One week goes by

Well, where has a week gone. The feedback from Mark's presentation has been really positive. Most people who attended received clear messages about the future of education and where we need to be working towards. Of course, the problem as always is the how. Especially when it's a struggle for schools to build infrastructure that will meet their needs for the future. Mark's insights into the needs of our learners were thought provoking and challenging. So how do we turn around our thinking from
What are we teaching? How will I teach it? Why am I teaching it? and Who am I teaching? To focusing on the WHO first then WHY, How and what?

The needs of our learners are changing and our teaching practice needs to change to best meet their needs for their future.

One teacher's voice after the presentation
"that speaker yesterday was the bomb! I couldn't stop talking about it when I got home. There was something relevant for all of us - my poor hubby, teenage daughter and 8 year old son all received "nuggets of wisdom" from his presentation. Loved it. Quite inspirational actually. Fantastic, practical ideas and ideologies that can readily be applied to the class room situation (rather than being compartmentalised.)"
