What are the hidden credentials of your students?
I liked the Peter Smith quote (page 147): "Educators and employers tend to ignore the immense amount of learning that almost everyone does outside of school and college. This is often a personal tragedy, and it prevents our society from benefitting from the 'hidden credentials' which Americans could be contrinuting to business and social life. We are blighting lives and hobbling our progress by failing to find ways to discern, harness, and reward these 'hidden credentials.'"
Do you agree? And if so, what do we do about it?
