Changing Education Paradigms

“Every Country on Earth, at the moment is reforming public education”

Recently Fellow Board Member Pat Deutschman forwarded me a video to watch from Sir Ken Robinson.  I had seen this video before and I so much appreciated Ms. Deutschman reminding me of it.  It is critical for all of us as parents, educators and community members to understand and be mindful of its message.  The video does an excellent, entertaining and clear  job explaining about education its past and current design and what we need to be cognizant of in developing education for the future.   Please take a few minutes and watch the video below.

Sir Ken Robinson is an author, speaker, and international advisor on education in the arts to governments, non-profits, education, and arts bodies. He was Director of The Arts in Schools Project, Professor of Arts Education at the University of Warwick, and was knighted in 2003 for services to education. Originally from a working-class Liverpool family, Robinson now lives in Los Angeles with his wife Marie-Therese and their two children.
