• Reshaping Learning from the Ground Up | Edutopia

  "Alvin Toffler's School of Tomorrow

  • These are the fundamentals of the futurist's vision for education in the 21st century:

    • Open 24 hours a day
    • Customized educational experience
    • Kids arrive at different times
    • Students begin their formalized schooling at different ages
    • Curriculum is integrated across disciplines
    • Nonteachers work with teachers
    • Teachers alternate working in schools and in business world
    • Local businesses have offices in the schools
    • Increased number of charter schools"

I am astonished at the simultaneous niavete and common sense in this interview.  Hard to describe.  I have the anger that rises when I see an "expert" who it is utterly apparent never sets foots in a classroom yet I also see someone who is not in the least non-plussed by that.  Worth a New Year's Read.
