  • An idea worth spreading

    Teach us to learn forever and work together

    Deciding what we teach students is essential. Reading, writing, and math will always form the foundations for any curriculum. But today information is nearly free to any literate person with access to Wikipedia, libraries, or book stores. Two enduring skills now become critical: evaluating information sources, and collaborating effectively with others.

    The Theory of Knowledge-deciding what to believe-is a core skill we all need to make our own well-formed decisions. Each of us must evaluate and decide for ourselves what information is reliable and what is not. Students must learn to learn for themselves by asking questions, seeking answers, finding information, evaluating, and deciding for themselves. Know how you know.

    Emotional Competency--the essential social skills to recognize, interpret, and respond constructively to emotions in yourself and others-is a core skill we all need to work together constructively.
