At TEDxUBC Carla Rieger talks about what it would take to reinvent the education system for more creativity---secondary, post-secondary and organizational learning. Most people don't have the creative mindset to stay relevant in the face of a constantly changing global economy.
Teaching people how to learn, how to create something from nothing, makes more sense than teaching facts that will soon become irrelevant. Having spent years in the arts while also coaching change leaders, Carla couldn't help but notice that leaders with some kind of artistic training could lead change more fluidly than those without. What did they have that others didn't have? The ability to let go of assumptions, thrive in chaos, redesign and reframe ... in other words they could learn on a dime.
The most indispensable people in the world today therefore are those who know how to learn. So is our education system doing enough to prepare students to be indispensible in this way, or is it just preparing them to be good contestants on Jeopardy?
There are thousands of students who would actually contribute greatly to the world, but who can't survive a system that only rewards factual regurgitation. The good news is that the forest floor is alive with new life with alternative forms of education that prepare learners to thrive in our brave new world.
