As an assignment for my EdTech class, we were asked to watch the documentary “Most Likely to Succeed”. I thought this documentary was very eye opening in regards to how our education system operates.  Although the documentary was about the US educational system, I still learned a lot. The main point that I took away from the video was that regardless of the major changes within our society, the education system in the US has remained mostly unchanged. After I really thought about this fact for a minute, I realized how it also holds true for the Canadian educational system.  As teachers we need to re-think the way a class is taught. Not all students will think and learn the same way; hence, when I become a teacher I will ensure that I use other strategies, including student inquiry, to bring my students the most well rounded learning experience possible.

Here is a link to the documentary Most Likely to Succeed:
