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status." That's one of the many quotes that Sir Ken Robinson's made in his 2006 lecture on rethinking the nation's schools. That become one of the most popular TED talks — with more than 50 million views.
More to Education Than Test Scores
There's so much pressure put on parents to make them believe that a good school is defined by high test scores and high rates of entrance to college and university, but there's a lot more to education than that. You want to make sure that there is a real balance and dynamism in the school curriculum.
Balance in Curriculum Must Include the Arts
We've seen a reduction in things like arts programs, in recess, in practical vocational programs, because they're not subject to standardized tests. The emphasis on STEM — science technology engineering and math — is important. But the arts, music, drama, the humanities, physical education, are just as important.
Balance in Assessments
Also look at the quality of teaching and assessment strategies.
It's about asking what the assessment's are for.
It should ideally be there to support, encourage and inform children's development and achievement.
Environment and Relationships
Look at what's on the walls. Is there kids' work on the walls? Exhibitions? That also taps into the overall culture — you know, what sort of values a school is promoting and how closely does it work with parents and the broader community.
Check out this article for more ideas to reflect on in your school!
It's outstanding!

CAREERS ARE CHANGING
HOW WE EDUCATE STUDENTS IS CHANGING
Our MINDSET of what we are training students for is undergoing a paradigm shift.
This is not new thinking.
The pandemic in 2020 has changed how we do things and has us reflecting on how we best educate students for the future.
What will the new future look like?
Where are we headed and how?
This article has a great graphic called "The Evolution of the Employee".
It is important we look at this as teachers and educators at all levels of the system.
We must discuss what the graph is teaching us and reflect in how it is impacting our education system.
Plus we need to think about how we personally should change our best practice for the education systems of today and tomorrow.
How is this influencing our career goals?

Schools set up a system that celebrates academic marks but academic marks are not the only way to be intelligent. We are developing a narrow concept of what the mind can do.
We marginalized
shop, family studies, guidance, music …..why???
Not all academic learners have similar aptitudes and strengths.
Students are smart IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
Students are smart IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
All kids are different. They are not standardized widgets ! This is not rocket science
Look at siblings and
how different they are !!!!!
Academic
systems pushing students to accomplish high marks and meeting high
standards have one other unfortunate high statistic. High incidence of
suicide.
We
have different
learning styles and interests. Our natural learning curiosity and
creative intelligence can be ruined by traditional out of date factory
model academic systems.
When we use a
balanced STEAM approach to education, the research shows the students are more engaged. Increased student engagement also evaporates
discipline issue.
"It's not time to fix the old system of education, it is time to change it!"
