Tackling the Challenge to Change Canadian Education | Canadian Education Association (CEA) - 0 views

      kind of sad and scary that innovation gets challenged once it hits the radar and causes disruption.
  • Our research, Teaching the Way You Aspire to Teach, clearly demonstrated that innovative teaching was happening in our classrooms, but that the “system” simply tolerated it until it created waves of disruption
  • We know, first hand, that our school districts are filled with brilliant people working within a fundamentally “not smart” system. How can we emancipate these individuals to be permitted to Teach to the way they aspire and Lead to the way they aspire? Start with trust! Less regulation and more trust!!

      Interesting point and yet releasing the brilliant people is not enough to infect the not so brilliant... and who gets to define what is brilliant, anyway.
  • increasing market-driven strategies that squeeze out any attempts at new learning and pedagogical strategies by teachers, new assessment rubrics that go beyond measuring 19th century skills and new school and classroom designs that we now know create better environments that are conducive to effective learning
