The empowering future of education | Cory Henwood | TEDxSUU
Are the things we value most in schools designed to empower our students for a successful future or are they based primarily on the nostalgia of our past? Should our focus be to prepare students for state and national standardized tests that assess the knowledge and skills which machines are increasingly automating for us? Or instead, should our focus be to prepare students for life by developing essential skills like communication, collaboration, and creativity as they tackle local issues applicable to them? Cory Henwood, education innovator and founder of @LaunchHS, proposes updates to our traditional educational values to help us avoid this tragic automation of education by inviting us to empower students and teachers as we place them at the center of our designs for a much more relevant and personalized education model. Cory Henwood is the Innovative Teaching and Learning Coordinator at Iron County School District and is the founding designer of Launch High School, a personalized, competency-based school focused on projects with local industry partners. Cory's passion for educational reform and the empowerment of teachers and students has guided his work in both Canada and the US as a principal, instructional coach, consultant, and math teacher. He has high hopes for the future of education and is driven to provide a rich and relevant educational experience tailored for each student, including his four little ones, Skylee(7), Sophee(5), Sydnee(4), and Dawson(2). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I love these approaches to school. Our kids need more focus on people skills, instead of being buried in their phones. This was such a powerful presentation! I'll be following to see where this goes @CoryHenwood
Good work! Way to confront such a hard problem to fix.
All I have to say is YES!
Surprising and encouraging insights here about the value of education, teachers, and life. New insights how automation trends impact education and learning outcomes as well. Bravo!
He's right on the problem and has a good read on the solution

Thanks Tyler, glad I've got partners like you to help tackle these large issues.
Good to see you on here as a fellow educator, Cory. You and your committee have come up with some great ideas. A lot of these ideals are the reason I love being an IB educator. Skills based education is clearly the key, however, public and private sector education are ham-stringed by the requirements of post secondary admission requirements.
Found the school he mentions! Launch High School in Utah!

Awesome presentation, Cory. And great to connect with a fellow Canuck. I love seeing those eight essential skills on which your school district is focusing. Would love to hear more how this is playing out in your district.
