Devlin's Angle: The difference between teaching and instruction - 0 views

devlin teaching learning instruction

shared by Chris Harrow on 09 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • I quickly figured out how to play that game successfully – success in that case being measured by my being able to solve under exam conditions, problems like the ones the teacher had shown us and we had practiced in class and done for homework.
  • In fact, you can’t separate real teaching from learning. They are simply two perspectives of the same human interactive process.
  • For whereas technology can provide instruction and can provide teachers and students with resources to assist them, what is cannot do on its own is teach them.

  • I would like to go back some day when the system finally figures out how lucky it is that people are willing to teach.
  • I cannot ignore that I am leaving a profession I love dearly. Everyone in my family has been part of public education. I viewed it as a calling. I guess now the call has changed its tune.
  • I have decided to quit teaching. Maybe not forever, but definitely for a year or two. This is not a decision I came to lightly, and I did not feel triumphant in it at all. To be frank, I had never felt more defeated in my life.

  • I thought schools were about learning, but it’s become more about numbers and appearances than learning. When it reached the point that I dreaded getting up and going to work in the morning, it was time to leave. Teaching is not a job you can do well if you don’t love it.

    MIAMI — In a distressed neighborhood north of Miami's gleaming downtown, a group of enthusiastic but inexperienced instructors from Teach for America is trying to make progress where more veteran teachers have had difficulty: raising students' reading and math scores.

reading testing elementary standardized

shared by Chris Harrow on 22 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • By asking young students to spend time taking tests like this we are doing them a double disservice: first, by inflicting on them such mediocre literature, and second, by training them to read not for pleasure but to discover a predetermined answer to a (let’s not mince words) stupid question.
  • Literary texts, whether by A.A. Milne or Leo Tolstoy, always admit multiple interpretations — and the greater the work, the more robust the tension among these readings, and the graver the loss in trying to reduce the work to a single idea.
  • Chris Harrow on 22 Jan 12
     
    While focused on teaching reading to elementary students, the points raised here apply also to mathematics teaching ... reducing everything to a single way and a single answer is stifling, minimizing, and counterproductive.

    In 1990, after seven years of teaching at Harvard, Eric Mazur, now Balkanski professor of physics and applied physics, was delivering clear, polished lectures and demonstrations and getting high student evaluations for his introductory Physics 11 course, populated mainly by premed and engineering students who were successfully solving complicated problems. Then he discovered that his success as a teacher "was a complete illusion, a house of cards." THIS IS A MUST READ ARTICLE!

professional Development journalism social media

shared by Chris Harrow on 20 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • The hard part of professional journalism going forward is writing about what hasn't been written about, directing attention where it hasn't been, and saying something new.
  • Chris Harrow on 20 Dec 11
     
    The great challenge for journalists is also the challenge for educators. We do need to look for the new ways to learn and share and reach each of our students. We cannot afford to teach the same old stuff in the same old way and expect that to be sufficient for our new students in this new time. Thanks to Bo A. for the lead to this article.

    While this research is interesting and may have something to say to all educators, I can't imagine teaching without the art of "asking good questions." Good questions ignite critical thinking on the part of students.

Good Teaching

    While watching a brilliant teacher in action, you too may have wondered: "What is it that makes them excellent?" Do we, as an educational community actually realise what makes a true teacher? Is it purely down to perfect pedagogy, rigorous planning and assessing, diligent resource making and clever behaviour management; or is there something more?

    A spectacular (yet-to-be-named) game for teaching formal logic!
  • Robert Ryshke on 26 Jan 12
     
    Looks like an interesting game. All the information is there so the students need to use the cards to come up with an "answer" to a problem OR construct their own problems. I like this kind of game for learning. Are you familiar with SET. Not the same, but similar idea. Bob
  • Chris Harrow on 26 Jan 12
     
    Absolutely! SET rocks. Lots of possibilities with that. As long as we're posing excellent games, I think Blockus is magnificent!

  • If you'd like to see assessment amount to more than a meaningless exercise in classroom control, if you'd like to see cheating drop and confidence rise, if you'd like to see a higher correlation between the grade you feel a student deserves and the grade on that student's transcript … … take something from this page.

    A collection of truly insightful musings on assessment, whether you teach math or something else.
  • karen anderson on 26 Feb 12
     
    Chris, I definitely think this process for assessment could be utilized in other disciplines quite easily. The idea of student ownership is a huge factor for motivating students. The parent involvement seems to be a positive aspect, too. Thank you so much for keeping us all aware of innovative practices happening in education. Karen Anderson
