The points made in this short and clearly written journal article can be summarized as follows: we need a new curriculum that focuses more on basic (and human) capacities rather than 'template' content knowledge. Additionally, this curriculum should support personalization by students. Curriculum needs to be seen as evolving, and supportive of student self-determination. School practices should be co-developed with students. Instead of direct instruction, pedagogy should focus on authentic and significant problems. We need to move teaching and learning online, because this allows students to be distributed across the community. And "being disconnected physically can result in being more broadly connected virtually." Covid may have propelled us toward these changes, but these are changes we've needed for a long time, which is why I chose to illustrate this post with my 2006 Schools 2.0 diagram.
