Brain Calisthenics Help Break Down Abstract Ideas, Researchers Say - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • For years school curriculums have emphasized top-down instruction, especially for topics like math and science. Learn the rules first — the theorems, the order of operations, Newton’s laws — then make a run at the problem list at the end of the chapter. Yet recent research has found that true experts have something at least as valuable as a mastery of the rules: gut instinct, an instantaneous grasp of the type of problem they’re up against. Like the ballplayer who can “read” pitches early, or the chess master who “sees” the best move, they’ve developed a great eye.
  • Now, a small group of cognitive scientists is arguing that schools and students could take far more advantage of this same bottom-up ability, called perceptual learning

Why Schools Must Move Beyond One-to-One Computing | November Learning - 1 views

  • Perhaps the weakest area of the typical one-to-one computing plan is the complete absence of leadership development for the administrative team—that is, learning how to manage the transition from a learning ecology where paper is the dominant technology for storing and retrieving information, to a world that is all digital, all the time. Leaders must be given the training to: Craft a clear vision of connecting all students to the world’s learning resources. Model the actions and behaviors they wish to see in their schools. Support the design of an ongoing and embedded staff development program that focuses on pedagogy as much as technology. Move in to the role of systems analyst to ensure that digital literacy is aligned with standards. Ensure that technology is seen not as another initiative, but as integral to curriculum.

Getting Schools Ready for the World - Educational Leadership - 0 views

  • 1. Articulate the Abilities Needed To begin, schools need to clearly articulate the abilities that they need to develop in students. For example, the Albemarle, Virginia, School District has identified a dozen "Lifelong Learner Competencies" that are the focus of practice in the classroom. They include things like ▪ Gather, organize, and analyze data; evaluate processes and products; and draw conclusions. ▪ Think analytically, critically, and creatively to pursue new ideas, acquire new knowledge, and make decisions. ▪ Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve new and increasingly complex problems. ▪ Participate fully in civic life, and act on democratic ideals within the context of community and global interdependence. ▪ Apply habits of mind and metacognitive strategies to plan, monitor, and evaluate one's own work.
