Thanks so much to Mike Dunn, Julie Cook and Matt Downing from RethinkingEDU for a thought-provoking series on school networks and the future of education. What a great line-up of guests over 22 episodes. I was so excited to be able to learn from them and wrap up the series with you! http://www.rethinkingedu.co/
It has been a whirlwind month! Shout out to Miguel Gonzalez, Great Work Inc. and The Iterative Space, where a small group of educators got to spend an exhilarating 6 weeks learning, iterating and imagining ways to transform education with liberatory design and the needs of communities and young human beings in mind. Here’s a taste of one set of conversations that is leading to exciting work in Denver, TBA. https://boardhawk.org/2020/08/imagining-the-possible-the-genius-power-and-magic-of-boldness/
Why is it that we feel fine about this idea of a “mid-life crisis” where adults wake up to realize that they have spent half their lives doing things that don’t feel meaningful and tied to an authentic sense of self? It’s totally backwards. We need to transform our schools so that they engage students in thinking about and developing a sense of identity and purpose. https://www.the74million.org/article/hansen-transforming-our-schools-so-they-engage-students-and-empower-them-with-a-sense-of-purpose/
