Recenzii
Through the art of storytelling Dr. Robert Dillon has crafted an inspirational call to action for the types of transformative changes schools desperately need. He provides clear action steps that any educator, regardless of position, can initiate and sustain meaningful change that will create a culture of teaching and learning primed for student achievement and success. The fact that he ties in stories of other practicing educators adds to this resource that, in my opinion, is desperately needed. Dr. Dillon's work fits in nicely with that of Yong Zhao making it a compelling read for all in the education space.
Providing an effective exit strategy from the Industrial Age model of assembly line education can seem a daunting, if not impossible job. In "Engage, Empower, Energize", Dr. Dillon provides both a narrative of why this change is critical to each of us as educational leaders, as well as pragmatic, straight forward, implementation strategies. By embracing his ten hallmarks of a transformed learning experience-expeditions, effective technologies, story-telling, systems thinking, making, and more-any school can transform learning from test-focused and teacher-centric, to one where students own a learning process that will prepare them for the real challenges they will face in their futures beyond school.
The 21st century educator leads and models teaching and learning through connected, reflective, transparent, and collaborative methods. School leaders must recognize the changes in the educational landscape and support teachers in utilizing the continuous advances in technology. Dr. Dillon's book challenges us to recognize that we must be ready and willing to transform learning spaces in today's classrooms if we truly intend to impact learning far beyond the walls of the school community.
