The public must never be allowed to take #Education for granted.
Highly trained and experienced professionals, hearing a calling and employing
the most modern tools, techniques and procedures, are essential to the preservation
of knowledge. The foundation of a Lifelong Love of Learning, at an individual’s
own speed, is generally prior to and includes Early Childhood Education (age 0-5).
At the Primary Grades (age 5-11), students must be encouraged to explore Critical
Thinking methods, while learning social skills. In Secondary Grades (age 12-17),
students must focus on problem solving, as learned from historical lessons improved
upon by each generation. All tertiary adult education, vocational or academic,
trains students to research, analyze, test, present, criticize and manage with
confidence.
Highly trained in the development of infants and experienced in Early
Childhood Education, these teachers are, not babysitters, they are more like Pediatricians.
Having to deal with physical and mental growth. These professionals must adjust
limbs, change diapers, feed, burp, check for fevers and diarrhea. These
professionals must prepare lesson plans that place emphasis on the importance
of quiet time, listening to music, social interactions and mental coordination.
Providing a learning foundation for the baby students under their care, that in
most cases will not be remembered, but will build curiosity and result in a
desire for much more learning.
Primary schooling is the key time for lessons in communication
skills, such as, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and also, for the start of lessons
in Critical Thinking. Highly trained and experienced teachers must design and
deliver lesson plans to develop these essential social skills in an engaging atmosphere
of fun. A national curriculum professionally designed to reach the targeted age
group or stage of development and deliver such basic social living skills. While,
within every lesson component, Critical Thinking must be demonstrated to answer
logical questions; if so, then what, and forming a moral result, “Is it true
and is it good for all others?”.
At the Secondary stage, highly trained and experienced teachers must
build upon historical lessons across many subject areas with problem solving as
a key underlying factor. Subjects across languages, arts and science, to expose
and stimulate students’ minds and natural talents, are built out, moving from
general to specific, at this stage. Subject Specialists, many of whom have literally
written the book and course work in their particular area, are now online to
assist students. Problem solving is the core element to learning. Now, teachers
must turn into mentors. For when an individual student finds a need or desire
for the lesson, it is quickly understood and processed.
Tertiary learning is about building individual student’s confidence.
Across all disciplines or faculties, historical research and development needs
to be improved. The detail and in-depth study of historical subject matter must
be further researched as a current base line to be enhanced. For the only path
toward any human progress is via learning, which involves a long time at practice
and collaboration with learned peers toward innovation. As an expert in the
particular field, the student can now construct, maintain, analyze, test, present
and criticize. Hence, Educate; Teach and Mentor, others.
