Educación Permanente

"En resumen, constatamos que la educación permanente no puede ser reducida ni a una educación «extra-escolar», ni «complementaria», ni «prolongada», ni «fundamental», ni tampoco «de adultos», porque todas estas interpretaciones solo ven una parte del problema. La educación permanente no es algo que se añada a un determinado sistema. No es un sector nuevo, una nueva área. Consiste en una nueva perspectiva, que lleva los educadores a redefinir toda y cualquier educación (1966, p. 136)." Pierre Furter, "Educación y vida" (1966)

Changes is the Process

"Technology may be the product but change is the process, and it is within this process that the school administrator’s leadership challenge resides."

We Need and We Want

"We need to design a new approach to the curriculum and a learnig journey that focuse on the development of skills in contexts that allow for flexibility of focus, real application and, most importantly, an end to abstract, isolated subject development. We want to create a curriculum that the children feel ownership of, that something to them now and in the future" Richard Gerver Beyond subjects, "Creating tomorrow's schools today"

A Critical Necessity

"Educational technology is no longer an option, it's a critical necessity for every child charged with developing the skills necessary for success in a our digitally enhanced and globally competitive society. How long must we make them wait for us to catch up? We must serve the children that we are teaching today. It is our responsibility to stay up to date on best practice to meet students where they are. Learn how to use tools that engage and inspire a passion for learning. Learn along side of them and with the tools that foster higher levels of thinking and more productive, collaborative, life long learners." http://www.centerforpubliceducation.org/Learn-About/21st-Century/Defining-a-21st-Century-Education-Full-Report-PDF.pdf

Learning to Learn and Live

"Learning is an intensely personal experience. We are all unique and, therefore, to each of us, every experience can mean different things, spark different emotions and different intellectual responses. The fact that we are all unique define us as species. For education to help us continue our evolution we must ensure that it helps us to develop that sense of who we are and how fit within a wider community. For that reason LEARNING TO LEARN AND LIVE must form the foundation of our educational experience." Richard Gerver Creatin Tomorrow's Schools Today

About School of the Future

"A school of the future is about understanding the learning and management of that learning; it is about creating flexible, almost liquid, environments that can change and develope as quickly as the world around them. In others words, we must design the process before we build the tools and this is a massive cultural shift in educational thinking" Richard Gerver Creating Tomorrow's Schools Today
