Two views - debate
John Hattie
power of interpretation
assume we have common perceptions
ask the hard questions and answer them
do the task and do it well, and be seen to do it well
- schools have to invent their own solution to create connectivity
- tomorrows schools is yesterday's solutions
Coming out of the shadows and support unsuccessful students.
- GAP between where they should be and where they are
- what we mean by curriculum in technology - 21st century skills
- qualities of school leavers - evaluation skills - evaluate the many competing plains that are in front of them.
- if they are not challenged they are bored - school is not relevant
Providing a challenge
- put students at centre
- students want more than ncea - they don't see it as something they want to do
Karen Sewell -sec for ed
walls not there for many young students
knowledge society
children's lives will be profoundly different
stand up for what is good and recognise and change what is wrong
timetable is a handicap and an excuse
Rod Oram
- poised on the edge of astonishing change - tech, economics, values, system - change more radical than ever before - how we reuse resources.
- sense of community - concept of community changing very rapidly - now about remote intimacy
- worried by the tail - thin resources - sense of disconnect
- in the virtual world there are people who are interested in them -
- future problem solving - think differently - our school leavers need to leave with that sort of confidence
Providing a challenge
- emotional intelligence
- joy of physicality of life
