Exceptional and unique educational advice for the non traditional student. I will provide feedback, professional, and research based strategies to assist all stakeholders in the challenging process of education.

It is my professional advice that schools should...”teach to the problem, not to the tools.” Bringing us back to fact of how we educate people needs to change. Education today really isn’t that much different from what it was a hundred years ago. It’s still classrooms crammed full of students all learning the same thing at the same pace from overworked, underpaid and under-appreciated teachers who spend thirty years teaching more or less the same thing.
Parents should be the most concerned. Why? From the time kids are old enough to start school until they are independent enough to make their own decisions, parents consume themselves worrying about their child’s education. The sacrifices that are made above and beyond by some families ability to educate their children, in many cases, seem almost heartbreaking. They’ll move houses to be in a better school district, spend thousands of dollars a year on after-school and summer programs, and hire tutors, all to make sure little Jimmy or Sally are prepared to face the world of tomorrow.
The world that the next generation will grow up in will be radically different from anything we have seen in the past. A world filled with artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, automation, virtual reality, personalized medicine, self-driving cars, and people on Mars.
How are parents, and society for that matter, supposed to know how to prepare them to succeed in a world that we cannot predict?
Well, in my field of expertise, I will attempt to shed some positive strategies and light on some of the many possibilities for educating all children. It starts by rethinking what a school is. Schools used to be the storehouses of human knowledge and going to school was the best way to learn anything. As we now realize that knowledge is no longer confined to dusty classrooms or old books.
Thanks to the internet it is now accessible to anybody who wants it. Kids are born explorers, when they are young all they want to do is push boundaries and explore the limits of what they can do. Gone are the days where you pick a profession and just do that one thing for the rest of your life.
Let’s not suffocate that curiosity by making them spend their childhoods preparing for one test after another while adhering to rigid school policies that stifle creativity and independent thought. The ability to adapt and learn something new should be valued above all else. If the last time you learned anything new was when you were in school then you will be missing out on the new ways of understandings the world that are constantly opening up.
Our knowledge of the world and who we are is progressing incredibly quickly. That being said, this is not just something that we have to worry about for the younger generation, adults will also need to be re-educated as most of the skills they acquired in school will soon be obsolete. The ability to adapt and learn something new should be valued above all else.
We have the ability to customize learning to fit each individual’s needs and desires and should do everything we can to take advantage of that ability. We’re going to have to do away with the mentality of kids being arbitrarily lumped together into classrooms full of students all forced to learn the same thing at the same pace. All active learning should be “task driven.”
No more lessons where you just have students jot down notes off a blackboard. Students should be allowed to apply learned knowledge to the assigned tasks in order to successfully gain completion. Instead, educational remedies should provide a child with all of the needed tools they might need to figure out how to solve the problem.
In this bi-weekly forum, I will provide students, parents, educators, school systems, support personnel, tutors, advocates, stakeholders, and all others with outlets on how to reach all students. Additionally, the role of the educator continues to be that of the facilitators for learning. Rather than lecturing everyone, they go from student to student or group to group helping them figure out how to learn what they need to know. Teachers should no longer be required the need to possess a deep understanding of the given topic. But should rather know how to go about assisting students with the know how to learn about it.
The goal of education should never be to get an “A” or pass a test. Making students and parents obsess about grades and scores depletes all the joy of learning. The goal should be to make students literate in all core subjects and fluent at a select few. Being able to do something that you couldn’t do before or finding a new way of understanding the world is far more rewarding than any score on a piece of paper ever could be.
Classrooms themselves will need to be redesigned. No more square boxes with rows of desks, the classrooms of the future should be innovative spaces that promote curiosity while fostering creative social interaction with peers. With the understanding that it continues to take the “village to raise our children.”
