Every educator feels it, sees it, and hears it. We are teaching, students are learning, and administrators are leading in unprecedented times. We're facing accelerating change, unparalleled pressures, and overwhelming technology. We are seeing growing uncertainty about how competition for education funding will impact schooling as we know it. These are the forces that are flipping the education world upside down - whether we are ready or not. Yet, despite the growing anxiety and concerns, we are living in one of the most promising times in the history of education. These paradoxical times require every educator to master three pivotal skills: Pragmatism, Plain Talk, and a Pedagogy that puts "relationships" at the center of education Understanding and applying the three Ps are the big takeaways from this session, presented by one of the founders of Flipped Learning - Jon Bergmann.
