Why do we send our children to school? Is it to better their chance of having high-paying job in the future? To give them a legacy? To fulfill our obligation to them as parents? Personally, I just want to equip my son with the values, knowledge, and skills so that he could become a functional member of our society. At the same time, I want him to appreciate how wonderful life is so that he would want to learn more about it, to experience it to the fullest, and to explore the possibilities it presents.
The video that I want to share with you is titled "Above and Beyond." Uploaded on July 27, 2011 and created through the collaboration of members of Partnership for 21st Century Skills and the talented folks at FableVision, it shows what happens when communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity take center stage in schools and how it transforms learning opportunities for kids.
Above and Beyond has been adapted into a children's book called "Going Places." Written by Paul Reynolds and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds, the book was published by Antheneum Books for Young Readers in 2014.
