Printable version of the "Life on Minimum Wage" game. "The goals of this game are up to you. The first person to reach all of their goals wins (or do they?). In order to reach your goals you must work hard. By working hard and being careful with your money, you can reach your goals. Rules: 1. You must identify your goals before the game begins. Everyone needs at least five goals. 2. Everyone will be randomly assigned to a job that pays minimum wage. 3. In order to earn money you need to complete the requirements on your task card. When you complete those requirements you will be paid. 4. You can work more than one job, but you have to complete all of the requirements of your assigned job first. 5. You can not work any more than 39.9 hours at any one job. 6. You must pay all of your bills including Taxes, Food & Beverages, Rent, Utilities, and "surprise bills" before spending your money on any of your goal items. 7. You cannot steal money. If you steal you will be sent to jail and disqualified from the game."

The Reflective Principal: A Taxonomy of Reflection (Part IV) Reflection can be a challenging endeavor. It's not something that's fostered in school - typically someone else tells you how you're doing! Principals (and instructional leaders) are often so caught up in the meeting the demands of the day, that they rarely have the luxury to muse on how things went. Self-assessment is clouded by the need to meet competing demands from multiple stakeholders. In an effort to help schools become more reflective learning environments, I've developed this "Taxonomy of Reflection" - modeled on Bloom's approach. It's posted in four installments: 1. A Taxonomy of Reflection 2. The Reflective Student 3. The Reflective Teacher 4. The Reflective Principal It's very much a work in progress, and I invite your comments and suggestions. I'm especially interested in whether you think the parallel construction to Bloom holds up through each of the three examples - student, teacher, and principal. I think we have something to learn from each perspective. 4. The Reflective Principal Each level of reflection is structured to parallel Bloom's taxonomy. (See installment 1 for more on the model) Assume that a principal (or instructional leader) looked back on an initiative (or program, decision, project, etc) they have just implemented. What sample questions might they ask themselves as they move from lower to higher order reflection? (Note: I'm not suggesting that all questions are asked after every initiative - feel free to pick a few that work for you.) Bloom's Remembering : What did I do? Principal Reflection: What role did I play in implementing this program? What role did others play? What steps did I take? Is the program now operational and being implemented? Was it completed on time? Are assessment measures in place? Bloom's Understanding: What was

This presentation discusses a series of  financial lab exercises that demonstrate to students that finance theory has real value in  the business world, thus linking "abstract" course content to the real world. The  exercises align with Bloom's Taxonomy, starting with acquisition of knowledge goals and  moving toward the development of higher level critical thinking goals.

" Ready by 21 is the Forum's signature initiative based on decades of experience working with state and local leaders. It is a set of innovative strategies that helps communities and states improve the odds that all children and youth will be ready for college, work and life. Ready by 21 provides clear standards to achieve collective impact, tools and solutions to help leaders make progress, and ways to measure and track success along the way. Specifically, Ready by 21 helps leaders build broader partnerships, set bigger goals, collect and use better data, and take bolder actions. A growing number of communities and states are using these strategies to change the way they do business."

"Our number one goal at GrantsAlert.com is to make life a little easier for those who devote their time to searching for education grants and identifying new funding opportunities for their organizations, schools, districts, consortia and state education agencies."

The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below. INCLUDES: Videso examples from actual classrooms.
