Moving through Reimagining education with Ranjani Shettar
Ranjani Shettar- Ranjani is international artist, proud mother and wife, just to allow a short introduction for Ranjani ’s ”works are in many prestigious museum collections and have been the subject of several solo presentations including at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (The MET) (2018)..” and I invite you to access more on her work here. In this episode with Ranjani, you would be partnering with the idea “how do I as an adult, parent maybe, step up my game and raise curiosity at the level of a child”? with the beautiful idea Ranjani expresses “I am only as educated as my youngest child, I am having my second chance”. Isn’t this an expression of infinite mindset for learning and education (thinking of the great resource book called Infinite game by Simon Sinek) ? I am a political scientist so I have to appreciate the decoding of how concepts work in practice, the learning in 21st-century skills-based allowing it to happen. We have one such decoding from this interview with Ranjani “ how can we support children learn?”: 1. Their interest/motivation (unhindered time) ; 2. Adult guidance, and facilitation when needed to be available; 3. Access to learning resources. As this year started for me with the beautiful words from Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi wishing us “ renewed optimism” I hear Ranjani mentioning “ she chooses to be optimistic about technology to support teachers’ work”. Last but not least one of my favorite scaffolding models for learning, that I use in teachers' training programs that of Lev Vygotsky’s proximity zone where learning becomes actually possible, and I always offer the example of a childhood moment when we learn to use a bicycle without the training wheels, so you want to listen to Ranjani telling us her story about this moment.
There is this naturality about the dialogue that will make you feel close and supported, reflected, and that I believe will open new perspectives. I leave you with this question as you jump into this amazing episode “ what is it that you naturally need to thrive to be creative?”.
