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.

“Is it possible that art is the answer?”

“A student from a few years ago created this video. I felt affirmed that we were doing something right in social studies by including the arts:”

(via John Spencer’s post The Real Reason for the Arts « Cooperative Catalyst)

I’m tired of trying to defend the arts and humanities with words like New Economy and Creative Class and innovation. I have never sketched a picture of crafted a poem or conjured up a fantastical, fictional world because I thought it would be a great job skill.

When I first began my grad program, I had to watch this video in order to complete an assignment for my Arts and Education course.

It’s been on my mind recently and with all my new education friends on here, I had to share.

:)

Watch this short but powerful video! I been thinking a lot about how adults’ fears impact our education system and how we interact with children… this video highlights it perfectly!
