On the story of success… In writing about the story of success of the most wealthiest, Gladwell explains, “If you were born in the late 1840’s you missed it. You were too young to take advantage of that moment. If you were born in the 1820’s you were too old: your mind-set was shaped by the pre-Civil War paradigm. But there was a particular, narrow nine-year period window that was just perfect for seeing the potential that the future held.” (p. 62)
Similar to the industrial revolution, from the years 2000-2010, the world went through another revolution – The Information Revolution - where advancements in technology have fundamentally changed they way people live, work, and learn. If you were born in the 1990’s you really had the potential for great opportunities in public education, but sadly the mind-set of your teachers and school leaders was shaped by a different time period, therefore you pretty much missed that wave. 2.0
OUR INFORMATION LANDSCAPE HAS DRASTICALLY CHANGED
I don’t even know, what I don’t know! How can I increase my rate of discovery? How do school become innovation engines?
The Adult Problems: The future of teaching Teaching Timeline
Teaching in the Future “The negative effects of an ineffective teacher persist into future years.” (Linda Darling-Hammond, 2010)
The Teacher of the Future will have to employ: • Collaborative approach • Tech-Powered pedagogy • Blended learning
Teachers must accept: • Teacher-student relationships will change • Teachers will shift away from the “owners” of information to facilitators and guides to learning • They must find different ways to use class time • Inviting introverted students to participate via online • Global perspectives for students • Different approaches to teaching being used in the same classroom
The Teaching Profession must change: • Changes to Collective Bargaining Agreements (Edupreneurs) • Changes to Teacher Preparation Programs (starting now)
Past vs. Future Traditional Differentiated
Future? Maybe Possibly
Future? Virtual? Internet?
Future? Hands On Interactive
What does the future of education look like for students? Each community based school will need to address the future of education in their individual ways. Government should only provide guidelines through Common Core; however, each community should address how to get to the finish line.
