I believe that all children deserve the right to attend schools that afford them the opportunity to identify and develop their talents and self respect. Following John Dewey’s imperative to teach from the interest of the child, instructors need to teach to their strengths, influenced by the ways in which they connect with the adult, working world.
In this 21st century, students need to be nurtured and empowered so that they may, with agility and creativity, make sense of a world being inundated with information. They need to competently communicate their ideas in collaborating with others. Responsible digital and compassionate global citizenship complete a sound preparatory experience. *see original post 10/23/16 and subsequent comment
