    Focusing on learning works better than focusing on test scores and grades research finds.

    The way we focus students and the language we use matter, as does the substance of what we do. This is part of a larger discussion on intrinsic vs: extrinsic motivation.

  • 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?"

    How PD starts in a session but doesn't end until the rubber meets the road in the classroom. One of those articles that states the obvious, but well enough it reframes it. Nice PD graphic model.
