Collaboration PLCs

    Do we care enough about allowing time for teachers to collaborate in schools? Granted the emphasis is on teaching students. I get that, but what about the need for teachers to share, exchange, grow in their work, etc. That is harder to accomplish in isolation.

    This goes back to the discussion of creating PLNs and PLNCs. Richard Byrne gave a good presentation on this a while back (http://www.slideshare.net/rbyrnetech/constructing-a-pln-3465767). Robert Jacobs' blog - Education Innovation - has been writing on this topic for years. I still refer back to this 2009 article from time to time. http://educationinnovation.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/07/welcome-to-the-revolution-the-professional-networked-learning-collaborative.html

    Really good 20 minute introduction on E-Portfolio. Examples and clarification of this important work. Using E-Portfolios in secondary school as a way to have a student track his or her progress.

    Add other resources in this group for e-portfolios. I think this is an interesting and exciting area of growth in classroom practice. More authentic forms of assessment.

  • We try to talk to parents about having to sort of make it O.K. for there to be challenge, because that’s where learning happens.”
  • If your premise is that your students are lacking in deep traits like grit and gratitude and self-control, you’re implicitly criticizing the parenting they’ve received — which means you’re implicitly criticizing your employers.
  • Randolph wants his students to succeed, of course — it’s just that he believes that in order to do so, they first need to learn how to fail.

    Lots of folks talk about authentic assessment. The terms seem obvious, but here is a good site by a professor in IL that goes into great detail trying to unravel this topic. Good resource for teachers to stimulate ideas around making assessments more relevant and authentic to students.

    This is a Wikispace devoted to RAFT (Role, Audience, Format, Topic) assignment protocols. If you have never used a RAFT assignment to differentiate instruction, this is worth looking at and exploring. RAFTs are excellent ways to work in student choice and differentiate.
