More Serendipity

The Spring issue of “American Educator” showed up in my mailbox today. There must be something in the water. In response to Dr. Wolff’s lecture (links to a QuickTime .mov – runs about an hour), I was preparing a rather lengthy rant entitled “The Necessity of a Liberal Education” when I saw two related articles occupying a sizable chunk of the magazine:

“The Most Daring Education Reform of All” by Diana Senechal (links to a .pdf)

“21st Century Skills” by Andrew J. Rotherham and Daniel T. Willingham (links to a .pdf)

Hmmmm. I’ve never really considered myself to be at or near the cutting edge of anything, especially when it comes to hot educational issues, so it must be a combination of the Luck o’ the Irish and the corned beef and cabbage I had for St. Patrick’s Day. Perhaps that’s my cue to go buy a lottery ticket. Probably not.
