Does this jettisoning of time-honored titles mean that the paperless classroom is also lacking a creator, controller and grader? Is the paperless classroom also a teacherless paradigm? The answer is in some regards, yes. I have removed myself from center stage. I have relinquished the need to control every class. I have stopped seeing work as stagnant…completed and submitted by students and then graded by me. I have let go of my need to pre-plan months at a time, in favor of following the path that unfolds as we learn together. My classes are not, however, teacherless, just less about the teaching and more about the learning. The students know that I am ready and willing to be student to their insights, that they can teach, create, control and even evaluate their own learning. This shift has inspired a true spirit of collaboration, critical thinking, and communication in B304–it has been an amazing semester and has changed the course of my career for good!

Hey, those are three 21st Century skills!

To use the two virtual extensions - the wiki and the ning - create so many avenues for creating, discussing and viewing both instructional tools and student work. It definitely does pave the way for a whole new way of teaching and learning.

Have you read Friedman? I have a little...there's also plenty of push-back on this guy's ideas.

(1) critical thinking and problem solving; (2) collaboration and leadership; (3) agility and adaptability; (4) initiative and entrepreneurialism; (5) effective oral and written communication; (6) accessing and analyzing information; and (7) curiosity and imagination.

I think these are all great...but think back to the '5 essential characteristics' and formative assessment, etc. How will we be able to "assess" these skills? It's tough to assess these soft skills, in my opinion.
-
Yes, these are definitely broad topics. What underlying, assessable skills make up these survival skills?

For those visiting, this online community is right now in the developmental stage. Some of what you see is only there to test the different features of the ning.

Can you give us an update on the Iowa Schools Ning, Evan? Still on track to roll ou at SAI conference in the fall?
-
We've had some setbacks on the Iowa Schools Ning. We'll be talking about online communities and have examples of the current communities in the state at ITEC, but as far as having the whole Ning set up at that point, I'm not sure we'll be there.

Iowa review team recommends new science standards | Iowa Department of Education - 1 views
-
"The review team's recommendation proposes modifying the Next Generation Science Standards for Iowa so that only the performance expectations section is used, rather than the entire standards document. Members said the performance expectations are easier to understand, especially for teachers in subject areas other than science, and allow for more local control because they are broader than other parts of the standards document. The team's recommendation also proposes modifying the Next Generation Science Standards for Iowa by separating them by grade level for kindergarten through 8th grade and organizing the high school standards into a span of grades."

In 2010, legislation defined full implementation of the Iowa Core as "accomplished when the school or district is able to provide evidence that an ongoing process is in place to ensure that each and every student is learning the Iowa Core standards for ELA and Mathematics and the Essential Concepts and Skills of Science, Social Studies and 21st Century Skills.

"If district leaders (administrators, teachers, and the school board) and other educators monitor and increase the degree of alignment among the intended, enacted, and assessed curriculum, then the quality of instruction will improve and student learning and performance will increase."

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...).
