  • 14 things that are obsolete in 21st century schools
  • 1. Computer Rooms

      True but classroom teachers should not be deprived of this special when they have a free period for planning, PD, contacting parents. COWS with a specials tchr to reinforce classroom instruction + classroom integration might work better.
  • 2. Isolated classrooms

      Parents are not welcome in child's school much less classroom for 'security' reasons. This must be dealt with 1st.

      My biggest beef - IT ppl with no educational degrees making decisions on which software teachers will use.
  • 4. Banning phones and tablets

      These are routinely banned by administrations - they have not seen the every student response without district paying one red cent - that might change minds.
  • 3. Schools that don’t have WiFi

      PUBLIC WiFi - not just teacher connections but ALL devices should be able to go online.
  • 7. Schools that don’t have Facebook or Twitter

      Love communicating with grandson's superintendent on Twitter - I know before the 'official' notification sources when school's are closed. Wish principal and teacher had Twitter too OR let me into the school's Edmodo.
  • 8. Unhealthy cafeteria food

      Many schools are doing much better - at least in MD.
  • 13. One-Professional development-workshop-fits-all
  • 9. Starting school at 8 o’clock for teenagers
  • Research has shown over and over again that teenagers do better and feel better in schools that start later.
  • 10. Buying poster-, website- and pamphlet design for the school
  • 11. Traditional libraries
  • Libraries that only contain books and chess tables are obsolete.

      I have a beef with this blanket statement. Libraries with books ARE invaluable for primary students. Once they are hooked on reading, then introduce digital reading. Libraries could have free hot beverages though....
  • 12. All students get the same
  • 6. Teachers that don’t share what they do
    • Lisa Durff

      Collaborative PD and PLN's are the wave of the future.
  • 14. Standardized tests to measure the quality of education

  • That means students in PBL classrooms are spending more time learning about important content through experiences that emphasize critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication

      My research question (for course project) is does PBL in high school influence college/university enrollment rates?
