Reinvention: “I too am finding the need to move beyond the “echo chamber” a bit, to keep learning about new things instead of revisiting the common themes. We need to extend this conversation, I think, ’cause I’m just becoming more convinced that schools and education aren’t going to change before society changes.”
Part of what I see is that society is changing, but education doesn’t understand the nature (and depth) of that change). We still think we are dealing with an entity that we can control, box, etc. Education has long been a driver of change in society, but the current lethargy in adjusting to new social and technological environments is disconcerting.
