The Critical Move From Vision to Action: St. Christopher’s School, Richmond | The Learning Pond
“If a school organization asks people to implement classroom tactics aligned with a vision of innovation, asks people to do things differently than they have in the past, the school needs to provide three things: a clear, overarching articulation of how these changes en toto support the vision; a picture of what innovation looks like; and the time and resources to learn the new skills they require.

We must strive to ensure that the time we spend together will help every student become a better citizen and person, both today, and in the future. Our classrooms must then be lenses on the world, not just for the students who fall in love with the same content we love, but for every child.”

“The main message I’d like to promote is ‘Develop yourself, explore the world around you, and try to do something to make a change,’ ” he says.”
Another example of self-motivated learning. It remains interesting to me that a number of examples of self-motivated learning come into conflict with “schooling.” But isn’t the learning that is happening with this example (many of these examples) exactly what we want our students to pursue, learn, develop, etc.?
