teaching pedagogy

  • Such schools combine “face-to-face” education in a specific place (what used to be called “school”) with online instruction.
  • Rocketship is building a model in which kids learn much of their basic skills via adaptive technology like the DreamBox software, leaving classroom teachers free to focus on critical-thinking instruction and extra help where kids are struggling. Likewise, teachers will be able to “prescribe” online attention to specific skills.
  • Rocketship and the other school models we describe here offer a vision for what deeply integrated technology can mean for children’s education, for the way schools are structured, and for the promise of greater efficiency amid a lengthy economic downturn

  • This is much more than simply taking a class online
  • “Our schools must prepare all students for college and careers—and do far more to personalize instruction and employ the smart use of technology.”
  • The classroom is an open space that runs the length of the building wing, but is subdivided by bookshelves into workspaces where small groups of students work with the teacher or individually with laptops

    Rocketship and other schools of the future will prove more structre, greater efficiency, and enhanced engagement for student learning. They will also require less money to be paid to st aff and allow teachers more time to plan critical thinking activities.

  • They’ll pass through a hidden weapons-detection system and step into a wide corridor dubbed “Main Street.” They’ll swipe their “smart cards,” and a screen will display their photographs and register their attendance
  • They’ll move quickly, carrying only a small laptop from class to class and home at night (no more overloaded backpacks). Passing the administrative offices and the “interactive learning center” (read: a library without books), they’ll come to a mall-style food court, where purchases will be tracked with the same card. (No more telling Mom you had broccoli while really subsisting on Kit Kats and Snapple.)
  • In the gym, plasma-screen televisions and video cameras will bring pro-style instant-replay access to the varsity level, and outside, a futuristic anti-graffiti coating on the walls will make washing off tags easier. This technological utopia of high-density fiber-optic cable will be virtually paperless, although there will be printers on hand (just in case). And the entire building — a green building, complete with solar panels and grassy roof — is wired, powered and online.

Classroom Setup

  • The school will have classrooms, workshops, laboratories, a library, recreational areas and halls as fit the needs of its composition. If at all possible, it will have a roll of about 550 learners.
  • Allocation of classes should aim at an optimum size of 24 learners and a ceiling of 28, with some flexibility within reason.

    The School District of Philadelphia and Microsoft joined forces in 2003 to plan, build, and support a 750-student high school that could serve as a model for 21st-century learning communities around the world and would: Practice and promote digital inclusion. Integrate technology into every area of the learning community, including curriculum delivery, community collaboration, office support, content creation, and sharing content and assessments. Generate innovative education practices and new models for learning. Create an environment that engages all learning community members and helps to inspire passionate, personal responsibility for learning.

Classroom Setup

  • I have been an adjunct online instructor with the North Carolina Virtual Public Schools since 2008 and have developed and taught an online course through my school, Forsyth Country Day School in Lewsville, NC.  This year, for the first time, I used the online platform to teach through “blended learning.”  Students had the virtual, online course throughout at their fingertips, while also being taught face-to-face each day
  • Students had the virtual, online course throughout at their fingertips, while also being taught face-to-face each day.  I found that the online platform was great for allowing students to get caught up if they fell behind and also allowed students to work ahead if they knew they would be traveling or would miss school because of an athletic event, etc.

  • When art, stainless steel, and architectural statements collide, the results can be either beautiful or challenging. In the case of Central Los Angeles Area High School #9, it can be both. The high school's state-of-the-art campus—part of L.A.'s continuing Grand Avenue arts corridor renovation—plays on the school's educational emphasis on performing arts and highlights it with three 304-grade stainless steel–clad sculptural buildings.

teaching pedagogy

shared by margaret taylor on 19 Jun 12 - No Cached
  • Assessment and comparison of teachers’ ability to educate, based on student test scores, is manifestly unjust, given that school settings differ so widely. Good teachers are of course essential in education, but cannot be expected to raise the performance level of students in inner-city schools to that of students from wealthier, more resource-rich communities. 
  • There is no question that America’s education system is in mortal danger. Senator Hancock believes that the essential responsibility for failing schools lies not with teachers but can be traced back to the lawmakers who slash school funding. To be blunt, money, or the lack thereof, is the underlying factor that causes classrooms to overflow and deprives students and teachers of textbooks, facilities, counseling, and other forms of support. 
  • Improving education in America is not going to be easy. Reforms are needed that will take all the factors of education into consideration, granting teachers the respect they deserve while recognizing students’ birthright to a public education and providing them with adequate educational resources and community support.
