In The Stigma of Genius: Einstein, Consciousness and Critical
Education, we muse over ways in which to be, to become and to
recognize uniqueness and different paths to genius. Understanding
there is no prescribed procedure, we determine multiple actions,
means and measures with which we recognize and teach to genius, we
look at Einstein's life and knowledges to connect our pedagogies
and students. Today's schools often exemplify an inability to
stimulate and encourage students to find passion, goals and reasons
to be educated. Many public school students do not succeed, they
are disengaged, discouraged, and failing. Teachers are exhausted
and overworked and lack respect and administrative support in
districts controlled by local and national politics. Using Einstein
as an example, but also a metaphor for educators, The Stigma of
Genius is straight talk about the needs for
schools/teachers/administrators/students to become critically and
contextually aware. We argue for an education which is conscious of
students' needs and the nuances within each school and each
classroom. Discussing cognition, classes, urban education and
diversity, we have attempted to circle back to Einstein and
understand ways to support and encourage today's geniuses.
