Life in Schools and Elsewhere
Schools can be a catalyst for change, not only inside of the classroom, but outside, within our society, economy, and how we engage in personal relationships. Powerful learning can take place with reverse engineering of preconceptions about how a physical classroom should look, or reframing the notion of what colleges and universities can become in the future. Throughout this chapter, these conditions and how they can be a catalyst for change inside teaching and learning will be explored.
The learning outcomes in this chapter are as follows:
- Describe some characteristics of schooling in other nations.
- Define conditions of powerful learning.
- Critique the concepts of reverse-engineering the classroom, and its impact on learning.
- Compare and contrast the critical notion of higher education and the future of colleges and universities.
