  • 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.

      This is an extremely important key concept in regard to thinking about where tech belongs and what kind of skills are important to emphasize within the context of curriculum
  • Integration is a matter of design, and produces considerable cognitive load on a learner. And in light of APIs, social media, and an array of smart mobile devices, is a kind of digital strategy
  • When the standard says “digital media,” it might as well say social media as it continues “to add interest,” a side-effect of making something non-social, social. students,” but rather requires learners to make complex decisions about how, when, and why to use technology–something educators must do as well.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Evaluation is near the top of Bloom’s taxonomy for a reason, necessitating that students make critical judgment calls about how information is presented and shared.
  • Collaboration forces students to plan, adopt, adapt, rethink, and revise, all higher-level practices.
  • demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.

      This is interesting...noting keyboarding skills may not be measured in WPM. True measure may be in regard to engagement and self-regulation.

  • We need to train teachers to know how to maximise benefits of online learning. We need to re-shape online learning space and make it personalised, engaging & suited to the task.
  • Will schools have a role into the future? Yes! Schools should be the core functional, relational communities of society.
  • Physical space is just as important as virtual and/or pedagogic space. Kill off desks, chairs and lockers.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • There are so many better & engaging ways to furnish a space.
  • Leadership roles should match priorities, not history.
  • Students must learn to be engaged learners. Parents need to grow their understanding of the realities their children will face, not re-live their own school experience.
  • Teaching could be about creative direction, rather than about behaviour management.
  • Curriculum should be meaningful, contextual, authentic, integrated, challenge based, relational.
  • We should kill off the one teacher per class model. It is fraught with emotional risks.
  • Students should be given capacity to delve deeply into topics, not punctuated by factory-style bells. Schools need to experiment with far more timetable-less days – opportunities for real life learning.

  • Their guidance counselor was their adviser, consulting with them when the group flagged in energy or encountered an obstacle. Though they sought advice from English, math and science teachers, they were responsible for monitoring one another’s work and giving one another feedback. There were no grades, but at the end of the semester, the students wrote evaluations of their classmates.
  • The students also designed their own curriculum, deciding to split their September-to-January term into two halves.
  • each of them focused on specific mathematical topics, from quadratic equations to the numbers behind poker
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • “I did well before. But I had forgotten what I actually like doing.”
  • They are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience, when they learn things that matter to them and when they learn together.
  • But perhaps children don’t need another reform imposed on them. Instead, they need to be the authors of their own education.

    An interesting way of harnessing the natural energy of teenagers. Definitely worthy of further exploration.

  • Yet undergraduate education changes remarkably little over time.
  • Education will be more about how to process and use information and less about imparting it.
  • An inevitable consequence of the knowledge explosion is that tasks will be carried out with far more collaboration.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • New technologies will profoundly alter the way knowledge is conveyed.
  • As articulated by the Nobel Prize-winner Daniel Kahneman in “Thinking, Fast and Slow,” we understand the processes of human thought much better than we once did.
  • And yet in the face of all evidence, we rely almost entirely on passive learning.
  • This makes it essential that the educational experience breed cosmopolitanism — that students have international experiences, and classes in the social sciences draw on examples from around the world.
  • Courses of study will place much more emphasis on the analysis of data
  • A good rule of thumb for many things in life holds that things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then happen faster than you thought they could.
  • Here is a bet and a hope that the next quarter century will see more change in higher education than the last three combined.
