2011 English Holiday Program

 

 

 

Hi guys,

Just thought I’d share with you what we’ve got planned for this coming holidays. Every year we
do something different and this year it’s going to be a focus on learning life lessons through
introspection gleaned from literature. This was in a way inspired by the trajectory I’ve been
on with regards to my views on what kids today need out of an education and that premise
can be glimpsed in this article I wrote a few months ago.

 

Anyway, read the rest of the description for this program here :  Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge. 
If you're interested to join, here's the sign-up form as well as more information on how to contact us :

21st Century Learning Outcomes

( 0 Votes )

You need to have some champions, you need to have some people who are Believers

and the opportunity to teach differently.

                                                                               ~  Dean, the University of Arizona.

 

This shift will be regarded as threatening by some, viewed as a hostile act by some


but it will be an absolutely necessary thing to do in order to make schools of education relevant to the future.


~ Dr.Sharon P. Robinson, President and CEO, Association of Colleges of Teacher Education


  • We need 2 types of skills : Non-routine thinking and complex communications.
  • Schools need to equip students with a set of skills and capabilities for them to figure things out on their own. 
  • We have to help people understand how to use their talents, their knowledge their abilities to better themselves and their society.
  • We need to instill the capacity for students to have  passion for asking questions. 
  • The focus should shift from one of teaching to one of learning. 
  • Every student of the 21st Century need to be able to critically think, problem solve, innovate, collaborate, communicate, be globally aware, be self-directed and be technologically literate - these are the new outcomes of the 21st Century. 
  • It's about evaluating content and critically examining it rather than rote-memorization.
  • Teachers have to have, first and foremost, these 21st Century Skills in order for students to model after them.
