While discussion creating "problem-finders" not just problem solvers in terms of education, Pink says: For instance, breaking the boundary between school and the world -- by tackling not hermetically sealed school problems but examining real issues in a students' community. It could mean giving students more say over what they study. It probably means a more multi-disciplinary approach -- because often what seems like, say, an engineering problem is really or political or economic or behavioral challenge. Delete the scoop?

"Educational coaching has powerful ramifications for the classroom. Through coaching, true teacher empowerment is possible, but perhaps most importantly, the skills that are modeled by the administrator on the teacher are exactly the constructivist skills that teachers can employ with their own students. If teachers are able to help students solve their own educational and personal problems in similar ways, teachers become less prescriptive in their attitudes towards students, and students feel more in charge of their learning and their lives."

In recent months, I've been thinking quite a bit about the importance of online learning in preparing students for their roles in a democracy, especially as I work with Facing History and Ourselves to expand oursuite of online learning opportunities. Democracies require people to carry on discourse with those who hold different beliefs from their own. One of the best ways to prepare for life in a democracy is to live and learn among people with a variety of ideas, values, opinions, and backgrounds.
jheil65's insight:
Absolutely true that we need to be put in more opportunities with communities (virtual and F2F) where we can engage in discourse with those may have divergent opinions and ideas!
