  • The key to infusing technology for deep learning is professional development for teachers. At our school, each teacher wrote his or her own professional development plan. Then we changed the job description of the technology teacher to include meeting with each teacher to refine and review these plans. Instead of teaching computers to the students, the new technology integration coach—a new title to reflect new duties–was now available to partner with the teacher in the classroom. As teachers became more comfortable, the coaching sessions centered on how to extend learning.
  • At the same time, our administrative team began using e-communication folders for parent communication, e-portfolios for teachers, and Moodle for virtual classroom environments. Teachers experienced rich, efficient collaboration and communication through technology. This resulted in more effective face-to face communication.
  • Three things are basic to preparing students to be deeper learners: (1) access to quality curriculums, teaching, and learning, (2) robust information resources, technology tools, devices, and infrastructures, and (3) a student-centered learning environment that promotes critical thinking and problem solving.

  • One of a leader's most important roles is to be a model for teachers–who then become models for students. Modeling digital learning in professional learning communities, faculty meetings, parent events, and everyday tasks helps adult learners in the school challenge themselves to authentically learn how to use technology.

  • that's the essence of "real" teaching—the transformative kind that sends a young person forward on a journey they understand to be their own
  • It's about a teacher intending to see beauty—what is invisible to the eye—in the child who passes by.
  • It's about knowing that establishing ties must start the learning journey
  • John Hattie (2009) points to positive teacher-student relationships as one of the most potent catalysts for student achievement.
  • ne of the great satisfactions of teaching is that those of us who teach are the primary beneficiaries of the process. We are re-made each year

  • Expert coaches uniformly avoid overloading performers with too much or too technical information. They tell the performers one important thing they noticed that, if changed, will likely yield immediate and noticeable improvement ("I was confused about who was talking in the dialogue you wrote in this paragraph"). They don't offer advice until they make sure the performer understands the importance of what they saw.
  • I say "in most cases" to allow for situations like playing a piano piece in a recital. I don't want my teacher or the audience barking out feedback as I perform. That's why it is more precise to say that good feedback is "timely" rather than "immediate."

  • Whether the feedback was in the observable effects or from other people, in every case the information received was not advice,
  • eedback is often used to describe all kinds of comments made after the fact, including advice, praise, and evaluation
  • Guidance would be premature; I first need to receive feedback on what I did or didn't do that would warrant such advice.
  • Decades of education research support the idea that by teaching less and providing more feedback, we can produce greater learning
  • Formative assessment, consisting of lots of feedback and opportunities to use that feedback, enhances performance and achievement
  • Whether feedback is just there to be grasped or is provided by another person,
  • Whether feedback is just there to be grasped or is provided by another person, helpful feedback is goal-referenced; tangible and transparent; actionable; user-friendly (specific and personalized); timely; ongoing; and consistent.
  • feedback is information about how we are doing in our efforts to reach a goal.
  • by teaching less and providing more feedback, we can produce greater learning
  • The most ubiquitous form of evaluation, grading, is so much a part of the school landscape that we easily overlook its utter uselessness as actionable feedback.
