You don't know the half of it | The Learning Journey - 0 views

    This is excellent homework! This comment on Jason's blog post is fascinating, and it is so appropriate to MYP ATL skills. "The fact that I can meet with a needs-based group and say to them after a mini-lesson, "Find an app or something that will help you learn, practice, and transfer this skill or process," highlights this. Sometimes that is my homework. We speed share it in the morning, and everyone in the group uses it for independent practice and homework the next night. I'll make sure that this page on my blog gets priority before the end of our break. This is some of what our phenomenal Tech Director is helping us to find: http://elearning.sis.org.cn .

C. M. Rubin: The Global Search for Education: What Will Finland Do Next? - 2 views

  • I think that the U.S. school system would benefit from a dual system in high school where young people who are interested in doing or making things with their hands, for instance, could have high quality vocational programs or schools that would equip them with the skills they need to find jobs or employ themselves.
  • First, curriculum in vocational schools was adjusted closer to the standards of academic high school.
  • Second, a significant proportion of vocational studies was shifted to real work places where students are able to learn in practice the knowledge and skills they need in their future jobs.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Third, vocational and academic high schools were required to design and provide instruction that enabled students more flexibility and choice.
  • One scenario is that schools will race after technology and align core instructional operations to rely on digital and other technological solutions.
  • A second scenario views schools merely as places for facilitation of study and checking of achievement.
  • A third scenario would be to elevate schools as places for social learning and developmental skills. Cooperative learning, problem solving and cultivating the habits of mind would be at the heart of school life.
  • First, I am not saying that Finland has the best education system in the world and that others should imitate what we have done.
  • Second, I make it very clear that the Finnish school system cannot be transferred anywhere else in the world.
  • There are some concrete lessons that American educators and policymakers could learn from Finland.
  • First, a universal standard for financing schools, so that resources are channeled to schools according to real needs
  • Second, a universal standard for time allocation in schools, allowing pupils to have a proper recess between classes and a balanced curriculum among academic learning, the arts and physical education.
  • Third, a universal standard for teacher preparation that follows standards in other top professions.

    Some interesting comments of regarding the future of schools...if that is what we continue to call them.
