The Tribe
In 2015, we mourned the loss of Grant Wiggins (blog). Over ten years ago, we were introduced to the writing and thinking of Grant Wiggins before Education Resource Group was ever dreamed about. Whenever we saw his articles or blogs, we would take time to read them because we knew some sort of genius would spill from the page and help us regroup our own ideas about teaching and learning.
If you are a person who knows the current institution of education needs a tune-up and have possibly lost your way, we think these ideas written by Stephanie Malia Krauss will resonate with you.
She knew Grant Wiggins personally and offers 4 important lessons for all of us in education.
1. Be authentic.
2. Do not ever lose vision and passion.
3. Plan with the end in mind.
4. Choose what is right for kids.
In the 4th lesson, Ms. Krauss references “The Tribe”. Our worry is that we don’t have enough members of The Tribe who can carry us into the coming years.
Grant Wiggins left a huge imprint in education and will be greatly missed.
In his absence, how can you use these 4 lessons to be part of The Tribe?
