Have you ever seen Blue Man Group perform? If not, watch Blue Man Group – Part 01 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., a ten-minute video that showcases the group’s unique, creative talent. Something you might not know about the Blue Man Group is that the members have created a school specifically designed to encourage and cultivate the creative spirit in children. Blue School is an educational environment that applies the principles described by Ken Robinson (and others) to the design and operation of a school. Watch The Blue School (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., a short three-minute video that provides an overview of the school and its mission.
Blue School actively supports the learning of 21st-century skills. When carefully examining the instructional experiences that help students learn and apply 21st-century skills, you might realize that culturally relevant pedagogy is often a natural byproduct of such approaches. This discussion is designed to provide you with further practice in analyzing learning situations to better understand how culturally relevant pedagogy, learning 21st-century skills, and creativity naturally form a triangle of support:
