Communication is the key. Individuals who are most able to communicate in a particular situation succeed. As a societal philosophy, this position may seem correct. Social constructs are quite difficult to establish when people are not able to talk to each other. This reflection, however, is firmly linked to a fairly broad hypothesis. It must be assumed that the people who communicate best actually bring something important to a speech. In other words, strong communicators should be equated with the people who have the best ideas. We know this assumption is false. The people who understand a topic best are usually not the best at communicating it. Interestingly, we realize that there are several reasons for this fact. Linguistic differences among people in social situations account for enormous communication problems between people. Learning disabilities are also responsible for huge communication problems. Each group of civilized people must therefore decide what matters most to them. Is this communication skill the most important? Or is creating the best ideas more important? For my part, I place greater value on ideas. This position is the result of my personal belief that the best ideas come from real learning. Most importantly, I recognize that this position requires me, as an educator, to support the transformation of educational practices in two ways. Above all, teaching must be organized to move students from a life in which they consume information to an existence in which they produce new thoughts. Next, teaching must support each student's ability to communicate with increasingly large audiences. These transformation methods clearly align with middle of paper......information to produce new knowledge. In short, these individuals understood the information better because they were able to use it. And this fact reinforced their confidence in their expertise on the subject. They just weren't able to communicate it. As Richard Elmore said, "It's difficult for people to collaborate when they don't have common experience or language." It is not practical in today's cosmopolitan communities to expect people to unite around a single language. But we all unite around the experience of understanding something well but being misunderstood when we try to explain it. As a cohort, we could transform American education if we can convince our fellow citizens that by using differentiation as an educational strategy, we can help them find their voice and help them help their children find their voice as well..
