Fostering a professional learning community in Qatar and beyond
Do Schools Kill Creativity - Sir Ken Robinson
Sir Ken Robinson is author of Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative, and a leading expert on innovation and human resources. In this talk, he makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it. (Recorded February, 2006 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 20:02)

Comment by Ana Santos on April 8, 2008 at 11:53am - Nerine! What an inspirational clip. He is an amazing thinker and communicator. What to do? What to do? As an educator you try to do your best but there are so many confinements... The answer I think we can agree is more balance, to educate the whole child but...you still need the academic excellence to get you a job that will allow you to make a decent living. It is so true what he said about academic qualifications inflation. I see it everywhere.
