These were the takeaways:
Our Question What Is the Future of Education?
What will resilient schools and communities look like?
1. The need to meet each other in the fullness of our humanity
2. A need for increasing opportunities for students to co-create their own learning starting with making sure the most marginalized students have the resources and supports they need
permission to be bold, wild, creative in the next iteration of what we see as schooling (especially from the agencies of education)
3. If we are going to think outside the box to rethink education we are going to need more.
4. More resources and more freedom to meet the needs of our youth and community.
5. Making the learning more broader for the student. Learn about the student more....interests? goals? how can we do this? Invite and explore more community resources. How do we get there?
That meaning and purpose in life should not be put prioritized as a lesser part of learning. It should be the underpinning of learning.
