EDUCATION MATTERS to Dwayne Matthews

Description:

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use, it is a national asset, it will change the world.”

Nelson Mandela

My belief is we need to prepare our children for the future of work, where they compete for jobs in the clouds and march in step with technology. Children must be inspired, motivated, and grow into adults with an insatiable appetite for life-long learning.

Our children, not the bureaucracy or the unions, must be the true heroes and beneficiaries of our educational dollars. We need more of our dollars working in the classrooms to bring in the technology to excite them to learn.

I don't have the answers, but my guest does.

Dwayne Matthews is a renaissance thinker, innovation evangelist, and bold education strategist. Dwayne has addressed the United Nations, Conference Board, the Prime Minister of Canada, School Boards, and Parents with his brilliant ideas and powerful plans for revamping education. He shares them here alongside a life story that gave him these insights and passion.

You will learn why Dwayne believes in asynchronous learning and more personalized education. The need to rapidly adopt new technologies, to transform the role of the teacher from educator to facilitator.

Will you better be served with a Google Certificate or a University Education? Is Micro-Learning better than a master’ Degree?

Dwayne Matthews even has an idea on how to win over bureaucrats' and unions' resistance to change by rapid testing new models and winning over parents. As Dwayne explains:

"When four-year-olds can navigate a technology device faster than adults, the role of the educator has to change." 

My three lessons from Dwayne and why he can unlock the future of education:  Dwayne Is first an observer, second a reframer, and third he knows how to build a bridge to the future that all stakeholders can work on.

As a bonus, Christina Cleveland, Senior Director, Learning & Performance, Strategy, and Innovation at RBC, joins CTM to talk about how progressive organizations are revamping how they engage and train, based on new technologies, micro learning, work-life balance and the future of work.
