Generative mindsets
I had tears in my eyes last Friday as I sat in on our 21C meetings that Mr. Cowan, Ms. Sophocles, and Mr. Martinez were holding with students. After six months of reacting to covid, and all the attendant planning necessary to get the school year underway, it was moving to see students and teachers being generative and forward looking in their conversations. We’ve had to be far too reactive over these past six months, sadly; it was exciting to see the possibilities of being proactive in the months ahead. Education is, or ought to be, a generative exercise, and young people should be looking forward rather than backward. While our current circumstances have caused us to be looking over our shoulders for the past six months, a new school year, a hybrid schedule, and 21C projects give us encouragement that the future is brighter our past.
