In the education box, no formula or school has been entirely saved through covid-19, the repercussions are asymmetrical and the paths to travel vary, largely depending on where someone starts and where they can go.
In the United States, some see the pandemic as an opportunity to drive expected adjustments or to flatly innovate our school systems, while others see it as a systemic setback that will take decades to correct, to get back to where we were last year. Both can be true.
As we have understood, there are ideas that can be drawn from the very diversity of general educational fun with Covid-19 and whether the truth is that Covid-19 is a possibility to take a leap forward or that we simply should not fall too far. In the past, covering up the ears of other people facing similar demanding situations is nonsense. Therefore, it is important, complicated today, to make our focus on classes and sight problems greater outside of our own classrooms, schools and districts and national guides to see how the delight of others can help in our discussions and actions.
To do this, we want a nod to a new eBook published this month through WISE, the education arm of the Qatar Foundation. The global non-profit organization has commissioned, assembled and published a collection of counterfeit and desirable essays through world leaders. in pandemic education, how it has replaced training and learning, and the opportunities and dangers that bring those adjustments.
The book, Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined, is described as “an ancient and fresh account of how schools, NGOs, governments and foreign organizations responded to the closure of schools to the crisis,” and presents concepts and advice from some 50 stakeholders and education professionals around the world. .
“This anthology gives educators around the world the opportunity to perceive what happened. It also presents a number of concepts and answers from some of the world’s leading frontline education thinkers and professionals,” said Dr. Asmaa Al-Fadala, Director of Content Research and Development at WISE and editor-in-chief of the publication. I hope that this publication will provide the school network with a benchmark for the crisis from which long-term research, policies and innovation can be developed,” he said.
Let’s hope that’s the case.
None of the essays are too long or academic and their diversity is substantial. Everyone is sometimes optimistic, many can also put schooling eggs in the basket of technology, a solution we have noticed that becomes too often a challenge. However, compilation is an essential reading – an essential exam at least – for school officials everywhere, but especially here.
This is because school approaches in the United States tend to be extraordinarily short-sighted and reactive, meaning that our national responses to the Covid-19 crisis can be unproductive or even counterproductive. In other words, we would gain the advantage of hearing some new voices in our policy discussions, investment discussions, and in our boardrooms on school technologies. At the very least, it will be mandatory reading for specialization students, teachers and graduate students, many of whom are likely to be affected anyway.
But hearing new voices is the first and ultimate complex lesson.
The most important lesson to learn from BOOK WISE is that it highlights the new role of foreign leaders in education: offering examples, wisdom seller, and connector. This role is more flexible and probably more influential than the old “we have the money and answers” models that led other people and concepts aside, also blocking a square pin on each and every one of them to have a hole.
It is worth noting that this new generation of global school leadership comes from places like Finland, Austria and Qatar and not Silicon Valley or, hold your breath, the leaders of Washington, DC in SV and DC are, ironically, still trapped in the old form. Replacing the technique in education: telling others what to do, promoting solutions, spending money to push for rule reform.
They may perceive that what they are looking for has not worked very well. Reading a full e-book of other diversions and other techniques for not unusual educational fun would be a smart start.
