Do we want a culture of inquiry,
interdependence and collaboration? If so what are
some of the new learning models. Stephanie Pace
Marshall says "tomorrow's learning environment is
focused on teacher facilitated and student
generated knowledge." She points out that meaning
and connections are constructed by the learner;
that affirms the power of relationships and
community in learning; the learner's passion and
love are essential for deep learning. The purpose
of education is to acquire wisdom through the
reflective and often slow exploration of essential
questions; and engaged learning requires an
intergenerational community learning
together.
