Very interesting article about the overwhelming body of research showing greater efficacy of enquiry based learning over DI in different subjects, at all ages and across cultures. (Also points out the issues with Cognitive Load Theory.) alfiekohn.org/blogs/clt/

Have a look at the @MmeMoe software. It provides teachers with functionality that builds the habits of highly effective people, including reflection, self-assessment on demand learning opportunities. It can be used to help all teachers improve. mme-moe.com

Is there a way to delete multiple users to suit the new user requirements? @trello used to be great software for collaboration in education spaces but the current owners are not continuing that tradition. I used to recommend it to everyone! Now to no-one!

The conventional education system is working exactly as intended: to foster obedience, compliance & conformity. Look to the entrepreneurial parents and teachers who are saying enough is enough and are building new models. I’m excited to talk more about this next week @SXSWEDU!

“Schools need just one target: make children happier and education a pleasure….. Too much education is designed to weed students out, not to find out their skills and encourage them in what they can do. Too many become alienated from learning altogether. Start with the idea that…

@norchcity @naomicfisher I'm not sure where you get the idea that students want to comply? What they want is to play, to be free, to have autonomy, to follow their own hearts, not to do what authority figures tell them.

To all those arguing that micro-control at school prepares teenagers ‘for the real world’ - you’re wrong. In the real world people have to make decisions for themselves. Micro-controlling teenagers denies them the opportunity to learn self-control. Submitting to being controlled…

Changing the curriculum of school to make it more relevant is a giant excercize in missing the point. We don’t need kids in that system to be told to “find their passion” or to learn personal finance. We need to get rid of compulsion and coercion, and allow for self-direction.

Awesome message! As schools create goals for next year-give pause to overly scripted programs or a belief that everyone should be on the same page each day. Both can be tempting-my experience- neither work.
