The Flipped Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    What if...a teacher "flipped" students' learning experience so the lecture/mini-lesson happened at home or outside of school time, and homework --applied learning -- happened in the classroom? How could a parent participate in this process? We may not be there yet (especially due to internet access issues), but we're on our way!

More Induction, Less-Intense P.D. for Teachers, Report Finds - Teacher Beat - Education... - 0 views

  • Even so, the report found that the intensity of other types of professional development decreased between 2004 and 2008. Training of at least nine to 16 hours on the use of computers for instruction, reading instruction, and student discipline all declined notably, while training of up to eight hours in those areas shot up. That could be a sign that teachers are back in the infamous and much-maligned one-shot workshops.
    • Nick Siewert
       
      One shot workshops are back, regrettably.
  • states have let their infrastructures for professional development dwindle of late.
  • The percentage of teachers who perceived a culture of "cooperative effort" in their schools dropped from 34 percent in 2000 to just 16 in 2008. But, the percentage of new teachers who said they had common planning time increased from 49 percent in 2004 to 56 percent in 2008. Per this apparent contradiction, the study postulates the mere provision of common planning time is not enough to support collaborative work among teachers.

      Under-utilized common planning time.
