THE KEYNOTE
ADDRESS |
| Practice: An
article has been selected as a means to get people thinking, reading, and
interacting on-line during this second week. It has the potential to relate
to a variety of educational issues (philosophical, political, social, and so
on) and research issues (epistemology, research design, topicality). In a
sense it is like a Keynote Address to begin the colloquium. You can access
the article using the link on the
right. |

| Introducing Ken Kickbusch |
 |
|
| What can I say about this person, by way of introduction?
Why have him as the keynote? Well, he might appeal to his namesake,
Ken. And Glenn will probably like his constructivist, or "non-mimetic"
focus. As will Beth, and Elena. In fact, Beth, our Southern friend, will
find his last name aligns with her "favorite" (note American spelling)
diatribe. Indeed, I suspect just about everyone will agree will his focus.
Sometimes it can be most difficult to be critical of those ideas we most
agree with. So this should provide an opportunity to think critically about
key issues, concepts and implications being raised and that apply to your
stream (Cognition and Learning, Policy and Leadership, and Sociocultural
Contexts). Particularly those ideas you agree with! |
| Ken Kickbusch is a consultant for learning and teaching
with the largest teacher's union in the state of Wisconsin. You find the
name Kickbusch associated with constructivist teaching, large class
issues, and,... testing and licensing of teachers coming into the
profession.
Regarding a Wisconsin move where a "panel proposes establishing a scaled
license, with roughly five tiers ranging from ``basic'' to ``master''
teacher" he support this.
I hope you find his presentation interesting, thought provoking, and
worth revisiting a few times during our colloquium this year. |
