This article does a good job of presenting information in very understandable terms. It will help those who aren't directly involved in education to have a better understanding of all the jargon that they are hearing about in the news. I think the questions posed in the frequently asked question section are excellent and will give the general public a better understanding of what is happening in the educational world in Iowa. I can see this as part of our district communiqué or part of our superintendent's column. Valuable find.

While Kay doesn't address the Common Core specifically, he does address the changes that need to occur for schools to become viable in the 21st Century. He specifically refers to the 4 Cs, which are found in 21C Skills/Standards. Creativity, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Communication. Be committed to the 3 Rs and the 4Cs. Good article of reform-minded individuals. Susie P

I think this is where Becky and I think standards-based reporting comes in. Get rid of the "mile wide and inch deep" mentality (at least in math...).

The ICC is definitely working hard to get us where we need to go. We need to get our staff, school board, and community to understand that doing nothing is not an option. -
We also need to be very supportive of each other during this process. It will definitely be a change for many (most?) teachers. We need to celebrate our successes and build upon them. We also need to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it when things do not turn out how we hoped/planned. -
The change can be the toughest part, sometimes it is just a different way of doing things can make the biggest impact. -
I know I should be more positive, but I am still not sold on it. I don't have the answer,and agree we need to do something, but I don't know if this is it. Time will tell.

The Core 21st century standards are imperative skills that students need to experience and practice. Every teacher is responsible for making the changes necessary so that we can meet the needs of workers/society/families/businesses currently in place and in the future.

We have to work harder on these skills to remain competitive.

With the research that shows the importance of building student creativity, it is concerning to see so many districts eliminating or de-funding arts programs. -
While watching the video, I had kind of an a-ha moment (many of you have probably reached this point years ago). I imagined the schools of long ago -- think one room prairie school houses. For many kids this was the only place they would see books or be exposed to anything beyond merely existing. At some point, school and home began switching places. As stated in the video, without allowing the new available technology into the classroom and teaching them how to manage it, school will become a one room schoolhouse and home will be the place they can explore the world and expand their intellect. What we need to work for is a seamless meshing of the two. They come to school to get inspired and motivated to continue learning on their own time.
21st Century Technology Literacy - 1 views

One of the things I notice is the use of the generic terms. Sometimes my staff gets so caught up in the "tools", ie specific software, they over look the big picture. -
With technology the 'tools' seem to change so quickly - that is where 'looking at the big picture', 'being willing to adapt to new changes, and 'the process of learning about technology' becomes important.
-
-
Collaborate with peers, experts, and others using interactive technology
-
I think currently the students could help the teachers with this more than we can help them.
-
-
-
I am not sure that we currently have anyone on staff that is a master of all of these essential concepts. I see a lot of Professional Development needed in this area.
-
-
Some times we forget that technology items - computers, overhead, SmartBoard - are all tools to help us help our students. There is a whole new realm of literacy as mentioned, technology literacy, for both teachers and students. One overarching literacy principle is how to decide which tool to use when and what skills are needed to carry out the work. - ...1 more comment...

I like this vision that we are striving for. Today's students need technology knowlege and skills. All students will be able to make individual contributions if we keep this goal. Tehnology has changed the way we work today and how we have our relationships.
-
I totally agree. We always need to be looking at the big picture because the tools in our tool box change so often.

This is a great idea! How much of my class time is spent with students telling me "I forgot my book" or "I had pizza last night" or other things that may be interesting, but not relevant to what we need to do!
-
-
I like to say, "let's talk about it later..." It gives students a chance to cool down and me a chance to think about it...as well as keeps the class moving forward.

In schoolhouse lingo, I could only declare teachers and students 'absent' from the board of P21. And until that absence is rectified, the board will only symbolize the top-down old-fashioned 20th century style of management that's gotten us into so many of the problems that as a nation we currently face.
-
I don't know a ton abou P21, but student centeredness is a facet of Iowa Core, and it should be for all of education in the 21st Century.

building collaborative partnerships between families, communities, and educators independent of any proprietary business interests.
-
Collaboration is so key to the world our students will grow up in. I feel there is a mentality that collaboration = cheating with the kids I've learned with (and when I was in high school). It will be important to change the connotation of the word.

The first barrier is even having the option to test out of units in the first place.

I might substitute the word "time" where Evan writes "effort"
-
To a large extent, time is a function of effort. Those things we deem worthy of our effort seem to find plenty of time to get done.
-
It's amazing how we find time to do things we like to do. A readjustment of priorities by any teacher is never a bad thing.
-
-
Even brings up a few good points about core learning and holding students back who already get it.
