      Are there "penalities" for not doing well on these tests? Can a student be denied graduation? I know this is coming in PA with the Keystone Exams. I also believe remediation (in 12th grade) is a requirment if you are not proficient on the PSSA in 11th grade.

      I would suggest "demonstrates" rather than has. I also think that one of our greatest challenges in schools - teachers, leaders and students - is coming to some common understanding of what these terms mean, especially in the 21st century. For example, our understanding of collaboration is probably all over the board from "works in groups" to uses social networking sites to connect with other experts.

      Does Apple really define this? While they funded the study, I wonder if attaching their name may give the impression that the corporate world is now identifying what we as educators ought to be doing. Maybe...Through research funded by Apple Computer...

      While I agree with this as well, the challenge is how do we prepare teachers to engage in this instruction. Also, as I was reading I kept thinking, this sounds much like differentiated instruction...how do the two fuse together?

  • According to Ronald Doll, curriculum actually refers to all purposeful activity that takes place within the classroom.

      I like Doll's reference to curriculum being inclusive of all purposefl activity in the classroom, as opposed to just the content that is "covered". Purposeful activity, meaningful experiences, all ring strong within quality educational practice...successful implementation seems to be the next desired component.

  • The most desirable skills: work ethic, collaboration, social responsibility, and critical thinking and problem-solving. Employers also see creativity and innovation as being increasingly important in the future.

      Here it is... what our goals are for our students to be successful in life, not just on the high stakes tests. I think that if we are teaching these critical skills that "... the rest will follow" and we will see big gains in student proficiency.

      Collaborative... this is significant,no longer focusing on individual student performance, but the performance of a team, a collaborative group. How do we educate the parents of the 21st century to adapt to this new model?

  • What makes up a productive design team? How do we capitalize on everyone’s skills? In today’s workforce, individuals with various skill sets typically work together in teams on specific projects or challenges. During this team formation stage, it is important to consider roles and responsibilities and discuss the developmental nature of teams.

      This was another aspect that I found crucial in my attempt at collaborative teams and challenge questions this year. The make-up of the teams was very crucial. Careful observation of accountable talk, engagement, and student roles through the use of observation charts helped me group the students in more appropriate groups and still give them some choice as to who they could work with. Heterogeneous vs. homogeneous groups were key. I hope to explore this in more depth through this challenge based model.
