Read this post to learn more. Each characteristic listed also includes an explanation. Characteristics listed include: * The students ask questions - good questions. * Questions are valued over answers. * Ideas come from a variety of sources. * Learning is personalized by a variety of criteria.

As we move closer to the implementation of Common Core testing in many states we might consider discussing what a "reimagined education system" would value and teach? Would it be Common Core curriculum or would it address other issues, such as the need to:
* Be student centered
* Be inquiry based
* Provide authentic learning experiences
* Teach students how to manage information (as more and more comes online daily)
* Teach students how to learn
This list could continue. The post addresses the issues listed above (and additional ones as well). In many ways we are at a crossroads in education and this post explores some of the issues. How would the teachers at your school feel about these issues? Is this a discussion that has taken place? Does it need to take place? Each of us may come to different conclusions but the conversation is worth having.
