education 2020
What is your vision for education in 11 years time? What will be your part to play? Will you be a parent, an ex-pupil or student, a professional, a teacher? No matter what position you or I will be in (I have no idea what I’ll be doing) there are two constants: we will in some way be involved in education, either directly or indirectly.
So what’s the deal? The deal is (and this is the other constant): that everybody has the ability to make a change. One way or the other, it is the power of the masses that can drive forward a change for the better whether it be the little things that happen in the classroom or the big things such as nationwide approaches to assessment.
So, if you haven’t already thought about what you would like to see in the year 2020 when it comes to eduction, (it doesn’t need to be realistic sometimes the most imaginative ideas can be harnessed and pulled back to reality), go over to the education2020 wiki and contribute to one of the discussions there. A fantastic unconference is going to be happening in Islay on the 12th of June, trying to get to the heart of this matter – what is our vision for education2020? A whole host of inspirational educators and forward thinking folk are attending and hoping to have a good old discussion to inspire us forward. But the discussion has already started, head over to the wiki to contribute in any way, it would be great over the next few weeks to really get the conversations joined up.
