"Education as a whole is not a problem waiting to be fixed but a set of issues, problems, and opportunities to be addressed." (Weller, 2022).
I'm an advocate for #DesignThinking. Not as a way of solving problems but as a way of exploring the world. This idea comes from Jon Kolko, a designer.
This thinking helps push past the idea that #education is broken and opens up to us (educators) the opportunity to explore issues, opportunities and problems and develop new approaches (small) based on evidence and feedback.
This is me just unpacking my thinking. 😋 @edutooters
@aus_teach @edutooters I appreciate your thoughts on this issue. I think that as a statement to empower educators to improve the situation reframing the problem is good. We talk a lot about locus of control. What can you change, what can't you change. By addressing specific issues you can make a positive impact.
However, at the end of the day, education is fundamentally broken and can not be fixed. It will take more than incremental fixes to make it work correctly.
@edutooters @aus_teach @scerruti I’d love to hear more about what you feel is “fundamentally broken” about education if you’re willing.
@edutooters @DavidKnuffke @aus_teach @scerruti The only thing “fundamentally broken” in education is how it has become a) standardized test driven and b) being run by businessmen instead of educators.
