Schooling Today


We're living in a time where "school reform" has come to mean everything from "Let's get rid of those lazy/greedy/no good teachers" to "Schools are already over-funded. They don't need more money. Next year, they'll get less." But neither of those have anything to do with reform.

The videos on this page make the case that we need authentic and lasting change in the way we conceive of learning, teaching, even schooling.


Are Schools Killing Creativity?

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.


Changing Education Paradigms
