More quotes by Ken Robinson
Our task is to educate their (our students) whole being so they can face the future. We may not see the future, but they will and our job is to help them make something of it.
Ken Robinson
If you're afraid to be wrong you'll never do anything creative.
Ken Robinson
Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects: at the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts.
Ken Robinson
Finding your element is essential to your wellbeing and ultimate success and, by implication to the health of our organisations and the effectiveness of our educational systems
Ken Robinson
Governments decide they know best and they're going to tell you what to do. The trouble is that education doesn't go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings. It happens in classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students. And if you remove their discretion, it stops working.
Ken Robinson
The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.
Ken Robinson
To be creative you actually have to do something.
Ken Robinson
Teaching for creativity aims to encourage self-confidence, independence of mind, and the capacity to think for oneself.
Ken Robinson
The dropout crisis is just the tip of an iceberg. What it doesn't count are all the kids who are in school but being disengaged from it, who don't enjoy it, who don't get any real benefit from it.
Ken Robinson
School systems should base their curriculum not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of disciplines... which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculum that is interdisciplinary.
Ken Robinson
Research indicates that, as long as we keep using our brains in an active way, we continue to build neural pathways as we get older. This gives us not only the ongoing potential for creative thought, but also an additional incentive for continuing to stretch ourselves.
Ken Robinson
All of our existing ideas have creative possibilities.
Ken Robinson
If you sit kids down, hour after hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget. Children are not, for the most part, suffering from a psychological condition, they're suffering from childhood.
Ken Robinson
Sometimes getting away from school is the best thing that can happen to a great mind.
Ken Robinson
Very often, organizations are inflexible because there is too little communication between functions they are too segregated.
Ken Robinson
Human life is inherently creative. It's why we all have different résumés. … It's why human culture is so interesting and diverse and dynamic.
Ken Robinson
Imagination is the primary gift of human consciousness.
Ken Robinson
You can't be a creative thinker if you're not stimulating your mind, just as you can't be an Olympic athlete if you don't train regularly.
Ken Robinson
Life is not linear, it is organic. We create our lives symbiotically as we explore our talents in relation to the circumstances they help create for us
Ken Robinson
I believe this passionately: that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out if it.
Ken Robinson
