Question: What is the future of education?

tanesha Answer: “Like medicine and law, we too as educators should be practioners, constantly researching and trying out new and better ways to serve our students. In the past, educators have found things that work and then continued to use those structures and technique for 50 years, without questioning it, until we are literally forced to change. I think the future of blended and the future of education will be that we, the teachers, become practitioners who understand design thinking, are excited about practicing different methods and approaches, researching strategies, making pivots, and being truly entrenched in this iterative process — wanting to fail fast and also wanting to build and to measure and to learn, so that we can then plant that seed of innovation in their students as well.”
