    Introduction by Dr. Barrett This is the most important lesson because I believe reflection is the "heart and soul" of the portfolio process. You will focus on the reflective portfolio, most often implemented through a reflective journal. The technology tool most appropriate for this level is most likely a blog. There are a variety of mobile resources provided to scaffold the reflection process with students. The implementation plan step includes a plan for scaffolding student reflection, teacher feedback, and a plan for further professional development to support teachers' portfolio and technology skills.

  • If you don't know what the world is going to look like five years from now, there is not a lot of sense trying to predict potential external factors planning your career based on that dubious prediction.
  • So are we saying career planning is waste of time? Yes, much of the time it is, at least as it is typically taught.
  • Determine your desire Take a step toward it Incorporate what you learn from taking that step Take another step Learn from that one Repeat until you have a job, your own business, or have achieved your goal

  • 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?”

  • The problem is that even when offered the keys to a brand new shiny red sports car, it seems as if the inclination is to just let it sit in the driveway.
  • We have a new tool, with no real plans as to how specifically it will lead us to our 21st century goals.
  • But I also think that schools and districts need to keep asking how THEY will make these tools effective additions to how they educate a student. Without that understanding or plan, that Corvette isn’t going to get on the open road at all.

    We at the IMSLP believe that music should be something that is easily accessible for everyone. For this purpose we have created a music library to provide music scores free of charge to anyone with internet access, with several other projects in planning. IMSLP is also entirely collaborative, and all contributions are greatly welcome.

  • We polled 70,000 kids in fifth through 12th grade and found that students who are engaged, who are on the thriving end of the wellbeing scale, and who are hopeful are approximately four times more likely to qualify as financially literate than disengaged, suffering, or discouraged students.
  • A Gallup study showed that 77% of students in grades five through 12 said that they want to be their own boss, and 45% plan to start their own business. When we asked the same group if they believed they would "invent something that changes the world," 42% said "yes."
  • When Gallup-HOPE asked these kids if they were currently interning with a local business, 5% said "yes." So there are about 23 million kids in an entrepreneurial state of mind, but 95% of them aren't getting the attention they need to become entrepreneurs. However, our research also shows that if we can move that 5% up to 25%, we can change the world.

  • One more key point: 30 years of Gallup data show that when people have jobs that fit their talents and when they are engaged in their work, they are much, much happier. They are also more productive, healthier, and more economically profitable. If we give talented kids what they need to launch themselves as entrepreneurs and then show them how to be engaged and what their strengths are, we can guarantee them a happier, better life.

  • Working with teachers to affect a deliberate culture and practice shift from teacher-directed instruction to inquiry-based learning Alternative pedagogical development Resource identification
  • Before approaching systemic change, we first considered the most prevalent instructional models. What we saw over and over again were relatively autonomous and singular teachers working with discrete groups of students. They were using directive instruction modes designed to impart information and learning within a specific topic area, often in isolation from other topic areas, and they were having inconsistent student achievement results with inner-city middle school populations.

  • That relationship meant that, rather than working in relative isolation, our faculty worked together to create and implement standards-based projects. Rather than acting as directive teachers, our faculty members were more like coaches in a student-led inquiry environment. Rather than relying on books and worksheets, our faculty led students through a less certain learning path. Rather than perceiving critical thinking as a "result" (of directive teaching), we saw it as essentially an immersion mode in which exploration informs and develops students' thinking processes.
  • Finally, we identified student evaluation instruments to use throughout the project, including the culminating product.
  • Throughout any given project, we must be able to informally touch base at any time. Backup resources should be available (when computers fail, for example). We need to plan together in a very detailed, day-to-day way. We have to be able to easily communicate "on the fly." How we introduce the project to students is much more important than we thought (and we thought it was very important). As a teaching group, we must maintain a flexible, problem-solving attitude to productively work through the inevitable implementation challenges.
  • n addition, we are still grappling with how to best prepare our students to be successful in a project-based learning environment when they have difficulty working together cooperatively.
