  • The main findings: The more play a school gives its student body, the greater rewards kids see in their character development, academic achievement, safety, and overall health.
  • According to Vialet, structure is a child's best friend when it comes to play. While kids may have a built-in urge to run around and get dirty, playing with other kids is a social experience, which means it has to be learned.
  • A 2013 study of the Playworks model from Stanford University found it led to 43% less bullying, 20% higher feelings of student safety, 43% more physical activity, and 34% less time transitioning from recess back to the classroom. A number of other studies suggest recess can also lead to better grades in school, regardless of the form it takes.

  • An absence of recess could simply mark the absence of creativity in schools more generally.

  • students who write out their notes on paper actually learn more. 
  • those who wrote out their notes by hand had a stronger conceptual understanding and were more successful in applying and integrating the material than those who used took notes with their laptops.
  • taking notes by hand forces the brain to engage in some heavy “mental lifting,” and these efforts foster comprehension and retention.  By contrast, when typing students can easily produce a written record of the lecture without processing its meaning

  • high verbatim note content was associated with lower retention of the lecture material
  • transcription fails to promote a meaningful understanding or application of the information
  • Because students can use these posted materials to access lecture content with a mere click, there is no need to organize, synthesize or summarize in their own words.
  • those who took longhand notes outperformed laptop participants.  Because longhand notes contain students’ own words and handwriting, they may serve as more effective memory cues by recreating the context (e.g., thought processes, emotions, conclusions) as well as content (e.g., individual facts) from the original learning session.
  • evidence suggests that when college students use laptops, they spend 40% of class time using applications unrelated to coursework, are more likely to fall off task, and are less satisfied with their education
  • even when technology allows us to do more in less time, it does not always foster learning.  Learning involves more than the receipt and the regurgitation of information
  • When it comes to taking notes, students need fewer gigs, more brain power.

PD

shared by Jill Bergeron on 15 May 14 - No Cached
  • few schools provide systematic, long-term, programs to help teachers master their craft. Pre-service training is brief, mentoring is spotty, one-time workshops abound. Independent schools have often made a virtue of giving teachers a classroom and wishing them well—autonomy to the able, too often "sink or swim."
  • The goal must be to provide ongoing professional development that moves an entire faculty forward, consistent with the school's vision and core values.
  • New teachers, whether experienced or not, participate in a three-year program—yes, three years—of thoughtfully scaffolded skills matched to the school's chosen direction for teaching and learning. Some topics reinforce the school's traditional strengths; others reflect the major strains of innovation
