14 3rd Millennium-Ready Teachers

15 Points to Ponder We teach in DISCONNECTED departments. Learners live in INTERCONNECTED world. We teach INDEPENDENT lessons. Learners live in INTERDEPENDENT world We teach learners about OUR PAST, OUR PRESENT AND OUR FUTURE. Learners live in THEIR PRESENT AND THEIR FUTURE We teach what we KNOW. Learners live to face the UNKNOWN We teach KNOW WHAT learning. Learners live in KNOW WHERE learning We tell learners to respect the ULTIMATE SOURCE OF LEARNING: THE TEACHER. Learners can get access to DIFFERENT SOURCES OF LEARNING

16 So, Remember ... We prepare students for their FUTURE, not our PRESENT. We prepare students to succeed in their life, NOT just at school
