League of Chicago Theatres’ Post

I've been thinking about....the paradigm shift to #authentic learning experiences. Now, hear me out. I call out the #paradigmshift because providing authentic learning experiences for our young people is SO much more than mimicking real-world experiences. It's about building #relationships among the adults in a #school, #district, and #community that result in enlightened collaboration that INCLUDES how we can work together to create actual experiences for young people that impact the world around them. Left alone, teachers, at best, can create versions of real-life experiences. And, in some cases, teachers are pulling together what's needed to create these opportunities for our young people but..honestly...they shouldn't be left alone to shoulder the effort. If we empower teachers by providing the structures, processes, and incentives needed for deep collaboration across a community....well, just imagine what they can do? One simple example is shared here by Jayden Balbuena Valles - a new colleague I met via collaboration here on #linkedin. Jayden is a part of a film maker team in Santa Ana Unified School District who, as a result of the intentional collaboration of a lot of adults AND the determination of young people, is creating real-world products for real-world clients. Imagine the impact on #motivation when young people come to school to learn in this way. Imagine the impact on #chronicabsenteesism when THESE are the types of experiences awaiting our young people. Imagine how much more possible this type of design can be when every single one of us sees ourselves as a part of making it happen (aka this is NOT a "teachers should...." type of shift). Feeling brave? Share an idea below about how YOU (yeah, not "they" or "them") can become involved in making authentic learning happen in your community schools. There.

For your entertainment, the arts and science of entertainment

Indigenous communities or local communities need to strengthen their cultural and creative sectors to enable them to control their narratives and represent themselves authentically on the international stage. This involves preserving and promoting their cultural heritage, empowering creative individuals, and ensuring sustainable economic opportunities. This empowerment not only preserves and promotes cultural heritage but also fosters economic growth and social cohesion within Indigenous communities. For this to happen, a conducive environment must be in place, not only to encourage education on the creative economy but also to allow individuals and the local communities to thrive through the industry. Here's our case for the creative economy in Africa: https://lnkd.in/dxtCrKbz
