Sharing my thoughts at the Brainfeed Magazine’s 4th National Conference on School Educational leadership at New Delhi on 4th Feb:
1: Learning is not a spectator sport; it is a participative one. We have to support ‘active’ learning and the teacher has to transform from the ‘sage on the stage’ and display attributes of a ‘coach’
2: India has a demographic dividend that has gone unnoticed: the retired and about to retire teachers, augmented by the new emerging technologies to create a global footprint.
3: An expert can demonstrate his or her expertise; but a teacher can make a expert out of an ignorant person; that is why they are so valuable in the future where the challenge is to very rapidly inform, educate and train very large numbers ( millions) in new emerging domains.
4: Eric Hanushek, Stanford Professor……http://hanushek.stanford.edu/publications/valuing-teachers-how-much-good-teacher-worth
5: The Economist dated 14th January 2017 emphasises life-long learning for succeeding in the age of hyper-automation.
6: It draws attention to fact that the purpose of a school is to build a better learner, who is curious, enjoys learning, has developed the habit of learning and is ready to be a life-long learner.
7: My response is the trinity of : coming of Age in the 4th Industrial Age; the TeacherPreneur and SmartParenting.
8: Elinor Ostrom’s work : learning communities can handle educational challenges better than either the Government or the large private corporations
9: Margaret Mead’s quote : never underestimate the power of a few committed people to change the world. Indeed that is the way it has always been.
10: New emerging technologies affecting education : Big Data, Block Chain and Machine learning. Chatbots : Siri, Alexa..
