How I envision the education landscape when we all swim in the same direction toward a literate society. There is structure in this photo. Deviation results in lower scores. Sound familiar? Reading Horizons can help districts implement science-backed, foundational reading curriculum for Gen Ed, Tier 2/3, Special Education, and other special populations in grades Kindergarten through 12th. It’s time to synchronize with the science. #Readinghorizons #literacyisopportunity #scienceofreading #growth #eradicateilliteracy #paris2024

🚨The American Educational Research Association found that 62% of kindergarteners with limited exposure to science continue to struggle with science in elementary school (and perhaps throughout their educational careers)!

Sir Ken Robinson was a British author, speaker, and education expert known for his research on creativity, innovation, and the need for educational reform. His work emphasized the importance of nurturing individual talents and creativity in education systems, arguing that traditional schooling often stifles these qualities. He reminds us that our current educational system was created for the industrial revolution. Robinson advocated for a shift towards more personalized and creative approaches to learning, aiming to better prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century. His TED Talk, "Do Schools Kill Creativity?", is one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time and has had a significant impact on educational discourse worldwide. We watch it often. Robinson's research and advocacy continue to influence educators, policymakers, and parents, sparking conversations and initiatives aimed at transforming education to better serve the needs of students. He passed away in 2020, but his ideas and legacy continue to inspire efforts to reform education systems globally. His other #tedtalks include; " Bring on The Learning Revolution," " How to Escape Education's Death Valley," and " Changing Education Paradigms." Considered a "creativity expert," Robinson challenged the way we educate our children, championing a radical rethink of how our school systems cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence. At CREATOPIA, INC. we appreciate his research and understand the implications of such on our culture and society as a whole. #whereisthecreativity? #rightbrainabilitiesmatter #thecaseforcreativity "Changing Educational Paradigms" (below), has some amazing designs that help tell the story. Enjoy!

NEW PUB Alert 🚨 In this paper, we explored how high school youth construct knowledge and counter dominant discourses by utilizing informal learning spaces,such as social media platforms, peer and family conversations, as well as personal encounters. The findings illustrate the power of youth voices in a way that could inform future curriculum development. The study also highlights the possibility of creating ethical spaces in formal education to engage in social-justice topics. https://lnkd.in/ebY-mZKG
