Curator - from the latin word cūrāre meaning "to care"
Getting away from the traps of a traditional comprehensive high school is a difficult task. Eliminating bell schedules, desegregating subjects, shifting to small schools, and transitioning from lecture to facilitator.
Curator is a word I have seen being used in education and I like the way it applies to what learning could be. A teacher as a curator gives me an image of an expert planner and designer for each INDIVIDUAL student. In Class Disruption by Clayton Christensen talks about teachers curating a playlist of learning experiences tailored to individual learning styles and I wonder if the technology has caught up yet?
