From Bud the Teacher:
So I wonder about cultures of learning that could look more like
cultures of running. Learners are all on the same trail, or at least
similar ones, but we make it down the trail at different speeds, with
different plans for how to get there. And our schools and learning
cultures should be helping us to get better, to improve, without too
often requiring that our success be defined by how the elites in our
culture perform. And I wonder how we can build tools and resources that
can help us to set, track, and achieve our goals more than the goals of
the elites in our midst. As a runner, I’m comparing my today self
against my yesterday self, and aiming for my future self to be in a
better place than the today self I’ve got right now. So long as I move
along a trajectory of improvement, one set both by me and by the folks
organizing the races – plotting the starting and finish lines, making
sure the cars stay out of the course, and ensuring there are plenty of
resources and water stations along the way – then I’m moving towards
success.
