What's more, I hadn't heard of the phrase T-shaped people either, prior to reading your post. Yet, I love the concept. The very duality strikes to the heart of my notion of what a good education should provide students, and certainly what I endeavor to do in my classes. This notion that I see in some form or another that schools should be all skills building seems to me profoundly myopic. Without a breadth of knowledge skills that students might learn have no context, nor is the flexibility of application of a particular skill as obvious. We educators have to as much as we can to incorporate both components of the T. Thanks for the post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
