Many things point to the need for meaningful change in education. Change around the world is driven by exciting new research on how the brain works and how people learn. Learners must not only develop what they know, but also skills, attitudes, and values that will help them be capable people. For this to happen, they need to actively take part in their learning and be motivated by it.(christopher.2014). We are in the Information Age. New technology that supports learning is also driving change. New tools allow students to connect with others all over the world. A mountain of information is easily accessible with just the click of a button. The teacher no longer holds all knowledge. They are now a critical coach, showing students how to select, work with, add to and apply information in meaningful ways.(Siler.2020). Many education systems are feeling challenged in having to prepare students for today's fast-changing world. People everywhere are grappling with how to engage students in their learning. Students must develop the knowledge and skills for today and tomorrow's workplace, further education, or training. There is currently a shift in the way we understand learning. This shift moves away from an individual focus and moves toward an understanding that connections and relationships are key to learning
Hi Tamara, Nice work on your site. I love the inclusion of the youngster on your video. He is a cutie-pie. My mother is from Germany and she did not teach us the German language. It would have been so much easier to have learned as a child. I love that you have a biligual program for the elementary kids. Nice job. Sabine Mixon
