IN MEMORIUM

THIS ENTRY IS A TRIBUTE TO 

THE LATE SIR KEN ROBINSON

AUGUST 21st, 2020

He was a renowned education reformer whose 2006 TED talk on  

"CREATIVITY IN EDUCATION" remains the most watched

  TED talk in history. 

Every "New Teacher Candidate" I have taught since 2008 and my last school staff know how much a loved Sir Ken Robinson and his presentation titled:  “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”  

His passing was a shock not only to me but to all educators who had met Sir Ken through his 2006 presentation which we all still hold close to our hearts today. 

He has made an incredible difference in pointing out how kids are smart and how their program should be differentiated.  

He coached students for success through their strengths. 

I believe he will go down in history with other influential educators such as John Dewey. 

I send condolences to his family and thank them for sharing him with the world of education.   I am still in shock to read that he has left us at the age of 70. Gone far to soon.
