Roy Sharples & Gary Burt on Manifesto for Educators

Learning is critical to human existence. As water and food nourish our bodies, so too do information and knowledge fuel our minds. Everyone is capable of learning—anyone and everyone—is influencing a person’s learning journey. People have different learning styles and preferences, which take on various forms instead of fitting into one specific pattern. It is essential to be aware and adaptive within the learning process to minimize exclusion and optimize for the best learning experience and outcome. 

Many people who evolved into creative pioneers did so off their backs, not because their education system enabled them along that journey. It discouraged and ignored their difference and potential. Creativity is the core of humanity. Breaking rules is what creativity involves, and the rebellious nature of the mind is a catalyst to create. That does not mean breaking the law; it means questioning the status quo and treating what you do as a blank canvas to self-express and provide an alternative.

Roy Sharples and Gary Burt discuss their manifesto for educators to drive a learning without frontiers sensibility and approach for instilling creativity and innovation within what they teach and how.
