Day 6

Today is really when it all begins - the work of the design process. The title of this summit is The Global Student Leaders Summit - Innovation and the Future of Education. Students are working in groups to identify, empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and evolve. What, you ask? The future of education, of course. Throughout the day we listened to people such as Sir Ken Robinson and Brandon Busteed from Gallup education, speak about ways to shift the paradigm for our schools, from an emphasis on student weaknesses to strengths, conformity to personalization, and college readiness to preparedness for life. Students interacted with other students, and educators worked (and danced) right along side of them. The kids are incredible - engaged, having fun, and being creative. I think this is what education should really look like everyday in our schools, not just in Davos, Switzerland!
