They Never Ask the Right Questions

  • They Never Ask the Right Questions - E2 - Learning in the Stance of a Scientist

    19 FEB 2021 · Just in time for winter report cards, Susan, Rich, Tom, and Cam discuss what we mean by "authentic" when it comes to learning and assessment. We consider the "stance of a scientist", slowing down, and changing the focus from failing to emphasize "mistakes as the most sincere part of the learning process." We ask if "learning to be" might be the most necessary shift education doesn't know it needs to make?

  • They Never Ask the Right Questions (E1)

    11 FEB 2021 · In episode 1 of "They Never Ask the Right Questions" we delve into the woefully inadequate English translation of the French word "apprivoiser" - according to Tom “It's THE most important part of the learning/teaching process". Antoine de Saint-Exupéry used the word in the original text of The Little Prince; translated to "tamed" in English, the power of connection, and responsibility to another, and the opportunity to sit beside and trust in another is lost, as is Saint-Exupéry's intent. Susan, Tom, Rich, and Cam discuss if the missing piece in a "renovation" of public education is an intentional shift to lifelong connection between learners.

  • E0 - They Never Ask the Right Questions

    6 FEB 2021 · In our first conversation, we begin with where we began, and work towards our contention: there is an opportunity in education, in society writ large, to see from a place of acknowledging what we are not seeing. In this moment, are we asking what really matters? What do we want to stop doing? Keep doing? Start doing? And in asking these questions, are thinking about learning, and children? We work towards asking the "right" questions.

You’re listening to 4 friends; spread across a continent.

4 friends that sit together and wonder what the right questions are, sharing our connection across space, and time, and experience.

4 friends that have developed, and continue to develop, a closeness of spirit, of purpose, of friendship; who continue a conversation, weekly, in pursuit of answers. The funny thing about answers is that they begin with questions: our friendship is inspired towards better answers, and yet comfortable steeped in questions.

You’re invited to join us in a conversation as we continue to seek answers towards what matters for children and youth in the context of schooling, and education: but more importantly, what learning can look like.
