It raises many powerful questions in a very accessible, entertaining way! Posted at 4:27 PM Keywords: Makes You Think , RSA Animate , Changing Education Paradigms , School Reform 4 Comments |

Harry Tennant said... If you want something to change, measure it. Regularly. What should we measure to move education more in the direction that Ken Robinson advocates? Collaboration is a good start. If we gave grades for collaboration, we might get better at it. Parents would want to see these grades go up. And one way to measure it is to ask the other students that one collaborates with how well he collaborates. Can we give grades on divergent thinking? Or originality? Or creativity? I would think these would be very difficult to measure objectively. And there is some question as to whether they can be taught, whether they're measured or not. So, what would you measure?
