Why change?Why we need to be more dog
WHY CHANGE
• IN TEACHING, AS IN MEDICINE, WE CANNOT IMPROVE THE
QUALITY OF THE PROFESSION BY RETREATING TO A FOUR-
DECADES-OLD VERSION OF IT.
•THE MORE THE STUDENT BECOMES THE TEACHER AND THE
MORE THE TEACHER BECOMES THE LEARNER THEN THE
MORE SUCCESSFUL THE OUTCOMES. ( HARGREAVES, AND FULLAN
PROFESSIONAL CAPITAL)
TWICE THE LEARNING FOR HALF THE PRICE
• IF STUDENTS BECAME THE TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS FOR
TEACHERS; IF STUDENTS HELPED TEACH OTHER STUDENTS, IF
THE LEARNING DAY WAS DOUBLED AS STUDENTS CONDUCTED
PURPOSEFUL WORK OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS AS THEY ALSO
BECAME MORE ENGAGED IN LEARNING DURING THE DAY. (THE
PRINCIPAL, THREE KEYS TO MAXIMIZING IMPACT, MICHAEL FULLAN. )
