So after an unnecessary hiatus, I’ve returned to assigning students projects that focus on addressing actual issues in their world. These are graduate students in the business school at Kent State University and students like the realism of the approach.
My intentions are as much political as pedagogical. One of my dreams for all levels of education is that most of not all learning happens outside the classroom. If we get to zero classrooms, I’d be fine with that because people would be learning in actual contexts where learning would add actual value to their community.
In place of classrooms are celebration spaces where learners come together to demonstrate and share their learnings.
