As many of you know Sir Ken Robinson will be in Red Deer on Feb 9th. CAPSC is excited to attend this event. Recently a Red Deer teacher and blogger, Joe Bower, suggested that we participate in a Sir Ken Robinson Blogathon! His goal is to start and keep the conversation going. We jumped on board right away!
Many of our members share concerns and ideas as to how we can keep creativity in our classrooms. With the SOFA event coming up next week this important topic is really on our minds right now; but we want to make sure community members, parents, students and Educators keep the conversation going.
Some of the things that Joe Bower suggested as conversation starters were:
- What role should creativity play in education?
- In what ways does school need to change? (And I would add to that in what way does formal education need to change?)
- How can school broaden its definition of achievement?
- How can school do a better job of encouraging all children to find their passion?
- What needs to happen so that school is something to be enjoyed rather than simply endured?
This is a great starting point and we look forward to your thoughts!
