“If by the end of the year, they still need me, I haven’t done my job,” she said. “I’m not coming with them to college. They have to be self-driven, independent thinkers.”

===> These days, great edtech leaders need to put many of those Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills to work as they should possess a digital presence as well. Great edtech leaders stay current in their field and have a view towards the future knowing what is coming next in educational technology so to prepare students for the world they are growing up in. <===

Gust MEES's insight:

Education is an inherently moral matter. It is moral because people develop (or fail to develop) morally as well as physically, emotionally, and intellectually. It is moral because teaching--helping to shape other people's minds, sensibilities, and capabilities -raises deep questions of purpose, values, and responsibility.

It is moral because it involves the relationship between one generation and another, a relationship that helps determine the direction and quality of human life" (p. 152). Therein lies our uppermost responsibility. We must stay in touch with our conscience and allow it to inform our decisions.

Gust MEES's insight:

===> Looking Conflict in the Eye <===

I am not suggesting that there is some grand virtue in conflict or in pushing against rules; only that deep reform almost invariably entails creating some hard feelings, upending familiar routines, and overcoming established procedures. Superintendents and principals intent on sidestepping conflict while overhauling low-performing schools and systems will prove, at best, tepid agents of change.

Geniality is a good thing, but there is a time for consensus and a time for conflict. Principals and superintendents intent on radically improving schools and systems need to accept and be prepared for a good bit of turbulence.

+/- 30 years ago I started with Home-Computers, a TRS-80 from Radio Shack with ONLY 8K Memory and a Monochrome Monitor (YOU can laugh...) and I followed the progress of Technology by upgrading, Commodore C-64, Commodore C-128, and so on... Till I got used to PC's, upgrading again + again... Lots of experience behind...

And with PC's and Mac's came ALSO the RISK's, the what WE call NOW Cyber-Security, Attacks and so on...

And as Ana Christina PRATAS says (I agree completely to that): So technology isn't something we need in addition to mental activity; technology is now part of mental activity. And we need to use it wisely.

WE need ALSO to use it in a Community Mentality, thus meaning:

Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, March 8, 2013 9:27 PM

The fact that many adults would dispute this statement illustrates how few understand the extent to which the world has changed in our kids' lifetimes, and the role technology now plays. Let me clarify: Technology isn't about new "stuff." It's not about laptops, iPads, cell phones, or the software kids use. It's not about different ways to do what we do now. And it's certainly not about what we should or shouldn't allow kids access to. All those ways of seeing technology are misleading.

Technology, rather, is an extension of our brains; it's a new way of thinking. It's the solution we humans have created to deal with our difficult new context of variability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. The human mind, as powerful as it is, is no longer powerful enough for our world; the old "tried and true" human capabilities just aren't enough. Technology provides us with the new and enhanced capabilities we need. So technology isn't something we need in addition to mental activity; technology is now part of mental activity. And we need to use it wisely.

Le code d’éthique est le résultat d’une réflexion du comité jeunesse visant à déterminer les moyens collectifs pour persévérer et réussir à l’école. L’obtention de bons résultats en cours et un climat sain dans en classe ne sont pas nécessairement du ressort de l’enseignant.

La responsabilisation entre les élèves grâce à ce projet vise également à diminuer le nombre d’interventions liées à la discipline.

Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, March 9, 2013 12:20 PM

First, educators should be wary of allowing data or research to substitute for good judgment. When presented with persuasive findings or promising new programs, it is still vital to ask the simple questions: What are the presumed benefits of adopting this program or reform? What are the costs? How confident are we that the promised results are replicable? What contextual factors might complicate projections? Data-driven decision making does not simply require good data; it also requires good decisions.

Second, schools must actively seek out the kind of data they need as well as the achievement data external stakeholders need. Despite quantum leaps in state assessment systems and continuing investment in longitudinal data systems, school and district leaders are a long way from having the data they require. Creating the conditions for high-performing schools and systems requires operational metrics beyond student achievement. In practice, there is a rarely acknowledged tension between collecting data with an eye toward external accountability (measurement of performance) and doing so for internal management (measurement for performance).

Christine Golden's curator insight, July 4, 2013 6:42 PM

Good article. I'm still reading it.

Mary Glynn's curator insight, October 3, 2013 7:01 PM

This article really shows how a girl's education is her ticket to survival, success, and a better quality of life. I know I am guilty of dreading going to school some days and wishing I didn't have classes. But after reading this article, I understand how lucky I am. I have the PRIVILEGE of gaining an education that will forward my life. I know that I will be able to get a job, make an income, and support myself. Unfortunately, others cannot say the same. There are many young girls and women who dream of going to school, but are stuck at home doing domestic work. Cotton makes a powerful statement: "[A girl's] exclusion from the single opportunity that could transform her life ensures that her own future children will be born into poverty." I think this is an important and valid quote. Without education, one cannot move up in the world and has limited means. Therefore, when an uneducated young woman has children, the cycle repeats itself; they cannot escape from their lifestyle and struggles. This is why it is imperative, girls receive an education as well. Because if we do not allow every child to an education, we are causing them to be stuck in a world of poverty, suffering and dependence. Girls are just as important as boys, and have the same ability to succeed in life - we just need to give them a chance.

And for those of us who have the freedom to learn and receive an education, take advantage and learn as much as you can; never take your education for granted because others dream about being in yur shoes.
