The world is becoming increasingly turbulent. It is difficult to overstate the impact of digital technologies on how we think, live and work. The benefits of these technologies are extraordinary, but there are drawbacks too. K. Robinson

We need to be teaching non-
routine interpersonal skills
(such as those involved in

“Trying to meet the future while doing what we did in the past” Sir Ken
Robinson
Too much focus on deductive reasoning
Linear relationship between academic versus non academic on the
spectrum extremes
Greater needed for divergent thinking. Thinking laterally, changing the
status quo
It is the capacity to learn that needs to be nurtured – not just ‘what is
learnt’. Anonymous

can tailor what we do to providing the right type of challenges that encourage

Intuitive Synergy

23
Intuitive SynergyHuman beings and human communities are the same. We need the right conditions for growth, in our schools, businesses, and communities, and in our individual lives. If the conditions are right, people grow in synergy with the people around them and the environments they create. If the conditions are poor, people protect themselves and their anxieties from neighbors and the world. Some of the elements of our own growth are inside us. They include the need to develop our natural aptitudes and personal passions. Finding and nurturing them is the surest way to ensure our growth

Sir Ken Robinson’s “Finding your element through passion”…
Strategies – Creativity & Passion
Provide students opportunities to reflect
and learn their passion so that they can
better navigate through life
Choose a job you love, and you will
never have to work a day in your life”.
Confucius

element, you have to love what you do.

A good life is not measured by security,
wealth, status, achievement or levels of
happiness. A good life is determined by our

willingness to connect with those around
us in a meaningful - Hugh McKay

Physical InfrastructureHow can our physical infrastructure better promote the
“7 senses”?
“Community is not something you have, like pizza. Nor is it something you can
buy. It's a living organism based on a web of interdependencies ……. It
expresses itself physically as connectedness, as buildings actively relating to
each other…….” James Howard Kunstler, The Geography of Nowhere
