Teachers should embrace a radical pedagogy and provoke students to demand equality for themselves and others, argues vice principal Tait Coles Schools must develop a commitment to civic courage and social responsibility that ignites bravery in young people to realise they have the power and opportunity to challenge the status quo. School leaders have a duty to promote learning that encourage students to question rather than forcing teachers to lead drill-oriented, stimulus-and-response methodologies. Teachers must awaken the passions of their students and teach the knowledge and skills needed to direct and sustain it. Students need the freedom and encouragement to determine and discover who they are and to understand that the system shouldn't define them – but rather give them the skills, knowledge and beliefs to understand that they can set the agenda. Educators must be prepared to embrace a radical pedagogy and believe that each school should be one of freedom that provokes students to fight against the corridors of power and enforce equality for themselves and others. Critical pedagogy is the only way to achieve this. The philosophy was first described by Paulo Freire and has since been developed by the likes of Henry Giroux, Peter McLaren and Roger Simon. Critical pedagogy isn't a prescriptive set of practices – it's a continuous moral project that enables young people to develop a social awareness of freedom. This pedagogy connects classroom learning with the experiences, histories and resources that every student brings to their school. It allows students to understand that with knowledge comes power; the power that can enable young people to do something differently in their moment in time and take positive and constructive action.

Kellerman explains that the current state of leadership is no better understood or produced than it was 40 years ago and that followers are becoming more and more disenchanted by those who are leading them.
Though the leadership industry thrives, leadership in practice is declining in performance.

One of the most effective ways to provoke student thought is through the building of “rich” questions. By asking meaningful questions - and interacting with textual information – students can come to an understanding that builds upon on their own personal experiences and opinions. Through the use of a template, questions can be created in any way that you want and provide you with a specific platform to begin your questioning focus.

One of the greatest aspects of teaching students critical thinking skills is that, especially when compared to traditional classroom activities, critical thinking exercises can be a lot of fun.

Have you ever asked someone you trusted, respected or admired for his or her feedback and constructive criticism about your work performance? If not, consider giving it a try Obtaining constructive criticism can be a powerful exercise. For some, it may confirm the perceptions they already had of themselves. Others will find it to be an eye-opening experience. For the most part, you’ll find that people feel flattered to be a part of your proactive personal development. Does obtaining feedback and constructive criticism really work? For me, it’s provided an opportunity to learn things about myself I didn’t always know. The feedback also allowed me to adjust certain behaviors so I could positively impact the perception of others. What’s not to love about that?

I think, as educators, we need to stop talking change. We need to stop talking revolution, or reform, or transformation, or evolution or any of those other words that basically say what we’re doing isn’t working. We need to set common goals and then use what we know about teaching and learning to reach those goals. It’s not about test scores. It’s not about reading and writing and ‘rithmetic–or coding, or tinkering, or making or technology. It’s about LEARNING… and COMPREHENDING… and ANALYZING… and EVALUATING… and CREATING… and THINKING… and using the habits of mind that support critical thinking, reacting thoughtfully, doing and sharing. It’s about being a thoughtful, productive, responsible member of the society we call the human race.

Abschied vom Space Shuttle Die Space Shuttles waren ein höchst ehrgeiziges Projekt: Sie sollten wieder verwendbar sein, ganze Gruppen von Menschen und grosse Nutzlasten ins All bringen und jeweils bis zu 100 Mal zum Einsatz kommen. Es war eine Kombination von Frachtraumschiff, Weltraum-Kleinbus und Forschungslabor, wie es sie zuvor noch nie gegeben hatte. Bei der Entwicklung redeten viele mit, von der Wirtschaft bis zum Militär – zu viele. Das Shuttle wurde die komplexeste Maschine, die Menschen je gebaut haben, unglaublich vielseitig, aber auch hochsensibel, fehleranfällig und teuer. Die Kompromisse, die man aus Kostengründen bei der Entwicklung gemacht hatte, rächten sich in den Folgejahren mit steigendem Wartungsaufwand und kostspieligen Nachbesserungen. Zwei tragische Unglücke, bei denen 14 Astronauten ums Leben kamen, zeigten, wie schwer es war, Flüge mit dieser ‚Wundermaschine’ einigermaßen sicher zu machen.

Sociology is the scientific study of human society[1] and its origins, development, organizations, and institutions.[2] It is a social science which uses various methods of empirical investigation[3] and critical analysis[4] to develop a body of knowledge about human social activity, structures, and functions.
A goal for many sociologists is to conduct research which may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, while others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes. Subject matter ranges from the micro level of individual agency and interaction to the macro level of systems and thesocial structure.[5]

In common parlance, a devil's advocate is someone who, given a certain argument, takes a position they do not necessarily agree with (or simply an alternative position from the accepted norm), for the sake of debate or to explore the thought further.

Les travaux des chercheurs néerlandais et américains illustrent, avec éloquence, les exigences d’une société qui valorise la communication et l’échange d’informations via les nouvelles technologies, mais aussi et en même temps, une posture proactive, critique et créative dans la vie professionnelle.

Purpose, meaning, contribution are the drivers that build our best selves, best work, best organizations. Having a keen mind, a positive attitude and the aptitude for disciplined thought, action and resiliency are critical, but they are no longer enough. ===> Accessing purpose, meaning and our ability to contribute in the face of unremitting change, challenges and opportunities demands a whole new focus. <=== A focus that starts with building what I call constructive discontent; a positive, purposeful and a somewhat counterintuitive strength that can be learned. Finding new ways to optimize potential is critical, this aim was the genesis of my 3Q Edge™ and R-E-A-C-H coaching and training.
