Authentic learning is not happening in many schools. So, real learning, usable real-life learning is not happening. What’s the deal? Huge problem! But what makes it so wicked? How come there is not quick solution? Let’s ditch standardized testing and make all learning authentic!

In this presentation I demonstrate why this is such a wicked problem, what solutions could be posed, and how these have their problems. The presentation includes links to helpful articles if you care to learn more.
