Changing educational paradigms...

Sir Ken Robinson, a well-known speaker on changing the model of education to allow more creative thinking, has a cool video describing the history of the current educational model, and how it has to change.



Sir Robinson also discusses the nastiness of tracking students, limiting their choices, and the prevalence of ADHD diagnoses. I have to do a little more reading to fully understand what Sir Robinson proposes, but it sounds to me like it might be a good model for critical thinking ~ something most traditional education models lack.

More about Sir Robinson here.

Or we can stick to our old ways.
