This video reminds me of the book, Why School? by Will Richardson. It begins with how our students were taught to how they should be teach in the 21st Century. So, they can fulfill the requirements and obtain skills required for 21st Century jobs. Education has always changed, before students read a textbook, answered the questions found at the end of a story/topic. I recalled doing that in high school. Now, we have Common Core or I look at it as the new bible of education that caused California’s drought.
The curriculum has changed and continues to do. The video emphasizes on the need that all students are capable of learning, becoming leaders. Which they are, but when a student has a background of or is experiencing socioeconomic, addictions, or behavior problems is hard to transition such students from what he/she is going through to focusing in class. All of my students receive free or reduced lunch. Some are homeless, some are refugees, and others are or have been in foster care. All of this factors can affect a student’s education. Therefore, it is not as easy to educate every student to be ready for the 21st Century job Industry as this video emphasizes.
In a perfect world, every student could become an innovator, a leader, or a genius, but there needs to be support from everyone to make sure that it happens. Not all students come from the same background. Those who are fortunate have parents who provide them with their needs whereas others have to work to provide for their families.
The video stresses the importance of educating our students for the new job industry. The curriculum changed to better prepare our students. The way we teach has changed as well, but it is up to the student if he/she wants to attend school. A lesson begins when the student is present. It is not a lesson without the student.
