Sir Ken Robinson is so amazing! In his talk,
Bring on the Learning Revolution he makes so many great points about education. He talks about doing things we are passionate about and making a revolutionary change in education. One of the points he makes that I like the most is that being a teacher should not be what we do, it should be what we are. A great teacher is a teacher who cannot wait to be back in the classroom. It's not the kind of job you do just for money. Teaching has to be a passion; otherwise, it is not going to be affective.
Another great point Sir Ken Robinson makes is that the change we need to see in the education system needs to be a revolution not an evolution. An evolution would simply be improving something that is broken. We need to completely change the ways that we teach and engage our students. We need to be nurturing their passions and talents as well as giving them knowledge.
Kayla, you are so right in that we shouldn't change students in regards to their talents, we should be encouraging that passion that they may have!
