The Master of Living « Jaime Hepp's Blog - 1 views

  •  
    The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.  He hardly knows which is which.  He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.  To him he's always doing both. ~Jamie Hepp

A 5 country brain dump - 1 views

  • Using my school as an example….I beleive the only outcomes we need for any lesson are these factors that my school has agreed upon: Learning is the primary focus of our school and we recognize learning as a life-long adventure. We value meaningful learning where students construct enduring understanding by developing and applying knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Increased understanding is evidenced by students who: - Explain its relevance - Describe how it connects to or conflicts with prior learning - Communicate it effectively to others - Generalize and apply it effectively to new situations - Reflect critically on their own and other’s learning - Ask questions to extend learning - Create meaningful solutions

Shift to the Future: Why? - 1 views

  •  
    We need to be able to attach a value statement to what we invest in. For each proposed "new" I think a value statement could be developed for the current model and proposed alternates. Also, what is being undone by introducing the new - what will be given up? What increased benefit is expected from the current state relative to the proposed new?

    My list is very different: - emergent thinking: extracting patterns, rules, regularities, prototypes - sensing value - finding meaning, truth, relevance, purpose, goals - acting semiotically - using signs, signals, art, desig, etc., to do things - seeing beyond - describing, defining, drawing conclusions, explaining data - ecological sensitivity - placing in context, seeing frames, making meaning - living in change - understanding flow, adaptation, progression
