This is dated from early September, though I've only just seen it Benjamin Doxdator here offers a critical, even brutal, review of Innovate Inside the Box by George Couros and Katie Novak. The criticisms are wide-ranging, from the book's failure to address "the radical necessity to decolonize the curriculum" to its misinterpretation of Dweck's "growth mindset" to its placement within the Dave Burgess Consulting (DBC) network. But really, what this review gets to is "the tension between reconfiguring ourselves and reconfiguring systems ... or troubles which occur within the character of the individual, and issues which concern the institutions of an historical society as a whole." I want to have it both ways: not only to embrace and extend personal agency to the greatest degree possible, but also to redress systemic and historical wrongs in our institutions that have suppressed entire classes of people. Anyhow, in this review you'll find a lush selection of arguments and resources which by themselves make this post worth your time.
