Changing education in the Netherlands

* Just to name a view

*

No school! An AGORA.

Example of different education concept in the Netherlands

A place where social life takes place, and had given several functions: political, social and commercial. The word agora means gathering. The agora was initially a meeting place and venue for the free citizens.

Different approach

Calling all teachers: start now, unite and share your stories

From consumption, instruction and standard content & curriculum to facilitation interaction and personalisation.

Stimulate eagerness to learn.

Final thoughts

The rise of the free agent nation: • Lifetime employment is over • Stable employment at large (public) organisations is gone

• The average career will encompass half a dozen employers and two or three "occupations"

• Most of us will spend sustained periods of our career in some form of self employment

• Number of freelancers will grow • Projects (teaching) run by some form of crowdsourcing will grow

• Flexible workforce• We are on our own • It's not theory it is happening

For leaders in your organisation

Don’t help build the silence spiral!

Answer questions, also though questions, be open and very honest no exceptions. Silence leads to doubt, doubt leads to fear, fear leads to panic, panic leads to worst case thinking.
