More quotes by Ken Robinson
Being in your element is not only about aptitude, it's about passion: it is about loving what you do...tapping into your natural energy and your most authentic self.
Ken Robinson
The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak when you’re present in the current moment when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing when you are fully alive.
Ken Robinson
There are three (3) principles on which human life flourishes, and they are contradicted by the culture of education under which most teachers have to labor and most students have to endure.
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
Very many people go through their whole lives having no real sense of what their talents may be, or if they have any to speak of.
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
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
You can't just give someone a creativity injection. You have to create an environment for curiosity and a way to encourage people and get the best out of them.
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
Never underestimate the vital importance of finding early in life the work that for you is play.
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
What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world, what you do for others lives on forever.
Ken Robinson
There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why?
Ken Robinson
Private imaginings may have no outcomes in the world at all. Creativity does. Being creative involves doing something.
Ken Robinson
The real role of leadership in education ... is not and should not be command and control. The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility.
Ken Robinson
What you're doing now, or have done in the past, need not determine what you can do next and in the future.
Ken Robinson
Education doesn't need to be reformed- it needs to be transformed.
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
Imagination is the source of all human achievement.
Ken Robinson
Too many people never connect with their true talents and therefore don't know what they are capable of achieving.
