一個看完會起雞皮疙瘩的演講...

Ken Robinson: How to escape education's death valley

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61NysQsWcKQ

建議聽英文版本，因為有些美式幽默其實很棒
所以整個短片重複看了兩三次
有些地方還是覺得很想倒回去重看
有太多見解完全一語中的

另一個影片
是前美國國務卿General Colin Powell
同樣在TED發表的 Kids need structure

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhYnouvrG_8

雖然兩個影片同樣提及了
美國的教育法案「No Child Left Behind」
但Sir Ken Robinson以幽默的方式
從另一個角度重新詮釋了他對於「No Child Left Behind」的看法

就教育政策的基本目標而言
其實跟現在我們推行十二年國教有些地方滿雷同的
每個例子都值得令人深思
就某些角度而言也是滿詼諧卻諷刺的

Teaching is a creative profession.
Teaching, properly conceived, is not a delivery system.
You are not there just to pass on received information.
What great teacher also do is mentor, stimulate, provoke, engage.
In the end, education is about learning.
If there's no learning going on, there's no education going on.
