Sir Ken Robinson confirms that the learning revolution has already begun and if we have any involvement with students we can make a difference:
The education system for any given student is the school or classroom they go to… If you are a teacher you are the education system for those kids. So you can change the world of education for those kids immediately if you choose to. If enough of us do that, that adds up to social movement and that is what revolutions is.
Are you doing your part?
Robinson is very encouraging and he reminds us that a revolution is a grass roots movement that begins in individual classrooms and can grow. I sure hope enough people are empowered to move in this direction.
Sir Ken is spot on. We need a learning revolution. I appreciate that he emphasizes a two-way revolution: teachers and school districts can change things in their sphere of influence and policy makers can change the system of education from their positions.
