This video lists 8 different ways humans learn. The opportunity to learn by using a child's strengths is brilliant. I liked how the different groups around the classroom makes it easier to learn in the way that's easiest for the child. Changes in Education happen daily. Certain changes start small and then work their way to being recognized. The "Smartville" classroom was a smart and fun way for students to enjoy attending school while learning future responsibilities.
I strongly believe, if the test scores are higher than most schools, then why not "install" the same idea into other classrooms. I could see myself in the future adopting a similar idea in my classroom. We, as educators, are not in this profession to punish students. I feel if these changes were to take place, students would be more motivated to go to school.
What do you think? Could you see yourself putting your children in a school that has this program?
I agree with you. School should not be focused on punishments, but rather reinforcements to make students want to be successful. Students need modivation to become successful individuals, and some students never get this at home. Therefore, as educators we should make it a goal to provide this modivation for the students who need that extra "push".
