Ok, I have a question: What exactly are those three letters before Ken Robinson’s name good for?

Dear Sir Ken – we met in Toronto at the Outward Bound presentation. I am eager to reconnect with you in support of World Creativity and Innovation Week April 15 – 21.

What three things would you suggest we emphasize in order to engage everyone on the planet in a truly human celebration – not restricted by geography, politics, age, race, gender, ethnicity and so on.

How might we encourage people in schools to use World Creativity and Innovation Week April 15 – 21 to the benefit of their students, staff and curriculum?

What might you suggest that would help motivate people to own their capacity to use knowledge, imagination and to make new decisions, and in so doing affirm their creative potential? Yes that’s a big question, so here’s a smaller one – what might we do for World Creativity and Innovation Week April 15 – 21 to set them on this path?

Thanks so much for making yourself available.

Looking forward to hearing from you
Best regards
Marci

Here’s my question–no time to register with Reddit right now. I’m in a doctoral program in educational leadership and find that American public education system is in triage mode about the basics (language and math skills defined by NCLB policies) that even getting to the creativity or re-imagination of education seems impossible. How could public school administrators and policymakers engage your important perspective? What are three things you would call the American public education system to start with?

Dear Sir Ken. I loved your talk on TED. I have one question. What do you think about the standardized tests like GMAT or SAT? Does it play any important role in GETTING into a school? Thank You .

Dear Sir Ken Robinson we all agree that changes in education is the most powerfull weapon against the poverty in the third world, however, motivate students in this propose is really hard for 3 reasons that I’ve observed:
1- The student wont will enjoy the benefits of the changes that he has fought for, it will just afect the next generation.
2- There are so many “education provider” that it is “impossible” change the society just changing the school or university.
3 – Change the education it is not an objective that you can really achieve, it is a process. The sense of “ideal” changes as the culture evolves.

So, how do you think is possible to motivate more people in this mission?

Best regards

Thanks

Sir Ken

I am an educator who has worked in secondary (high) schools, further and higher education working in the UK and Middle East. I share your concerns about the systems of education around the world and the affect they have on young minds and creativity and innovation, something that has been heightened since having my own children.

How can I, as a lone individual teacher, constrained by curriculum, a focus on results and tables and a whole host of stake holders apart from the students themselves – really make a difference that matters and change things ?

As a parent I am tempted to home school my daughter – but what else can we do to keep the wonderful curiosity, imagination and creativity that she now displays as a two 1/2 year old?

Loved both your books – thank you.
