Hopes and Dreams for My Kids’ Schooling
TEDx
WestVancouver ED
May 11, 2013
CHRIS
KENNEDY
Superintendent,
WestVancouver
School District
This is a story . . . of what I want schooling to
look like
We all wear many hats
Hopes and Dreams not just for my kids, or
your kids, but for all kids
Transformation
Inquiry
Personalization
SOMETHING MORE
CONCRETE
Connected to their teacher, class and
learning
Homework must have a purpose
Let the LEARNING be the prize
SPACE
Be very careful with busy work
We need to delay the ranking and sorting and
focus on the LEARNING
Take good care of them and be MEMORABLE
We are in the midst of a TRANSFORMATION
My Kids,Your Kids, All Kids
