developing a story . once when the teacher took the student for trek
Answers
SECD creates new arenas for success, for valued expression, for sharing feelings, and for a renewed sense of purpose beyond test scores. Educators know that most standardized tests do not adequately reflect their students' true capabilities. Students are more than their scores.
Taking a Stand
The Kobayashi Maru, the lesson from Star Trek, is that social, emotional, character, and intellectual development and competence are inextricably interconnected.
It is a reminder, a call to action, not a revelation. Theodore Roosevelt said that educating someone in mind and not in morals was creating a menace to society; Martin Luther King, Jr. said that intelligence plus character is the goal of true education.
The Captain Kirks of education must stop doubling down on traditional academic instructional time and test preparation and instead devote instructional time to social-emotional and character development and its integration throughout the school day. The highest obligation of educators is to prepare students for the future life challenges they will face in college and in their careers, and to prepare them for a life of civic responsibility and participation.
Each day, educators, particularly those of high-risk children of color, face their own Kobayashi Maru. Taking the traditional path is no longer an ethically defensible choice. It is time to boldly go where too few educators have gone before.
