As a AP US History teacher I constantly find myself pitted in a struggle against content memorization versus using 21st century skills within the classroom

  I think this is the one of the challenges we hope to address in this course - do we see the challenge as an opportunity to change what we do, or do we feel like vicitims.

  I agree, it's that cross between covering the material versus really learning it, or in the case of history living it.

College Board recently changed their policy of letting students know what the topic of the DBQ would be, students going into the DBQ had no idea what it would be the day of the test students had to complete a DBQ on the Puritans, a subject last covered in 8th grade. I found myself asking how well students possibly could do on a question like this, a question which was covered before students were even accepted into the honors track
- Randy Ziegenfuss on 07 Jul 10
  
  This is the secrecy that Reeves talks about in the article we read yesterday. I wonder what the Board's rationale is for this decision. Clearly, a bunch of dusty academics feel they need to impose their outdated definition of learning on high school students.

Bring technology to every student, closing the digital divide needs to be a national goal, it can't be a program that waits five years. Forget about immigration, partisan divisions, tax policy, gays in the military, and healthcare, our national needs to make it a priority that by August every student will have access to technology and every teacher will get the training to use that technology effectively within the classroom.

  I am always amazed at how little our country cares about education. We focus too much on reacting to problems instead of attacking root causes. If we developed a world-class education system, we would be able to solve more of our problems, in better time.

  The reaction component is signifcant. I guess that reaction is easier than the problem solving but certainly not as effective.

Develop assessments that test the students ability to create authentic learning experiences that demonstrate their growth as an individual.

  So why don't we do this? THE TRUTH ABOUT TESTING will hopefully shed some light.

  Great challenge. I was thinking after my article review this morning about how this can be achieved in a national way. There must be a way to incorporate a measurement of authentic knowledge into the measurement of our school and student success. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as just creating test questions it would involve other means of data collection

  Nice outline of the challenges we face with developing skills and balancing requirements of assessment. It's our problem. So what will we do about it? Hopefully we'll develop some potential answers.

This is how I was taught and tested so this is how I teach and test
- Kevin Bush on 07 Jul 10
  
  How do we break this cycle? If this is true, then wouldn't it be reasonable to say that the future teachers in our classes would continue this, I mean besides those of us in this class, aren't we just preparing a new wave of teachers to continue following our bad models.

  Good point. When our only references are those based in our own learning experiences how do we get away from that? I guess constant reflection on our own process and close attention to our students.

  Yes, Jen. I think reflection is the key. And hopefully that is what we are doing here. Through reflection, you'll be able to gather some new knowledge to move your own classroom toward better alternatives to test preparation.

How might we meet the needs of the system and the needs of the learners
- Kevin Bush on 07 Jul 10
  
  Great picture. The first thing that came to my mind however was what does this look like at a high school setting where students are competitive or on the other extreme, just going through the motions. How do we bring the enjoyment of learning to the high schools and continue a model of creativity?

Through collaboration, creativity, exploration, and sharing students can be assessed in a real world way.
- Kevin Bush on 07 Jul 10
  
  I think you are right, this is a good summation of your ideas, we need to continue rewarding those who go outside the box of the traditional testing model and recognize the possibilities of engaging students at a new level and making assessment just a brief stop and a progression in a longer journey of learning the 'big ideas'.

  They are also cut and dry, right or wrong, no in between. The assessments I think we will be looking at examine not only what students know but what they don't and see learning as a progression.
