Adventures in Learning

A blog about Learning, about Education, about reform, about change, about what it means to teach. I am trying to ask the question "Why we educate" and what my answer means to me as a teacher and how my role shapes society and the whole.
One of the big problems in education reform is idol worship, be it for people like Rhee, Gates or Khan, or schools like Kipp, and HCZ or programs like TFA, or RTTT. There is not a superman and education revolution will not come from making traditional transmission/banking model more efficient or flashy, it will come when we make education about meaningful, engaging learning that is connect to the life of the children and the community, not test scores or outcomes geared to keep the Corporations and rich in power!
My comment on Khan Academy does not constitute an education revolution, but I’ll tell you what does « Cooperative Catalyst
