Beyond School

More education. Less schooliness.

Fearless Courage: Admitting Our Past is not Their Future

without commentsPrint This Post Print This Post

From The Fischbowl’s NECC: Fearless Courage: Technology and High School Transformation (eMINTS),

Twenty-first century career expectations cannot be met with 20th century instructional methods.

–this remark from the eMINTS (enhancing Missouri’s Instructional Networked Teaching Stratagies) staff development program’s Powerpoint jumped out at me. So did this:

Fearless courage is more than visionary. Many have the ability to look at events and trends and describe the future state. However, few are willing to take the risk of acting on that vision unless the current state is bad. To reform or change tactics when things are working, based on your vision of the future, requires courage.

The Fischbowl’s article about eMINTS is vital reading (like most of Karl Fisch’s posts). The full Powerpoint from eMINTS is available for download there too.
