Editor's Notes
- What I’m not – some kind of expert on education reform…..all I’m doing is sharing my thoughts based on research I’ve done etc.

- Problem – when we were young it was all quite simple: Do well at school, get qualifications, go to college, get a degree, get a job (and likely stay in that job for your whole life) BUT this (an education and degree) is no longer a guarantee and young people are realizing that…
- Conceived and designed to meet the needs of the Industrial Revolution – late 19th and early 20th Century . Smart and non-smart Add Picture of successful people that didn’t do well in school
- Why is that we think the date of ‘manufacture’ is the best way to educate our young people – how does that really prepare them for the world – lets remember the earlier fact re 4 generations working together If we’re really in an effective model for learning, we mustn’t start from a ‘production line mentality’
- Our children are living in the most intensively stimulating period the world has ever seen. Some scientists believe that the brains of young people are wired completely differently now to the way they were 20 years ago due to the development in modern technology. They’re bombarded with information (mainly digital) from a wide range of sources – 100s of TV channels, computers, video games, mobile phones And then we wonder why they become disinterested with some of the teaching methods/ strategies we provide them with – our teaching / teachers are competing with all the other forms of information sharing methods that exist in todays world
- Our schools need to look beyond the academic and no-academic – lets take one example…(DO ACTIVITY – How many uses for the item on your table) This is DIVERGENT THINKING Study was carried out on 1500 kindergarten aged children where they were asked to complete a ‘divergent thinking’ activity. 98% achieved ‘genius level’. 5 years later (8 – 10) the same children were assessed and only 50% achieved ‘genius level’ and another 5 years later (13 – 15) less than 30% achieved ‘genius level’. What does this how is that we all have the ‘capacity’ to think in this way BUT it also shows that most of us lose it as we go through the education system. What did they al have in common – they’d been ‘educated’! You’d expect it to go the other way wouldn’t you? But for many students they spend 10 years being told that there is one answer!
- We need to make our lessons more interesting and appealing that the other things that stimulate children in todays world – FUN Theory Picture of fish climbing tree Flipped Classroom video Chinese proverb – if I teach someone it’s the best way of learning “If children are genuinely to achieve the goal of being successful learners, responsible citizens and confident individuals they need to encounter inspirational teachers who will have sufficiently high expectations to encourage them to take far greater responsibility for their learning. Schools and teachers need to make learning deep through giving them real issues to explore and not presenting tired topics that have been covered time and time again.”
- Show pictures of offices etc today What technologies will they use? How can we structure our learning environments in such a way that it meets the learning needs of our students? 10 minute to design a classroom.
- I will not let exam results decide my fate video Self-assessment / peer assessment – skills for life (learn a skill, unlearn and re-learn very quickly – our students will have up to 10 different jobs in their lifetime – no longer job for life) With the range of abilities widening, students cant rely on one adult (teacher) to be the sole person responsible for their development – they need to more ownership
- Its amazing what young people can achieve when they start to think outside of the box. Look at the Bloggers What about this guy – look at where he came from to what he achieved just from his mates posting a video on YouTube after a ‘lads holiday’
