The History and Futures of Education With Matt Bateman
Education as we know it has evolved radically from what it used to be.
We’ve moved from an era of books and lectures to knowledge at the click of a button. This huge paradigm shift also circles around what learners need and want to learn.
In order to understand where we are heading, it's important to see how far we've come. History provides us with deeper insight into the decisions that were made in education in the past.
This understanding shows us how we can learn from our failures and triumphs to redesign education.
Today, we are challenged to think about change.
What does the future hold for the next generation? How can we inspire our learners with interesting and significant knowledge? How can we remain relevant in the digital age? What type of education do we need for a future we can’t predict?
These questions and more are what Dr. Matt Bateman will be delving into.
Dr. Matt Bateman is the Vice President of Pedagogy at Higher Ground Education, where he oversees intellectual and pedagogical oversight across the organization.
Matt earned his bachelor’s degree from Sarah Lawrence College in 2004 and bagged his Ph.D. in Philosophy in 2012 from the University of Pennsylvania. He taught and continued his research at Franklin and Marshall College in the Department of Psychology, on topics ranging from neuroscience to evolutionary theory to philosophy.
He is involved with the development of new programming, such as language immersion and high school. He is also passionate about sharing his knowledge on educational philosophy with researchers and the larger educational community.
In our upcoming inspirEd event, Matt will be discussing with Galileo’s Serj Hunt the past and potential future of our educational landscape.
