How prepared were you for your first day on the job?
What do you do if you find you are completely unprepared?
What is the underpinning ideology of the Doorways to Learning podcasts?
Hi All! Welcome to Doorways to Learning. It’s a place where we open up doors to educators all over the world, who teach all different subjects, different age groups s, different specialities, but have in common their dedication to help our young – and older – learners have a more effective learning experience, which includes emotional, physical, cognitive strategies and frankly, even more importantly, those 21st century skills that will give them the validity in the professional world – those skills that technology still can’t do better than flesh and blood humans. THAT’S what I want to dive into today. Not too deep because you all have a lot to do today – but just deep enough so that the rest of the episodes you hear will all have context. And THAT’S what we need in life – context, right?
So let’s jump ahead 20 years or so and I’ll get back to all the interim adventures – so I can get back to 21st century skills – which is why I think you hit the play button. Quickly, alright – quickly 21st century skills. This is what all my conversations are geared towards and what I’m most passionate about highlighting in the classroom. Now you have context. Now you’ll understand why i fid so much value in the icredible guests you’ve heard or are going to hear as I open one door after another to shine the spotlight on and let you get to know them and their missions.
