On Feb. 19, 1968, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood debuted on PBS Television. During that first episode, Mr. Rogers taught us that change leads to new ideas. Fast-forward 50 years later. In education, we would do well to heed this lesson. We need to continue changing, because we need to generate new ideas. Why is this important? Students across the U.S. have so much untapped potential to develop new ideas and those ideas could lead to a cure for cancer, unlimited clean water, or innovative approaches to celebrate diversity. Yet, I have found that resistance to changing our traditional formal educational classrooms is deeply ingrained. Where do we get new ideas? Innovation starts and ends with people. People are the generators of new ideas. Endorsed by Future Ready
