Ken Robinson
Imagination is the primary gift of human consciousness.
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
Sometimes getting away from school is the best thing that can happen to a great mind.
Ken Robinson
My contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.
Ken Robinson
Teaching is a creative profession, not a delivery system. Great teachers do [pass on information], but what great teachers also do is mentor, stimulate, provoke, engage.
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
Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value - more often than not, comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things
Ken Robinson
Education doesn't need to be reformed- it needs to be transformed.
