The assigned video, Most Likely to Succeed, was incredibly inspiring, and invoked some passionate conversations in class. I really enjoyed the concept of teaching children relevant skills for the modern world. Like many of us know, a degree does not equal a career when we graduate these days, and the competencies required in the workplace do not always match up with one’s education.

I think the conversation around education that goes into depth versus breadth is so interesting, as it seems more beneficial to gain concrete skills that are relevant even if you then do not cover as much material, and yet I can understand the fear that surrounds the unknown. It will be interesting to see how education changes in the coming years, and the innovative strategies that are used to keep up with our technologically advancing world. This video left me feeling energized in regards to all the possibilities there are for future educators, but also overwhelmed at the ever-changing expectations placed upon educators to help prepare the next generation of learners to enter the workforce.
