Ronald Beghetto chats with Brent Maddin about how teaching has become increasingly difficult for the new generations. Maddin introduces the Next Education Workforce initiative at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, and how the one teacher, one classroom model is not sustainable. Distributed expertise and combining teams of educators with groups of students leverages strengths of adults, and maximizes learning opportunities for students. He also discusses how important it is to prepare novice teachers to generate better environments that encourage them to stay in the profession, as well as implementing student engagement and allowing them to become “captains of their own learning ship.”
