shared by Jill Bergeron on 24 May 16 - No Cached
  • Regardless of problem size, the design thinking process has many opportunities for learning embedded into it, including: how to define a particular problem, understand needs and constraints, brainstorm ideas and possible solutions, and how to gather and incorporate feedback. As students successfully use design thinking to solve challenges, their confidence, creativity and belief in their ability to make a difference will grow.

Building Staff Rapport With Flash Lessons | Edutopia - 0 views

shared by Jill Bergeron on 27 Apr 16 - No Cached
  • Teachers are, by nature, protective of their practice and their space. In this way, even before I enter a teacher's room, I must establish the requisite rapport to garner the invitation. From there, the teacher picks the class, the day, and the time. Then she gives me a sense of what she's doing, has just finished, or will be doing soon. Finally, I show up and get to work.
  • Ultimately, I had no idea if anyone would invite me in. Moreover, I didn't know if the lessons would work once I was invited. What I learned, however, is that only the former matters. Like an educational grandparent, if I show up and the lesson bombs, I get to leave and let the teacher move on without me. But the fact that teachers are willing to give up control of their rooms -- to an administrator -- without so much as a hint about what will happen when I get there, well, that's how I know the flashes are working.
  • For all but one, I admit to having only a Google-search-based knowledge of the content, yet teachers keep inviting me in

  • Too often, administrators leave the classroom and only return with a laptop and a framework. For many of us, leaving the classroom is really only a physical phenomenon because we never really leave. I confess that my flash lessons are motivated, in small part, by my own envy of so many amazing teachers who work in my district. But what I couldn't have counted on was the camaraderie, rapport, and trust that the lessons would create between administrators and teachers.
  • Ultimately, we need to remind ourselves of that immutable fact, to be as human as possible, and to look for, rather than to abandon, our own "flashes."

    This article explains how one administrator built trust with his faculty by teaching a lesson and making the teacher the number one student he called on in the class and used as a volunteer.

Teaching Empathy: Turning a Lesson Plan into a Life Skill | Edutopia - 0 views

shared by Jill Bergeron on 12 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • academic rigor, with its unflinching emphasis on measurable success, seems strangely at odds with emotional intelligence, a soufflé of moods and feelings.
  • Designed around cooperative learning, your lesson plan can actively foster class-wide feelings of cohesiveness, collaboration and interdependence -- without sacrificing instructional time or learning goals.
  • In cooperative learning, students work together, think together and plan together using a variety of group structures designed along an instructional path.

  • Cooperative learning creates what Daniel Goleman calls "cognitive empathy," a mind-to-mind sense of how another person's thinking works.
  • The better we understand others, the better we know them -- pointing toward (among other virtues) greater trust, appreciation and generosity.
  • Dispatching students into "groups" with the hopes they'll become more empathetic carries the same potential for success as trying to hit a dartboard while blindfolded
  • o harness the power of cooperative learning as a tool for building empathy, teachers need a specific strategy, a best practice that works
  • Created in 1971 by psychologist Elliot Aronson (1) to defuse his volatile fifth grade classroom, the jigsaw method (2) has a long track record of successfully reducing classroom conflict and increasing positive educational outcomes. As an empathy builder, it also opens doors of opportunity.

      How jigsaw groups work
  • The fluid movement, flexible groupings and redistribution of responsibility force kids to be more actively engaged in what and how they learn.
  • jigsaw learning flows freely between group members. Familiar roles change, too.
  • Teachers re-outfit themselves as sideline reporters, monitoring, questioning and analyzing the action, while the quickest and slowest students suddenly discover themselves in supporting and leading roles they never quite imagined.
  • Creating points of contact between students who would otherwise not interact delivers a humbling but elevating awareness of the "other."
  • the hard currency is active listening, or the art of thinking about what the other person is saying.
  • And because each student has a purpose (a teaching role) and something valuable (new and necessary information), every learner is regarded as an asset, not a liability

Why Do Teachers Quit? - Liz Riggs - The Atlantic - 0 views

shared by Jill Bergeron on 02 Jan 14 - No Cached
  • Ingersoll extrapolated and then later confirmed that anywhere between 40 and 50 percent of teachers will leave the classroom within their first five years
  • ut, turnover in teaching is about four percent higher than other professions.
  • Why are all these teachers leaving—or not even entering the classroom in the first place?

  • “Teachers in schools do not call the shots. They have very little say. They’re told what to do; it’s a very disempowered line of work.”
  • if you want to have a family, or you want to have some leisure time, you know, how do you sustain that?”
  • many young teachers soon realize they must do overwhelming amounts of after-hours work. They pour out emotional energy into their work, which breeds quick exhaustion. And they experience the frustrating uphill battle that comes along with teaching—particularly in low-performing schools.
  • What people are asked to do is only the kind of thing that somebody can do for two or three years; you couldn’t sustain that level of intensity throughout a career,” said Thomas Smith, a professor at Vanderbilt University’s education school.
  • Many of them cited “personal reasons,” ranging from individual stress levels to work-life balance struggles.
  • “What many of them working in high-need schools told me, however, was that being successful at school directly conflicted with being successful husbands and fathers. While this is certainly true of any occupation, most occupations don't leave your children asking you, ‘Why do you go to more basketball games of the kids at school than mine?’"
  • Higher pay doesn’t necessarily lead to a better retention rate, though.
  • Most teachers sounded simply frustrated, overworked and underpaid—sentiments that are certainly echoed in the research. 
  • “Those schools that do a far better job of managing and coping with and responding to student behavioral issues have far better teacher retention,”
  • “Respected, well-paid lines of work do not have shortages,”
  • If the overall attractiveness of teaching as a profession gets better, the best teachers will enter the profession, stay, and help increase the effectiveness of schools.
