I highly recommend this event. Sir Kenneth Robinson is marvelous. I used two
of his TED videos in a class I taught at Nazareth. Not only will you get some
really good information, but Robinson is really entertaining. Also, Ellen
Weber and Robyn McMaster leading the discussion should be a treat.

PUBLIC EDUCATION - time out??? KEN ROBINSON - EXPLORES THIS TOPIC. JOIN THE
CONVERSATION ON EDUCATION REFORM! Thursday, March 17 @ 7 PM

Dear Hussain B.,
The "epidemic" of failed public/urban education is a topic that gets everyone
going. We point to the teachers, parents, the superintendent, the school
councils, the lack of role models, or the kids unwilling to learn as was
done "back in the day."
The problem may just be that - back in the day lessons. Is the classical public
education curriculum outdated in its essence? Ken Robinson thinks as much and
argues for models of learning that promote creativity & divergent thinking.
Let's dialogue on alternatives. If you have an opinion, here is your chance.
Check out our Friday film - a love story in China!
We thank YOU! Support us!
