21st Century Learning

To continue my thoughts on the Premier's Council on the directions Education needs to take.  It is exciting to think about what transformation for 21st Century Education might look like!  Consider what this document suggested:

• From Learning Information to Learning to Learn
• From Data to Discovery
• From One Size Fits All to Tailored Learning
• From Testing to Assess to Assessing to Learn
• From Classroom Learning to Lifelong Learning Transformation

Think about it!  There is no reason to fear Classroom-learning based PLO's, to cling to "One-Size fits all" workbooks, to bore our children with learning meaningless information rather than learning to learn!

Let’s DO this!!  How exciting!! There is NOTHING stopping us from seeking this kind of transformative education.  As you write your weekly update, look for ways to move in this direction.  If you carefully examine your choices for learning activities, you can make intentional decisions to move from Learning Information to Learning to Learn, from Data to Discovery.  We have the best of all environments in home school to Tailor Learning and Assess to Learn what the student needs next.  What better way is there to equip tomorrow’s Disciples than to teach them to be lifelong faith-engaged learners!
