11/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Pursuing a culture of inspired learning rather than a culture of teaching requires taking a clear-eyed look at past practices. More and more, educators are responding to the call to action to rethink past practice and reimagine our schools. In this week's resource post, we're sharing an article and a TED Talk that challenge educators to evolve their professional work to meet the needs of students. Both pieces highlight the aspirational parts of being educator and the great potential of modern learning. Check out the article and the video and feel free to add your comments below. ​
