Shows how ecological models of change can be applied to education.
Higher education needs to change, and it is already changing as a
consequence of technology and the implementation of tools from
artificial intelligence. There are natural processes of change that
have been happening since the beginning of life on Earth, including
ecological and evolutionary change. This book explores the value of
adapting these processes to education, to show convincingly that
educators have much to learn from paying attention to the emergent
processes of ecology. Through examples that span a scale from
individuals to communities, it provides examples and perspectives that
can help change our thinking and enact practices that can enable all
students to achieve greatness. Rather than directing education toward
specific objectives, ecology shows that we can support students on
unique educational journeys through an emphasis on
student-centeredness, collaborative interactions, and building
communities of people and ideas in the minds of students.
