Assignment #1, Week 9

What experiences would I like children of the world to have as they grow up?
What is the most important thing for a child?
What are the responsibilities of the adult world?

Growing up today is quite different from when I grew up, the world seems to change faster now then it did in the 80's. This means that children of today need to have knowledge that doesn't loose its value as the world around changes, and maybe that's why schools today focus more and more on "lifelong learning". Children of today need to learn how to learn, and how to keep up with the changes in technology, media, all-day life and in their schoolsystem as well.

Our responsibilities as adults is to strengthen childrens selfesteem and to support their individual development, their path towards learning about "lifelong learning". In many ways I see my future job as a supporting job, where I must allow my pupils to take responsibility of their own work, at the same time as I teach them, or guide them so that they feel secure taking that responsibility.

Experiences I would like every child to have with them when they graduate from elementary school, is that of security, selfesteem and strategies for how they can learn things on their own, and together with others. Furthermore I hope that all children get to experience the feeling of beeing unique, safe and feeling the need, the urge to learn more, because as the world keeps changing, so does the need for knowledge!
