Surprises in Houston | 2¢ Worth

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:06:04 -0000

Summary/Highlights that David Warlick noted during his day at the Convocation 2008 in Houston on March 28th, 2008.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

very unconference.

However, the one main surprise that lots of people expressed was how much the entire group, regardless of their position among education stakeholders, agreed that old school does not server today’s children.

A conclusion drawn by one group was that if we are to teach lifelong learning skills, then teachers and leaders should be willing to model these skills, to present themselves as master learners.

We can’t drag this out. Stop demanding pilot projects and overhaul the system.
(Classrooms) need to get updated.
Technology is not the answer.
If I (forty-something) am able help my children with Their homework, then there may be something wrong.
Today I don’t need to know everything I just need to know how to find what I need to know.
There is a disconnect between what we’re doing in school and what we need for life.
Change is going to happen. Are we going to anticipate the change and facilitate it, or are we going to wait and try to rebuild in the chaos that ensues.
Drop the text books and give (them) laptops. Textbooks are lousy.
Give a sabatical to all teachers to make themselves an expert in some area that could be used by the school (leaning theory, etc.)
Teachers talk about lifelong learning, but they are not willing to practice it (lots of paraphrasing)
