"The End of Average" presented by Dr. Todd Rose

From www.youtube.com - February 12, 2015 3:38 PM
Eight Harvard Ed School faculty members have eight minutes each to present their bold ideas for impact.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Do not miss this all important video where Dr. Todd Rose explains why we need to abandon the "average" in education and create an education system that focuses on the individual learner. We can not continue in the current "average" system that was designed during the Industrial Age to support an Industrial Age economy. We need a system, as Dr. Rose points out, designed where "each student can become their very best".

Design Learning from the Extremes - "The Myth of Average"

Design Learning from the Extremes - "The Myth of Average" | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it
From www.personalizelearning.com - July 2, 2013 5:48 PM

Todd Rose talks about the "Myth of the Average" in his TedTalk comparing education with the Air Force who found that no one is average.

Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Each student has a jagged learning profile. They have strengths, averages and challenges. If you design learning for the average, you design it for nobody. We have created learning environments where we can not expect learners to do what we want them to do.

 

The average hurts everyone. Designing average destroys talents in two ways:

> The existing educational environment can not challenge learners as it creates an environment where they become bored and sometimes dropout. 

> It means that your weaknesses will make it harder for you to see your talent.  

 

It is all about nurturing individual potential.
