This Padlet represents my emerging vision for education. I have attempted to highlight the biggest values – that could then be further developed into more specific actions. I have been enjoying the "What if" strategy for imagining the possible in education, so I thought I might brainstorm a few more "What ifs" to further develop my vision for education.
What if "schooling" wasn't defined by a place or time, but was instead seamlessly embedded at the intersection of school, community, and home life?
What if the most valuable "products" of education were self-efficacy and solidarity?
What if people of different abilities, interests, expertise, ages, genders, races, cultures and religions could interact, collaborate and learn from each other in a vibrant and diverse community of learning?
What if curriculum was like pursuits in "real life" – simultaneously integrative of multiple skills and disciplines, and driven by purpose and passion?
What if we considered whole-person health and development with every educational decision?
I'm not sure if this "What if" process has helped me communicate my vision in any greater detail, but it has helped burn off some of the mist and allow me to see a little bit more clearly.
