Spelling literacy research instruction pedagogy

shared by Steve Ransom on 01 Dec 13 - No Cached
  • The people who don’t benefit from spelling tests are those who are poor at spelling. They struggled with spelling before the test, and they still struggle after the test. Testing is not teaching.
  • Are all children learning to love words from their very first years at school?
  • Are they being fascinated by stories about where words come from and what those stories tell us about the spelling of those words?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • re they being excited by breaking the code, figuring how words are making their meanings and thrilled to find that what they’ve learned about one word helps them solve another word?

    An important post from a friend and colleague, David Jakes, technology director for a major Chicago school district. This may help you see just how much some schools ARE moving forward while others are sitting on the sidelines due to lack of vision, understanding, and participation.

  • Education 3.0 is based on the belief that content is freely and readily available. It is self-directed, interest-based learning where problem-solving, innovation and creativity drive education.

pbl projects critique

shared by Steve Ransom on 09 Jun 13 - No Cached
  • In short, we seem to have students who believe that projects are for assessment purposes only.
  • he gave the project the highest praise a teenager can give anything: he stayed up until 2:00 AM working on it.
  • if learning isn't accompanied by the psychological stress of an exam, then they're somehow "let off the hook" and can devalue the content.
  • Steve Ransom on 09 Jun 13
     
    How sad that we've coopted the "project" in such ways. We can change this.

    No kidding. Common core swings the pendulum far in the other direction with document-based evidence, informational/expository texts, and sapping the love of the printed word right out of learning.

We Need Teachers, Not Facilitators! : Stager-to-Go - 0 views

teachers teaching teachereducation change quality

shared by Steve Ransom on 01 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • Teachers expert in inspiring long-term, personally meaningful and interdisciplinary projects or thematic instruction regularly exceed the standards, but that realization is lost on facilitators.
  • New teachers have little or no experience with classroom centers, independent work, student projects and the sorts of agency that allow children to enjoy the “flow” experiences that build upon their obsessions and lead to understanding. Even when teachers are not lecturing from bell-to-bell, the classroom agenda is top-down and leaves little chance for serendipity or student initiative.
  • Great teachers know their students in deeper ways than any data can provide. They ask kids about their weekends. They chat about what kids are reading and console them when their hamster dies
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • They learn continuously for themselves and their students. Teachers share their love of reading and are patrons of the arts. They are active citizens and engage students in current events. Outstanding teachers are not afraid to appear silly or create a whimsical classroom environment. They play in the snow with kindergarteners like Maria Knee.
  • great teachers need to be passionate, competent and interesting humans beyond the scope and sequence of the curriculum.
  • oday, new teachers truly are facilitators. They are “trained” to manage classrooms and deliver the curriculum handed to them.
