Education Errors
•Classrooms are the primary delivery device•Teachers are “sages on stages” instead of “guides on the side•Students are products instead of partners•Stakeholders do not need to be connected 100% of the time•Words and text have a monopoly on literacy•Testing will tell us what is happening and who is succeeding
