Something during the conversation in class yesterday made me think of a question that time did not permit me to ask. We were speaking of growth and the assumption that growth is one of the goal of education. Perhaps there is an easy answer to this which I am overlooking, but here goes:
To what extent does transformation imply growth?
Does transformation always cause us to grow? Perhaps not, but if transformation is on the same level playing field with growth, which one takes more precedence? Which should we be aiming for? Both and just hope that it works out?

These are interesting terms. My school has beautifully printed posters of our motto of "Information, Formation, Transformation" that are to be posted in all classrooms. The words are given a brief mention during new teacher orientation, but then not really discussed after that. I do like the motto, but I would like to dig deep into what these terms mean in a daily setting. Wish we had more class time here to dialog about more issues, words, thoughts, etc.
It is horrible that time has to be a factor in our understanding...lets talk about this in Lee Higgins on Monday
