This year, it was human-centered education, appropriate given the ascent of artificial intelligence, social media, and deeper polarization. In this, policymakers put too much blame on schools of education and not enough on what happens when a new teacher has to negotiate what they’ve learned with the culture of the school and system.

We can all agree that professional development is essential in any profession, especially education. It is an opportunity to become better at what we do as well as gain knowledge on new pedagogical techniques, learning theories, leadership strategies, technologies, and federal/state mandates. Something has to give though.

As educators one would expect that teachers and teacher/administrators should be experts on the best most effective and efficient methods of getting large groups of children to understand, learn, and use information responsibly to create more information. I firmly believe most educators have these very skills to accomplish this with kids.

On top of all this I helped lead Edcamp Gig City this past Saturday and when I'm looking at the feedback I can't help but think.even teachers don't truly understand how to best engage in group discussions. That is the worst thing to happen in education.

Anyone who thinks that there is one answer to all that is wrong in education is at the very least ill informed. Public education has had hundreds of years to establish practices and procedures that would ultimately slow down any progressive ideas for change. The best example I can think of is the Edcamp movement.
