- The rate of change in the world demands that we re-imagine and restructure the foundational learning relationship among students, teachers, and knowledge. In September 2012, pursuing a decades-long passion for transformational education, Grant packed up his Prius and set off on a solo, nationwide research tour to discover what schools are doing to prepare students for an evolving future. Find out what he learned from three months on the road visiting 21 states, 64 schools, and the great ideas of 500 educators. Presented by Grant Lichtman, Author and Educational Consultant.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
I'm struck by the insightful wisdom of this piece. A book with similar subjects opened new paths for exploration. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
A very big CONGRATULATIONS on a stunning TEDx Talk!!!! Honestly, the most brilliantly distilled understanding of the state of education, it's history, and the future. Genius!
It is an honor to know you.
TEDx has shaped me tremendously
1. School are not good at innovation coz school are birocratic, not formed by educational ideologies
2. But some school have this solve problem, some have not..
3. Institutional change is hard, uncomfortable.
4. Student and teacher is taking time to do more reflection, teaching empathy
5. Cognitosphere-neuronetwork and knowledge based industry
6. Educator and great learning are Anchor, Dams, Silos, ---> Teach into the unknown, Teach student to be self-Evolving learners
7. Education Innovation is teaching student for their future and not for our past.
Well done, Grant! I will be passing this on to all of my educator friends here in Hawaii. Thanks for taking on such an immense task for such an extended period of time. Uncomfortable and inconvenient and well worth the time, to be sure. I wish you well in your quest to get everyone who can effect change to "get on board"! All the best, Chris
Great presentation.
We teachers have become clerks...immersed in paperwork rather than shaping young minds to take on life's challenges.
The result: unhappy, uneducated, unemployed youth. That's more dangerous than atomic bomb!!!!
The solution:Free teachers from bureaucratic burdens, involve students, parents, community and organizations in school management.
WE MIGHT HAVE TO CLOSE ALL THE PRISONS OF THE WORLD.
Its not impossible. We teachers are confident... ARE YOU, the so-called system????
Yes! By God, Yes!
Everything you say here is the truth.
As a teacher, this is what I consciously try to work against every day; to ensure I don't end up becoming a "clerk" emerged in paper work, and not really contributing anything substantial.
It is difficult, as change is bound to be.
But it is so worthwhile in the end.
I'm curious how Mr. Grant would feel about many schools which are in low-income areas where students make it no secret that they have priorities other than learning.
Never tire of learning.
True! It would be great if you could share with us some of the actions the successful schools are taking. Im not a school teacher, but i can imagine they might be more persuaded to change if they felt safe. For example, i loved the idea you reported of teaching several different subjects at the same time. Then I imagined some teachers might ask a practical question; how might that work in terms of assessments and writing curricula? Would you refer back to an institution, say, for guidance. If you were headteacher who prided themselves with respecting best practices and had awareness that not all innovation turns out to be a success. That seems to be a possible roadblock. In an effort to allow for freer thinking the language of supervisory organisations has become so abstract that its hard to interpret, let alone implement. Thats not meant as a criticism. Rather an observation applicable to most walks of modern life, not just education. So my final question would be, what are the top three simplest yet effective changes for the better you observed on your travels? I realise you only had 20 minutes to get your message across, but I'm truly interested in your reply as i agreed with so much of what you said. Thanks!
Awesome! So real and true. Thank you....
This content is a milestone. I read a book with kindred subjects that marked a significant change in my life. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
This was a really great insight into what is happening around the nation right now. wow. Thank you so much.
Very, very nice, Grant. I'm jealous of your road trip! I'll be sharing this on my blog!
Words of wisdom, expressed through experience.
And I am glad you are doing this educational program and others we need peoples like yall"s , and I can a agree what you do
Motivating!
great initiative, thanks for sharing.
Great synopsis of your journey. We are looking forward to hosting you in the Pacific Northwest and having you guide our thinking and collaboration around harnessing the innovation in our schools.
What if the solutions are incompatible? What if problems of one sort or another are inevitable?
What if educational philosophies are just another problem?
I agree with Sid’s first theme: bureaucracy is an impediment.
Great talk!
I am there's for life as well
Enjoyed this Grant, although the visual leaves me trying to recall where on that red line of your journey you were when we chatted on the phone.
What is the modren approaches in secondry school class room used
All true. I do wish I'd hear a little more reading and writing skills.
It's awesome
Evidence free educational reform. Another talk which promotes an edu-topia without acknowledging or understanding how people learn.
I would take kids away from school and just move them to Cognitosphere wherever possible. Let them explore! That would be messy and complicated, but that's not really hard :) ... If we can get a man to the moon or do a Berlin Lift, we can free kids from school!
How are students to gain the criticl thinking skills necessary to navigate the cognitosphere and the resources that the will come across. From a neurological standpoint, students would be incredibly susceptible to false information and radicalization if left to this cognetosphere without schooling to go along with it.
If this guy was a teacher, he'd put everyone to sleep in about a minute.
not everyone. ~ we are the dreamers of dreams
Good point. Plus he talked a lot about how we're not teaching right. How about.... real examples of how to teach right
what a bs artist. he should have saved his gas money.
