Hurdles with Traditional
Learning Theories and Methods
• Dated – Pre Web 2.0 collaborative
• Research flaws (Academic base)
• Does not consider poverty issues well
• Does not handle societal trauma
• Is top down not collaborative
• Not integrate with collaborative systems
( Worksheet plague)
• Needs to empower student w/ methods
• Still very social Darwinism in style
“Survival of the fittest”
• “Storming the Citadel” by S. Brookfield

Mighty Highty-Tighty
In front of the jail, the Highty-Tighty put a great machine. “Now,” he said, “begins the
fun. We'll take these folk and stretch them a little here, squeeze them a little
there, press a bit, flatten a bit, until their forms are just like mine!”

Personal Values = Humanities
Without values
education (not
clarification)…
STEM is sitting on a
slippery foundation
Values manage/judge every piece
of content and context through a
mental filter.
Values are …
• Cultural
• Go – No Go
• Fight or Flight
• Positive or negative
• Productive or destructive
• Loving or selfish
• Motivating or de-motivating
Poverty’s
Voice: “This is
nonsense I will

GLF Leverages UNESCO Four Pillars
• Learning to know:
– Learning to know, includes Learning to learn, an instrumental learning
skill inherent to basic education, which allows individuals to benefit
from educational opportunities that arise throughout life. “
• Learning to do:
– Learning to do emphasizes the acquisition of vocational skills necessary
to practice a profession or trade. Partnerships between the world of
education and that of business and industry are encouraged in view of
promoting a variety of arrangements that allow education and training
to interact with the world of work.
• Learning to be:
– Delors 1996 “for in the twenty-first century everyone will need to
exercise greater independence and judgment combined with a stronger
sense of personal responsibility for the attainment of common goals.”
• Learning to live together:
– Learning to live together is seen as needing to develop an
understanding of others, of their history, their traditions, and their
spirituality
Citation: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0022/002200/220050E.pdf.
