5. •We teach students in factory rooms…
•We teach students separated by age…
•We teach students with 19th Century
tools…
•We “evaluate” (test) students by forcing
them to use 19th Century tools…
•We teach students with a 19th Century
schedule and calendar…
…the problem…
6. •We focus on 19th Century communication
skills and strategies…
•We rarely focus on collaboration in our
teaching…
•We teach plagiarism by constantly asking
already answered questions…
•We crush creativity by teaching to
exams and pre-cooked curricula…
…the problem…
7. •We separate content into stovepipes
rather than integrating it…
•We spend much time memorizing the
“Googlable”…
•We teach as if all of our students
grew and progressed at the same rate…
•We pretend that “difficult” is valuable
and that “failure” is bad…
…the problem…
