Karen Cator: An Evening to Re-imagine Learning in the 21st Century

[LT1VegaGT]

The ideas presented in this lecture are great but the federal government has failed to provide any clear guidance that demonstrates they have the ability to fund these ideas. Instead, they are continuing the legacy of NCLB and handcuff districts' abilities to create authentic learning environments for their kids, under the auspices of "metric evaluation."

I am growing tired of the double talk in education. The feds want success but are restricting the ability to be successful.

How can teachers remain "connected" if the learning is personalized along the long tail? This assumes that the "personalization" is not contextualized in deep learning. In other words, it's not just Johnny on page 34 of the text book and Chantelle on page 199.

It's Johnny engaged within a mystery about the London Fog while Chantelle is enthralled by deep ocean currents and the effects of lava exposure on nitrogen based life forms (context for the math).

How will teachers be experts in all?
