Week 4: Reading / Creating Frameworks for Possibility

In these times of strife in educational settings, creating frameworks for possibility is the right frame of mind that people need to maintain in order to counter the downward spiral of the educational system, and bring back creativity in the classroom and increased possibilities for our students' futures. We need to assess the situation at hand, decide what needs to be done to improve learning environments, and plan out the course of action as to how we as educators will get there. We can dwell on the depressing fact that the educational system as we know it is failing, or we can take this situation and use the tools available today to create solutions to the deficiencies that are facing our educators and students. We need to be open to possibilities and look at our glass as being half-full, rather than half-empty.
