    A good overview - many barriers of which I think we've begun to tackle... I think it's significant to note that barrier 4,5 and 6 is curriculum, curriculum, curriculum... "Administrators can't expect to be successful on the backs of teacher-generated curriculum materials."

  • Understanding how to use Python, or write code to solve problems, is just a way of having an additional tool to be creative with."
  • "The old teaching method — you know, where a teacher says something and you write it down and then take a test — that's about as passive as it gets," he says. "This idea pushes kids to be more actively involved since, by and large, it's something we're both learning together. That leads to a lot of innovative teaching — and a lot of innovative learning, for that matter."
  • "I'm certainly not a coder," says Lisa Brown, an English teacher and head of the English department at Beaver. "But, like anything, the more I've played around with it the more I've realized there's a lot that's really accessible and understandable."

  • implementing coding into each discipline — is still open-ended.
  • Brown says she's considering a poetry unit using code language. Kader Adjout, head of the Global History and Social Sciences department, is planning to have his students design — through code — interactive graphs to correlate with their research papers. Tina Farrell, who heads the Performing Arts department, is interested in experimenting with live-coding performances, where students would use software to compose and perform music with scripts they write.
  • It's difficult to trace back to when the American education curriculum began. Why, for example, do students at public schools take biology before chemistry? Chemistry before physics? And algebra before geometry?

      Not all schools are doing this now. Certainly a traditional approach.
  • Hutton doesn't believe the education field is one to be viewed as "risk-averse" — the play-it-safe or uphold-the-status-quo methods just aren't cutting it anymore.
  • We don't need to engineer a workshop so every kid that graduates here becomes a professional programmer," he says. "We just want them to think about new ways to solve issues, and grasp that entrepreneurial mindset early on. It's ... it's just this day and age."

  • When the school was created, a research and design studio known as Mission Lab was integrated into the design of the school by founding partner Institute of Play. The goal of Mission Lab is to help teachers teach the way they wish they could — the way they dream of engaging their students, were it not for the lack of support and other obstacles that often get in the way. Mission Lab supports teachers by pairing them with a game designer and a curriculum designer (staffed by the Institute of Play) who help make the teacher’s vision a reality, providing support throughout the process of design and implementation.
  • Teachers in their first year at the school have two weekly curriculum meetings built into their schedule, and meetings for returning teachers are scheduled on an as-needed basis, usually once a week.
  • he mission narrative, or context, is developed once the teacher, game designer, and curriculum designer have identified the big ideas, learning goals, and standards for the trimester.

  • The dystopian fiction mission is called ‘The Blurred Line,’ as it asks students, “What is the line between dystopia and utopia?”
  • A quest focuses on a particular learning goal, discrete skill, or area of content that students can learn in several days or weeks. Each quest ends with at least one deliverable that helps the students move towards completing their mission, and it relates to the narrative of the mission in a logical and meaningful way.

  • For example, instead of plain old motion and forces, the unit relates to car safety as a real application of physics ideas. I have many places where I can still improve on this, but it’s a start!
  • ”If only we could shrink some topics, we could expand others that offer much more. For instance, basic statistics and probability generally get little attention compared to quadratic equations and multiple linear equations, but they come up constantly in public policy, economic reports and forecasts, health and insurance decisions, investing, and gambling.”

  • Push forward with curriculum (content) changes that are big enough and happen fast enough that there’s no turning back to the old ways.

  • Critically, pushing around symbols on paper is just a symbolic representation of the real math taking place within one’s head. When one does a calculation, whether it is by hand or by machine, an important feature of whether or not one can be said to be doing the calculation is whether or not one can predict the potential output from the algorithm, or if one understands the process they are using.
  • We also require, as a system, much more flexibility in the mathematics taught at the K-to-12 level. I’d like to see a system where many different types of mathematics are taught besides just the standard hierarchy leading to calculus.

  • This semester, we’ve chosen to create a social media campaign to raise awareness around modern slavery. This is the project-based part. It’s not enough for my students to learn about slavery, they need to do something with it, specifically “real world” projects that matter.
  • Teaching this way also allows me to teach real writing to my students. Before we started to create videos, my students looked at numerous YouTube videos about slavery. They focused on those they found powerful, and conversely, those that weren’t very effective. We analyzed the differences between the two. My students talked animatedly about how the powerful videos touched your emotions.
  • My students have started designing our curriculum units.

  • After hearing a number of ideas, and seeing a plan beginning to formulate, one of my students looked at me and said, “Can you help us create a unit plan for this?”

  • To take full advantage of that reality, the vast majority of classes will be inquiry-based, and they will be grounded in the social online tools like blogs and social bookmarks and others that more relevantly reflect their learning realities. And Lisa’s teachers will know what it’s like to learn for themselves in these global networks as well. It’s a journey of change coming to fruition.
  • “We have to do both.” We have to make sure our students “succeed” by the traditional measures, but we also have to make sure they have the skills and literacies to navigate the social, online learning spaces they are going to be inhabiting well into their adulthood. What choice do we have?
  • Are you in the process of enacting the changes that your students need that no one is asking for?
