  • Welcome back to our series on becoming a 21st century school or district! For the earlier installments of this series, please scroll to the bottom of this page. Previously we focused a lot of attention around the 4Cs: Critical thinking Communication Collaboration Creativity
  • Another strategy for using collaboration to transform PD is "peer coaching."
  • Reflections How would you rate the quality of professional development in your school or district? Does your PD challenge your educators to: Think critically and reflect deeply on their practice? Communicate and collaborate effectively? Bring innovative and creative practices to their classrooms? Have you established professional learning communities? Are they focused on the 4C's? Conclusion We have two major recommendations on PD: Be sure your PD exhibits the characteristics of the 4C's; Focus your PD on how teachers teach and assess the 4C's.

    Technology is in the forefront of everything we do as collaborators in the classroom. Teachers incorporating the use of technology while lesson planning increases engagement and rigor. Lessons are enhanced and students are focused. Many of the projects we were involved in incorporated technology and we collaborated with others at the school site and across the district. Valuable relationships were formed among the students and the teachers. Teachers not involved with the collaboration process also benefited from this through observing what was taking place in our classrooms. These teachers then requested to be involved in the program. Relationships were built, the use of technology was increased, and a 21st Century classroom was created.

    Your video was outstanding. It was encouraging to see so many students engaged with so many different types of technology. These activities would not have been happening if it weren't for the coaching that took place to support the teachers in implementing the technology. I wonder how you feel about your accomplishments?

    It was great to watch this video and see so many different instructors using so many different types of technology, at multiple locations! Since my son is one of the people that has benefited because of the changes that have been made I want to thank you not only as a member of your community but as a parent! Thanks for doing what is best for kids!

    This is an awesome video. It does a great job of depicting how far we have come as a district in using technology to create a 21st Century learning environment. I am wondering how we can still reach the hesitant few that haven't yet embraced technology.

    Another great presentation. Wow, AJUSD really uses technology to help students learn! It was really interesting seeing the students use technology in different ways! Great day.

    I am in awe over what you have achieved with your students. It was encouraging to know that the students that are heading up to the high school will already have so many of the basic skills necessary to be ready for year thirteen. I love vimeo, too, and am going to incorporate it into my lessons next year. Thanks for sharing!

    This really does a wonderful job of showcasing how effective collaboration coaching has been for not only those coaches directly involved, but how much the students have benefited as well. Excellent job in presenting the experiences of your year.
  • Patricia Carpenter on 03 May 11
     
    Those students are going to be coming up to the junior and senior high so prepared. Thank you! Knowing that they are coming up to the higher grades with the ability to work with technology and work with each other at the same time is reassuring. Excellent work, guys!

    I love how your video focuses on how becoming a 21st C classroom is a process that we (teachers & students) are somewhere along the spectrum.

    Students will research, write, edit, revise, support, and publish their news stories and editorial opinion pieces-while learning, practicing, and mastering 21st century content standards, learning objectives, learning skills, and technology tools.Students will be publishing them in a 21st century, globally-themed newspaper format. This newspaper can be shared with not only the school but the community. This is a lesson for 4th grade, but I think it could be adapted for 3rd grade up.

  • “How do we create a culture of learners that thrive in the 21st century?”
  • Those qualities are, That the experience is responsive, It provokes conversation, It inspires personal investment, and It’s guided by safely-made mistakes.
  • Classroom Teachers: How might I alter this assignment or project so that it “Responds” to the learner? How can the experience “Talk Back?” How might I plant barriers within the assignment that force learners to “Question” their way through — to value the “questions” not just for “answers?” How can I ban silence in my classroom, provoking “Conversation” with my assignments and projects, expecting learners to exchange ideas and knowledge? How can I make their learning worth “Investing” in? How might the outcomes of their learning be of value to themselves and to others? How am I daring my students to make the “Mistakes” that feed the learning dialog?

  • Administrators: How does the learning here “Respond” to the learner? How does the learning “Talk Back” to the learner and to the community? Have my classrooms banned silence? Do the learning experiences “Provoke Conversation” by expecting learners to exchange knowledge? Are my classrooms places that student “Questions” as much as their answers? How do the learning environments in my school inspire learners to invest their time and skills for something larger? How are learners being dared to make the “Mistakes” that feed the learning dialog and how am I a part of that dialog?

    Discusses having to redefine "literacy" since Internet has changed what that means... and students need to learn new literacy because that's the reality of this day and age... It's the reality of preparing them for college and career (year 13). Furthermore, it's built into the standards.

    Degree Confluence Project The goal of this volunteer-run project is to post a photograph on this Web site of each of the 13,584 latitude and longitude degree intersections in the world (whole-number values only!). Confluences in the oceans and some near the poles have been excluded. There is a confluence point within 49 miles of wherever you're standing. You can join the fun with a camera and GPS receiver. Participants must create an account or log a plan Here's my question -- is this just a 21st Century collaborative learning oportunity, or is it pbl? Did I tag it right?

  • “Maximizing the Common Core involves a change in creativity, critical thinking, and a fundamental shift in relationships. It is where the role of the teacher becomes more essential than ever, as students develop their capacity to question, discover, connect, collaborate and contribute on a global scale, and where they are empowered by an increase in direction and management of their own learning.”

    Description: "The resources in Xpeditions provide an opportunity to cross the curriculums of science, social studies, math, and language arts using National Geography Standards. At the same time students are engaged in unique and well planned inquiry, project, and problem based activities." Benefits: Just about all the work is done for you. Lesson plans, video links, everything right at your fingertips. Pitfalls: Deciding what you want to do and where to start.

    "So far Paul Bogush's class commercial (10:34) is my favorite education video that I've seen this year. I'm not sure which part I like better, the first two-thirds with upbeat pictures and videos or the last third with student quotes, some of which nearly bring me to tears..."
