As an instructional Coach, I struggle daily with the concept of the modernization of education.
What does that mean?
We are stuck in mindsets of the teachers who taught us who taught them who have, by now, died leaving us in a world that they would never recognize. Yet, we persist in the lessons from the past. It's what we know. We teach as teaching has been taught to us. This need to change. We need to modernize our approach to education.
Although this is an older video by Pierre722, we need to shift our perception of ourselves from teacher to educator. When I say shift our perception, I mean not just in title but in practice. Can we do that?
