Educational Innovation
Marc Prensky proposes that today’s existing, world-wide curriculum — based on offering roughly the same math, language arts, science and social studies to all — is not what is required for the future, and is hurting rather than helping the world’s students. Math, language arts, science and social studies, he argues, are really “proxies” for a small number of identifiable underlying skills which can be taught in other, more useful ways, and furthermore, he says, there are many other skills students need that we do not offer at all — particularly in the areas of action, relationships and accomplishment.
This module considers a different curricular organization, based on the four key areas of Effective Thinking, Effective Action, Effective Relationships and Effective Accomplishment.
