Nine Minutes Making Me Want a Different Teaching Future

Saturday, 27 January 2007 Clay Burell Print This Post

Thanks to Doug Belshaw’s blog for turning me on to this. My hunger for finding a school with the courage to throw out the clock-and-bell, Industrial Age educational model for true 21st Century constructivism is growing by the day. What other schools besides the New American Schoolhouse and Science Leadership Academy are doing education as real as this? Life’s too short not to find and–by hook, crook, or dogged persistence–join them.

Glad you found my blog useful!

Interesting that you teach in Asia – I read an interesting book recently for my Ed.D. thesis research called Towards a knowledge-creating school : a research project on paradigm shift of teaching and learning in IT education that was about a school in Hong Kong, I think.

Might be worth a read…

Thanks Doug (and yes, I just skimmed your last 200 posts in Bloglines and find your blog VERY useful!).

I’ve clicked your link and will see if it discusses the school I predict it will discuss.

Keep on sharing~
