How do we create disruptive wonder in our current educational system, how do we discover the hidden talents in every day things? I think this is a wonderful question to pose in our current educational environment. Teachers who engage in project work help children discover the hidden talents in every day things, bu also help us discover the hidden talents in children and in ourselves. I believe that through curricular approaches like the Project Approach, we push the boundaries of what is expected in education and we reject the normal order of traditional education. The Project Approach calls for use to expect more than our current reality, a reality most teachers claim doesn't benefit the students or themselves as educators. So, why do we continue to accept the normal order of things in education? I would appreciate any comments or feedback because I struggle with this when working with teachers. While they don't like the norm, they find it so difficult to make the paradigm shift towards discovery. Thoughts?
