In a very funny speech, Sir Ken Robinson makes a case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity.
I came across this video in Julie McCracken’s blog: Coaching Magic. Julie describes her role as:
“Enhancing communication and learning between children and adults at home and in schools. Specialising in Clean Coaching, Emergent Knowledge, Listening&Questioning”
Sir Ken Robinson
“If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you won’t come up with anything original”
.
This is from his facebook group page
Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.
Why don't we get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson argues that it's because we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies - far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity - are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message with deep resonance. Robinson's TEDTalk has been distributed widely around the Web since its release in June 2006. The most popular words framing blog posts on his talk? "Everyone should watch this."
A visionary cultural leader, Sir Ken led the British government's 1998 advisory committee on creative and cultural education, a massive inquiry into the significance of creativity in the educational system and the economy, and was knighted in 2003 for his achievements
