As I reflect on the future of education at my own school, I have been searching for resources that align with the thinking that education as we know it will not continue to be. I spoke to a colleague the other day, and, excluding technology integration, we are teaching the same way we were taught. Things may be digital, work products may be digital, and the resources are more vast, but we are still asking students to sit at a desk, read text, answer questions, and complete assessments.
Why is this still true for the majority of US schools? (No stats, just opinion.)
We have so many opportunities to individualize learning.
My school is moving forward and trying to make changes to our high school. As I see it, in 5 years, things are expected to look very different. Students could already find answers online before ChatGPT just handed them to them. Rote homework has no place in classrooms today. The ones who know it may do it. The ones that don't won't do it or will cheat. What is the purpose?
So let's change it up!
