Secretary of Education Arne Duncan was on the Cornel West NPR radio show recently, and I just wanted to point to one snip that I think clearly shows that problem we’re having when it comes to how we define learning. Here’s Duncan:
Secondly, on the test scores, it’s a really, really important…
An Introduction
And so it begins.
My name is Taylor Katzel. I am a first (soon to be second) year student in the Queen’s Concurrent Education program. I am a future educator.
My teachables are English and Visual arts. Thus far, I have had an enthralling time exploring my horizons in each subject, and have grown especially fond of each during my short time at Queen’s thus far. In two months, I plan to go to OCAD University as a Special Student in order to earn two credits toward my Visual Art teachable.
For now, I’m not sure what lies ahead. However, from first impression I know that the rest of my Undergraduate degree will be filled with exciting experiences, both those relating to Education and those not. I am especially excited to begin partaking in a more advanced level of English Literature courses, so as to eventually achieve my Major in English. In general, I am excited to see where the road takes me.
“Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don’t know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.”
—Sir William Haley
