The
Unique Child Project
Are
current education systems really keeping up with the radical transformations
that are occurring in the learning environment? We have probably
never lived through such a creative and innovating period of human
development and the needs of the 21st century learner are profoundly
different to that of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Across
the world children are demonstrating their extraordinary capacities
in ways that confound adult expectations. Learning is no longer
confined to the classroom but is happening everywhere and in unpredictable
forms. There is an urgent need to now re-examine our interpretation
of what education is all about and how it is serving the vibrant
engagement of the learner rather than merely academic achievement.
Every
child comes into the world with unique dispositions and capacities.
We are not clones, but are, instead, designed to be good at some
things and less so at others. It is this difference that leads
us to find out what empowers us and provides us with a sense of
personal meaning and purpose. It is also this that is at the core
of the creative process and that leads us to be imaginative thinkers
and innovators.
The
Unique Child Project aims to unite people who are exploring these
issues and who are working to transform our current understanding
of learning environments.
We
invite you to join the dialogue
