Andrea Saveri, a blogger from Saveri Consulting posted on June 19, 2013 an interesting blog about five changes that will help to regenerate the education system and,
will provoke our imagination about new possibilities for teaching and learning.The most interesting of the five was #3: Diversification of School Formats.
The rapid onslaught of technology not only into society, but also into our schools, has brought rapid change in behavior, interactions, and dispersal of information. That combination of change has also encouraged innovative ideas that have helped fuel the formation of new schools. As Saveri mentions, schools will be diversified (and, I believe, currently are) to meet a variety of needs. These needs are being met through hybrid formats, technology integrations, and more. Future integrations could include micro schools and design/service focused schools. If schools are meant to produce successful members of society, isn't it our job as society members to offer these diverse learning environments to meet the diverse needs of society?
Thanks for sharing this article! I agree with you that the diversification change is most certainly an interesting one. I can see it happening already with the changes that are continuing to come down the pipe in our public school systems. Schools will also have to be diversified to meet the needs of an ever-changing group of students and the day that we stop making those continued changes, as educators, is the day that students will be learning from home. Once again, thanks for sharing!
