    You are invited to join our new professional development blog; enter the conversation and write posts about important issues that focus your learning and help other CAIS colleagues. Think of our blog as a faculty lounge for all CAIS educators. It's our venue to share professional learning, ask questions, and give advice:  [ http://caisct.wordpress.com/ ]http://caisct.wordpress.com/ Just as an "unconference" moves forward with a participant driven spirit, the Commission of Professional Development created this blog to be a forum for CAIS educators to exchange thoughts, questions and insights about important issues in our learning communities. Email [ mailto:bsullivan@suffieldacademy.org ]bsullivan@suffieldacademy.org for a simple step to becoming a member of this blog. What do we hope this blog will become? An opportunity for CAIS educators to jettison inhibitions that they may have about "writing in the social media" world and break into the digital forum by sharing the wisdom we know exists among CAIS minds. Click on this Edutopia link for an example of a dynamic blog for educators:  [ http://www.edutopia.org/blog/balancing-work-and-life-teacher-elena-aguilar ]http://www.edutopia.org/blog/balancing-work-and-life-teacher-elena-aguilar Imagine that the above content of that post and comments were specific to CAIS educators-perhaps from a colleague! The content would be so useful. Moving forward, the CAIS blog will host interesting topics with comment threads that relate to the contexts of CAIS learning communities because CAIS educators know a great deal about teaching and learning. The blog will also be another lens to design professional development programs. The CPD wants to read your posts. Also sign up for updates by clicking on the "Follow Blog via Email" hyperlink so that you can follow your colleagues: [ http://caisct.wordpress.com/ ]http://caisct.wordpress.com/

    Perhaps the 21st Century group would be interested in reading this and discussing these questions along the way. Nice framework.

  • the leader has not set clear objectives or an agenda, and didn’t assign pre-meeting preparation tasks.
  • it is certain that every organization has too many meetings, and far too many poorly designed ones
  • Whoever calls a meeting should be explicit about its objectives.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • After productive or unproductive meetings, assign credit or blame to the person in charge.
  • many meetings serve a cultural function, allowing participants to renew social connections, establish relationships, verify the social order and deepen a sense of belonging

  • Each month, these seven teachers get together and watch video clips from their classrooms on computer monitors or television screens….A video club is a group of teachers who meet on a regular basis to view and discuss video segments from their classrooms. In a video club, the group establishes the goals, then tapes and selects the video segments for viewing. Ensuring productive learning experiences for teachers requires careful design and facilitation.

  • they are expected to graduate with the habits of mind—curiosity, skepticism, compassion, wonder—that will prepare them to be better physicians
  • About half of all medical knowledge becomes obsolete every five years. Every 15 years, the world’s body of scientific literature doubles.
  • better integration of formal knowledge and clinical experience and a learning process that is individualized, not one-size-fits-all
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • One of the goals of this whole model—of having students do a lot of the learning themselves rather than passively listening—is that they need to be lifelong learners
  • Gone is the traditional 50-minute lecture. (Also gone is paper, for the most part.) The students have completed the assigned reading beforehand and, because they’ve absorbed the facts on their own, class time serves another purpose. Self-assessment tests at the start of class measure how well they understand the material. Then it’s time to do a test case, to reinforce their critical thinking and push their knowledge and skills to another level.
  • The room’s interactive technology allows her to link to students’ laptops; it also enables their work to be broadcast onto the big screens. Instead of a blackboard, she can use a document camera, which is like an overhead projector, allowing her to write or draw a diagram that will project on the screens. Absentees can view a podcast of the session.
  • We’re trying to create a situation in which they are thinking as a physician working with a patient, not as a professional test taker,
  • Immediately following the exercise, students move to a separate room where, still highly energized, they watch the video and reflect on their decision making as physicians in that particular situation.
  • studies in modern learning theory indicate that hour-long lectures are not the best way to teach students because the average attention span for listening to one is about 12 minutes.
  • The circular learning studio, Pollart notes, is designed for learning, not teaching.
  • There was some initial resistance. Some faculty felt a little offended

    a lot of these ideas are applicable to k-12
