Make School relevant to Students’ Lives
Students are the power tools of change in education. They are the most ignored and they have the most at stake.
A VUCA (Volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world
We need to learn skills and mindsets on demand and set aside ones that are no longer required.
Education 3.0
Our goal should not be to ensure that young people are simply finishing school but to make certain that every student has built a ‘portfolio’ of skills and capabilities with which to thrive in the new economy.
Learning Transformed
Based on all that is known about how students learn, the predictions for the world they will face after leaving school and the vast disparities of opportunity and privilege that have existed for centuries, continuing to use a traditional, one-size-fits-all approach to teaching and learning amounts to educational malpractice. A good read to re-inforce what we know!
Cannot do it alone.
“He who cannot be a good follower, cannot be a good leader.” (Aristotle). Patrick Lencioni has written in his book, The Ideal Team Player, about three virtues: Hungry, Smart and Humble. Building teams and their qualities, play such an import part in our own leadership journeys. The attached book review highlights this.
