edu+in+the+21st+century

Global Program Week #2: It is amazing to me that as teachers during a teachers mtg we are not discussing these issues of new ways to teach in the 21st century. After a time to think about these articles I am convinced that it is because of our administration and their lack of "interest" or desires to change or consider new ways of teaching possible because __they__ do not understand. This new way of looking at learning is not a tried and true way BUT a new way that may work for some. Many schools such as ours have alternative education programs and are trying to get to those students that a desire to succeed BUT are no able to follow the narrow pathways that the public school systems say they must travel. Flexibilty in education is important now days...if it is not there students will go down the rode to the next school that will try to accomodate their needs.
