JOIN US & THE HYDE PARK INSTITUTE
FOR AN ONLINE & IN-PERSON EVENT
ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 27, 2023 4:30-6:00 pm CST
with
THEODORE RICHARDS
A critical look at our education systems reveals how impoverished our children’s lives – and ours – have become: We are educating our children to think of themselves as mere consumers rather than creators, to beware of the world rather than behold it, to think of themselves as isolated individuals rather than participants in communities and ecosystems. Indeed, the assumption that a school’s purpose is merely to provide skills to compete in the global economy is part of the problem. An education consists most profoundly of the unspoken values conveyed by how we educate and by the deeper narrative being passed on through the learning process. We teach by creating a space—a classroom as a microcosm—that serves as a metaphor for the world.
Join us for a discusssion of how we can reimagine learning spaces and practices to educate children for the world to come!
