Our Director Says......
Without supporting
the acquisition of knowledge for its own sake, our options become dangerously
limited. We will live in an age of continued darkness, unable to distinguish the
shadow of the uncertain, from the veil of the unknown. And, it is from this that
we can assess the true power of a good education. If nothing else, it enables us
to pull aside that veil, to caste a light upon the morass of ignorance. I am
personally and professionally committed to this vision, and I have every reason
to believe that this is a achievable objective. Since institution’s education
need not interfere with life’s education, knowledge should be revered. While
learning is a skill, education is unto oneself.
What
shape the educational institutions of the future will take is amorphous, but
most educators and observers agree that the future educational institutions will
go electronic. Computers will become an essential ingredient in the recipe for
an effective educational institution of the future. Students will see and hear
teachers on computers, with "remote learning" - the trend of tomorrow. Accessing
"classrooms" on their home computers, students will learn at times most
convenient for them. Yet some attendance at an actual educational institution
will be required to help students develop appropriate social skills.
The students will use multimedia computers, printers, CD-ROMs, laserdiscs, VCRs,
video editing machines, cable television, online services, and telephones -
simple but effective research tools.
The
main goal working towards future
educational institutions
involve the creation and maintenance of educational system that improves by
selecting the most effective teaching practices. The mission will be to:
ˇ identify
the most effective teaching approaches, techniques, and ideologies,
ˇ
encourage innovations and their adaptation to specific circumstances,
ˇ
Assist the creation of a community of parents & teachers who support each other
in improving
educational institutions.
And
working towards future schools will contribute to the creation of model
educational institutions
which will stand for:
ˇ
"equity and excellence,"
ˇ
teaching of basic skills combined with creative problem-solving,
ˇ
respect for individual values as well as diversity,
ˇ
Preparation for democracy as well as a world economy.
Whatever the configuration of a
educational institution
of the future will be, technologies will always a huge part of it. The
educational institution
days when computers meant word processing or playing games are already behind
us. Yet no matter how great part computers and other technologies play in the
educational institution
of the future, it will only a means to the greater end of enabling students to
learn through interaction with various aspects of life.
With
my best wishes,
