What is the purpose of schooling and how should we fulfil that goal?
We are given the challenge to develop the hearts and minds of young people so that they may
become
productive, creative and fulfilled citizens.
One way this is accomplished is by providing a solid
foundation of knowledge and skills combined with the ability of how to apply and transform it. A
connection between learning and the real world is critical to the later recall and application of material.
Students need to be
actively engaged
in their learning by diving into projects and applying their learning
to
authentic problems
. In order to make learning meaningful and lasting, students should also be engaged
in thoughtful discourse and developing self-awareness of their
ability to impact change.
Along with academic gains, students need role models and experiences to raise awareness of their
personal
and societal obligations.
Schools need to help form and guide students through the complexities of life
and learning with a firm, but forgiving moral compass. We should be
partnering with parents
in the
formation of their children by providing experiences in and out of the classroom that call for exemplary
thoughts and actions, with understanding and guidance when they fall short.
Transparency
in our actions
and
communication
is vital to building relationship with students and parents alike.
