Sir Ken Robinson: 'The Real Principle that Governs Human Ability is Diversity'
Apr. 24, 2017
Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson argued Tuesday for a shift in focus in today’s educational system—from one centered on conformity, compliance and linearity to one that encourages diversity, creativity and personalized learning.
Speaking at Lehigh as part of the College of Education’s Distinguished Lecture Series, Robinson argued, “If you get the culture of schools right…if you make them exciting and vital places to be, kids will want to be there. They’ll want to learn, and they’ll do well….And if we do that, then we’ll serve our children the best way we possibly can.”
Students’ best hope for the future and its unpredictability will be to have all their talents developed, he said, so they can create their lives along the way.
