Myth of Bell-to-Bell Instruction Vs. "Golden Rule of 15 Minutes"| The Committed Sardine - 1 views

      Engage students in the learning process so they are not passive learners
  • Keeping the core of instruction to these golden 15 minutes also allows for 20 minutes of student work at the end of class, what I call the "exit price."
  • Many teachers have been told to teach from bell to bell. Unfortunately, some teachers believe this means they must stand and deliver in front of the board for 50 minutes. Big mistake!

  • During teach-back, I break objectives into smaller steps and concepts, do 10-second mini-lectures on a "baby" concept in the context of a problem, then immediately put up several problems on that baby concept and fire questions at several different students, asking them to teach the class to apply what I taught by doing the problems

Maine Learning with Laptop Study - 0 views

  • The MLLS evaluation team uses a success-based approach to evaluation. We use the research base and the experience of large scale educational technology initiatives to move beyond the question of whether technology can improve student learning to using the idenetified conditions and strategies for using technology which do improve the quality of a school's instructional program as a benchmark for evaluation. Doing so, the MLLS evaluation team can provide critical formative assessment to local project leaders about what they are doing well, what challenges they face, and can make recommendations on how to address the challenges.

      The use of a success-based approach to measuring the effectivness of the initative is interesting. Success for one student or school may not be the same for another.

The New Literacies - 0 views

  • "Knowing truth from fiction on the Internet is a huge problem," says Kenneth Eastwood, superintendent of Middletown City (N.Y.) School District. "Students might be good researchers, but they tend not to scrutinize the information."
  • It might seem that evaluating information online-just one form of "new literacy"-and reading a book-more of a foundational literacy-are pretty much the same thing. After all, you can't trust everything you read, either. But there are differences. And those differences, when brought into the classroom and incorporated into curricula, are enriching the educational experiences of many K12 students. Unfortunately, many administrators, although they are beginning to recognize the need to revise their districts' media skills instruction, lack the resources, and more importantly the vision, to bring the new literacies into the classroom.
