Education ideas from Zeri.org
good comments about education ! (from Zeri.org)
Education can be about "reaching out", not "teaching", "exposing" not "imposing".
Learning is not just about academic achievement, it's also about providing skills for life: how to communicate effectively, how to build something with bare hands, and how to express latent artistic talent. Learning should also focus on how to give shape and form to ones future and community.
Zeri advocates teaching five intelligences: academic knowledge, emotional intelligence, artistic expression, eco-literacy, and the capacity to implement.
Learners of all ages connect best with stories. Stories engage the emotions, and make content memorable. Learning science through stories is unorthodox, but it makes learning science both easy and enjoyable! The fables present academic knowledge (AK) in a way that makes it relevant to daily life - it becomes a tool that children can use creatively when thinking about the challenges and opportunities of the world we live in.
A learning system based on the combination of these five intelligences prepares youth for the challenges they will face in our changing world. With this approach, future generations will be full of creativity, ready to innovate, with clear ethical values. Most importantly, they will be determined to create a better world, such as their teachers and parents could never have imagined.
