Navigating Change: The Podcast from Teibel Education

Developing the Skills of the Life-long Learner with Grant Lichtman


Listen Later

This week, we bring you part two of our conversation with Grant Lichtman, author of Moving the Rock: Seven Levers WE Can Press to Transform Education. In today’s show, Howard and Grant explore a few important questions for our K-12 and higher education leaders:

  • What kinds of skills are needed by students beyond knowledge acquisition?
  • What does it mean to develop the skills of a life-long learner in this age of accelerating change?
  • How do we prepare students to have a resiliency in their capacity to remain open to learning and what happens to the institutions that don't make this shift?
  • In the context of higher education, the struggle for change is happening on two fronts; how do institutions position themselves to attract students and families that celebrates their uniqueness in the market, and how do educators transition the classroom experience to one of deep learning, preparing graduates for complexity beyond the classroom? Together, Grant and Howard offer insights from their work that provides parallels between the effort to adapt that impacts K-12 and higher ed alike.
