Dịch bài đọc:
Giáo viên của thế kỷ 21 cần phải là người hướng dẫn hoặc cố vấn cho học sinh của mình, chứ không phải là những người hiền triết có thể cung cấp cho họ tất cả những gì họ cần. Ngày nay, với quá nhiều nguồn tài nguyên các loại, trẻ em luôn biết nhiều hơn giáo viên về các chủ đề khác nhau, đi trước công nghệ. Giáo viên cần được trao quyền làm người hướng dẫn cho việc học, để họ có thể lân lượt trao quyền cho học sinh của họ.
Sự thay đổi này là một tin tuyệt vời đối với giáo viên. Thay vì cố gắng cung cấp cho trẻ tất cả thông tin trong những lĩnh vực mà các em biết rất ít, giáo viên có thể hỗ trợ học sinh khi các em tự mình bước vào các lĩnh vực khác nhau. Đó là chuẩn bị cho họ vượt xa hơn thế hệ trước, đảm bảo họ có những kỹ năng để làm điều đó, và hỗ trợ họ trên đường đi.
Do đó, giáo viên cần phải có tư tưởng tiến bộ, ham hiểu biết và linh hoạt. Họ phải là người học: học các phương pháp giảng dạy mới, và học cùng với học sinh của họ. Đơn giản chỉ cần đặt câu hỏi như "Học sinh của tôi sẽ cần sau hàng chục năm từ bây giờ?" Hoặc "Làm cách nào tôi có thể cho chúng những kỹ năng đó?" có thể thay đổi tư duy của giáo viên, làm cho họ trở thành lãnh đạo và mang lại những thay đổi trong lớp học, trường học và cộng đồng.
