"The Maker Rubric is a simple way to assess the progress and growth of a student maker. This rubric was specifically developed to measure any maker project they complete, whether its 3D printing, claymation, soldering, sewing, puppetry… whatever. It is also a way to, if necessary (dependent on how your school system values grades) assign a numerical percentage to a maker project."
How arts practices can be the foundation of teaching and learning - MindShift - 0 views

"Arts education is often an afterthought in schools, but Erica Rosenfeld Halverson, Professor and Chair of the Department of Curriculum & Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, thinks we've got it all wrong. In her new book, "How the Arts Can Save Education: Transforming Teaching, Learning and Instruction," Halverson argues not only do the arts belong in schools, but the core tenets of arts learning belong in every classroom. Education should use the arts-and especially the process of how artists create their work-as a blueprint to re-make more effective learning. "

The idea of using personalized/customized education is a tremendous capacity we have. It takes thinking beyond the traditional school system. There is no ideal situation where one school works for every child. Technology can personalize education in a way we never could have done before

"Makerspaces are a really hot commodity in schools and the focus of a lot of the conversation that surrounds improving learning spaces. That's exciting, and an opportunity to provide new spaces that add capability for students and teachers is always a good thing. So, given this interest, what are some design questions to consider when thinking of adding a space that has maker capabilities? Here are my top five which focus on the design of such a space:"

Schools plan curriculum overhaul - Parentcentral.ca - 6 views
-
A special advisory group is expected to propose a new blueprint by February, based on such input as a tough-talking missive from the Toronto District School Board that called the curriculum "a series of overly robust subject-based documents which are disconnected, overwhelming and full of content reflective of 20th century knowledge. "The curriculum does not engage students within their own realities, nor does it integrate the skills society hopes to see in a 21st-century learner," said the recent submission by a group of principals, teachers, superintendents and trustees.

Karen Grose, the board's system superintendent, said it no longer makes sense to try to cram piles of facts into young minds.
-
Our kids live in a world where they are immersed in content through things like Twitter and Google, so we don't want them memorizing facts they can access easily, but we want them to think about how to apply that knowledge, and how it affects how they live as citizens and workers," said Grose

Rethinking the Library Media Center | K-12 Blueprint - 4 views

"When Jennifer Lanier began working as a media specialist at Summit Parkway Middle School in South Carolina's Richland School District Two, the school library looked like one most of us remember from our own school days. "There were large heavy tables and chairs with shelves lining all walls," she says. "It was a very fixed space." After a period of intensive research, she was ready to make some major changes. "My library is now split into two main sections," Lanier explains, "with the circulation desk as the dividing point. I focused on renovating the back half first. This would become the Creative Commons area. I removed the shelves from the corner, purchased six tall mobile tables, a few stools, six white boards, and twenty beanbag cubes." The idea, Lanier explains, was not to set up the tables, stools and cubes ahead of time but, rather, to leave the furniture out of the way and let users (both students and staff members) grab it and reconfigure the space to meet their needs. "The arrangement of the space does not dictate the way collaboration is carried out; instead the collaboration can freely flow in the direction it takes. Users can gather around on the cubes to discuss an idea. They can break out to a project table and visualize it on a white board. The simple act of moving allows the brain to be more creative." "
