Will Students Make the Grade in an Education for the World Ahead? The Erroneous Dilemma Between Testing and Creativity

Presenter: Maurice Ghysels

Using an overview of the continuous improvement and collaborative learning activities from the Mountain View Whisman School District, Maurice Ghysels offers a thought-provoking discussion focused on the need for testing and creativity in the public school system. He makes the connection between the components of a continuous improvement classroom and 21st century skills, and also argues that art and music education provide a more innovative and creative learning environment to prepare students for the future.
