  • Imagine that before sending your child to school this year, you could go online and find out how well previous students of your child’s new teacher have performed on standardized tests.

  • Autonomy is crucial and builds a sense of responsibility for outcomes.
  • There must be a balance between teachers' autonomy and collaboration. Those in charge do not understand that the onlt way that teachers will take the team-building risks is if they are confident that their autonomy will also be respected

  • "Cooperative effort" is similiar to Japan's "lesson-study" approach
  • most workers involved in "team" approaches in the workplace will confess that the team aspect is more show than reality.

    Teacher collaboration is on the decline. We are cutting against the grain as we try to work with 6th grade teams on the Connected Learning project. What does sustained "sticky" PD look like? How do we truly build capacity?

    Hi all. I'm diving in here and notice that my highlighted text showed up as annotations. Sorry. I'm working on it! What I found most interesting was one commenter who noted: "in reality, being fully human is necessarily collaborative. . .Schools would benefit tremendously from honoring and supporting collaboration among faculty but more importantly among students. . .teaching, learning, and assessment are artificially forced into acts in isolation in traditional schooling. . .That is dehumanizing and countereducational. . ." My thoughts: So how can we humanize the PD process? Seems choice and autonomy are huge factors towards ownership of technology integration. Comes back to the question, for adults as well as students, "Who owns the learning?"
