ABSTRACT

The Life-Long Learning Laboratory (L4) is a concept created for the discussion of topics for which there are no black or white answers, literally. Such discussions can take place wherever those with a growth mindset are interested in learning about and resolving issues in our society. Depending on how much time we have to create it, L4 could be staged in any area where we gather to discuss issues that are on a clipboard, written on paper that are then dropped in a discussion box, or an actual cyber space. The author also envision subspaces within L4 for categories of issues, such as Curriculum, Pedagogy, Assessment, Racism, Equity, and so on. When education inequality becomes a subject for public discussion, there's a strong inclination to suppose that inequality is restricted to minority and low-income children.
