In todays educational world, we have students on an assembly line; open their heads, pour in knowledge and test them to make sure we covered the material; not that they learned, but that we covered the material from A-Z. In this clip, Doug McCurry shows why we need to put the high expectations back into learning through relationships and actual caring that the students are engaged and have real life experiences with the knowledge. Change is inevitable, yet it does matter have we preceive it and embrace it to enhance student learning and social growth.
