I wanted to tell you that I watched the video on "Changing the Educational Paradigm" that you recommended, and I instantly recognized it from my one of my teaching credential courses several years ago. The parts that really resonated with me had to do with how our federally mandated standardized testing starts to standardize our students. Some important questions raised that I liked were 1) Should we really continue to group students according to their 'manufacture date' (age) or instead start to group them by their abilities so that they are challenged? and 2) Why are we trying to reform education to be like it was in the 'good ole days' when our current technological society is not anything like the past? <br /><br />I am going to miss RISD a whole lot. Glad you enjoyed this art museum - one of the best I have visited. Alana Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15812750561904437453noreply@blogger.com
