    Recommended in this week's Marshall Memo: "In this column in Phi Delta Kappan, PDK International CEO Joshua Starr says three things worry him about "the rapid and widespread embrace" of social-emotional learning (SEL). First, the concept has become "too fuzzy to be useful" - it can mean growth mindset, grit, anti-bullying, collaborative learning, classroom management, and more. Second, developers are creating social-emotional learning products and hyping them as ways to transform schools (if we purchase and implement them with fidelity). Third, says Starr, 'I worry that the SEL movement hasn't been careful enough to address the racial divisions that permeate American public education… It's no surprise that many critics have begun to push back on the idea that children of color need white educators to teach them to persevere and regulate their behavior.' Starr has these suggestions to get social-emotional learning back on track so that it makes a positive difference in schools"

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

teacher retention turnover

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?
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • “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.

Leadership education reform character PD

  • Enduring achievement gains require not only applying content and concepts worth knowing, but also ensuring that learning is occurring in a healthy, thriving culture as well
  • Is the principal visible in classrooms and noticing and commenting on teachers' and students' strengths?
  • Joy in learning is essential to a healthy and productive school culture; fear and joy cannot coexist.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • And—not to be minimized—are teachers and students enjoying instruction and learning?
  • People who are anxious with worry, concerned for their safety, or treated disrespectfully do not take risks or work well with others, nor do they perform their best work.
  • Successful principals and other education leaders deliberately model and take trust-building steps with and for their school communities every day.
  • They listen without judgment, are open to divergent viewpoints, communicate clearly and respectfully, and are humble in their actions and demeanor.
  • They celebrate teachers' strengths before evaluating them. They give feedback that is useful and actionable.
  • A caring, well-organized, and well-managed environment helps promote a sense of well-being and optimism
  • Research has clearly shown that teachers become more effective, efficient, and joyful when they have time to plan, observe, problem-solve, coach, and learn together.
  • Successful principals foster a collaborative atmosphere by creating time for classroom teachers and specialists to
  • The most effective principals and education leaders also take their own professional learning seriously and become highly knowledgeable so they can ably guide and coach teachers.

  • In Age of Distraction: Why It's Crucial for Students to Learn to Focus (1), Katrina Schwartz refers to studies showing that the ability to focus on a task has been linked to future success. She quotes psychologist and author Daniel Goleman as saying, "This ability [to focus] is more important than IQ or the socio economic status of the family you grew up in for determining career success, financial success and health."
  • In a similar article, With Tech Tools, How Should Teachers Tackle Multitasking in Class? (2), author Holly Korbey explores research around student study habits and talks to veteran teachers about their experiences with students using technology in the classroom.
  • Instead, we should be deliberately teaching students how to manage their attention with their devices.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The reality is that devices are not going away, and we need to teach our students how to effectively manage them so that they can be successful in whatever they do.

edmodo blogging

shared by Gayle Cole on 23 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • Grade 6 embraced Edmodo from the start and used it in many ways,
  • class blogs have started to surface ( still limited to class member only access) and this has started to blur the lines between Edmodo and the class blogs. Our ICT Leader recently attended a network meeting and other leaders there questioned the purpose of Edmodo if they were already blogging
  • how to make a convincing argument for both Edmodo and blogging being transformative teaching and learning tools
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Edmodo as an all encompassing classroom management/teaching and learning/collaboration system.
  • My favorite feature of Edmodo and a big difference between itself and blogging. I’ve written a few posts on how I’ve used groups to organize my lessons with different small groups.
  • It’s simply a feature blogging doesn’t offer
  • convenience and ease of creating groups for different subjects or smaller groups within that group so that specific groups of children can collaborate and discuss.It takes no time to set the groups up and they can be altered at any time.
  • the simplicity of the Edmodo discussion wins me over compared to blogging. Simply add a note explaining the topic of the discussion, which can include images, videos, embedded links to other web tools, links to other sites, click Add and the discussion begins. All it takes is to hit the Reply button and the discussion is in full swing. The one feature I would like Edmodo to add is the ability to reply to a specific comment like you can in blogs. It can be a bit cumbersome having to write a reply to someone who wrote something 10 comments back.
  • sharing files is very easy with Edmodo
  • the polls and quizzes on Edmodo can be created much more quickly, albeit only by the teacher
  • Extrinsic motivation through Badges - Not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like to use stickers or awards, Edmodo has its own reward system called badges. You can create your own (but it’s a lot easier to just grab badges already created by other Edmodo teachers – I’ve collected 190 of them from my connections) and to encourage or acknowledge student effort or work, you can simply select their name in your class list, select a badge and award it to the students
  • a good way to collate a whole bunch of comments for your student reports without doing any more work than giving that badge toa student.

  • Critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity are vital and each plays an important role in allowing us to manage the complexity of modern day life. Beyond being relevant to success in the classroom the Four C’s are the foundations of life-long learning but I question if alone they are enough. I believe we must include a fifth; compassion.
