The 21st Century Needs Us.
Accountability
To whom do we answer in our education?
What is the definition of success?
The Sun Always Rises
Focus
No distractions for pointless things
Testing
Taking the time required
When do we know we know?
Breadth
Curriculum attempts to tell us what we should know.
Knowledge is acquired at need, and follows
no prescribed path.
Conversational, not checklisted.
Depth
You really know things.
Most educated people find something they
love, and become annoyingly expert in it.
Depth of understanding allows a different
perspective on a subject.
Joy
Education isn't what you learn.
It's who you become.
Web of Knowledge
How we know things, and why they matter
Detection of falsehood
Creative thinking about solutions
Well-defined problems vs.
Ill-defined problems
