Blog Post #10 - What can we learn from Sir Ken Robinson?

Sir Ken Robinson

Sir Ken Robinson's speech, Bring on the Learning Revolution, was very inspiring to me. He says that instead of education evolution, it should be a revolution. Changes need to be made in education and the way we teach our students. Educational systems are being reformed, where they are fixing broken models. Instead of fixing what is broken, it needs to be completely changed and improved. As teachers, we need to accommodate the needs of our students by recognizing their talents and passions. The school system needs to be moved from being standardized to being customized for each student's needs.

A successful teacher should not just be a teacher to have a job, it should be a job that they are passionate about. When you are passionate about a job, you love doing it. If you are constantly looking forward to the weekend, then you are not passionate about it. When a teacher absolutely loves their job, it becomes easier for them to teach and their teaching is more effective for the students.

This video by Sir Ken Robinson was very interesting to watch and inspiring. I learned a lot from watching it and I agree with many of his points that he brought up. Our education system needs to be changed to better improve how children learn. We need to nourish each student's need and passions to make learning more enjoyable for them so that they will be excited about becoming successful in whatever career they choose.

  1. "A successful teacher should not just be a teacher to have a job, it should be a job that they are passionate about." The way you wrote this made it a run-on sentence. You can fix this by either inserting a semi-colon between "job" and "it" or you can replace the comma after "job" with a period and capitalizing the i "it".

    That aside, good post.

  2. Hi Jasmine. I also found Sir Ken Robinson's speech to be inspiring. The way he talks about an education revolution compels me to be a teacher that helps bring about the revolution.
