    Grades are just a math game. This is what I told students many years ago. "If you know how to work the numbers, you can get a good grade."

    I have been following Mark Barnes and Starr Sackstein this year, they are doing really amazing things in their classrooms and moving away from grades. They co-moderate a group on Facebook called "Teachers Throwing out Grades" and have a Twitter Chat Monday nights at 7 #TTOG - it is worth checking out!

    In the past few years, parents, teachers, and policy makers have furiously debated whether standardized tests should be used to promote or hold back children, fire teachers, and withhold funds from schools. The debate has focused for the most part on whether the tests are being used in unfair ways.

The inconvenient truth about personalized learning | Christensen Institute - 0 views

www.christenseninstitute.org/th-about-personalized-learning personalizedlearning
shared by Derek Doucet on 12 May 16 - No Cached
  • Personalized learning is quickly gaining steam among educators, philanthropists, and policymakers. The promise of a personalized education system is enormous: we are witnessing an era when new school models and structures, often supported by technology, can tailor learning experiences to each student and allow students more choice in how they access and navigate those experiences.
  • But we’ve found that amidst the enthusiasm for personalized learning models, there’s a less talked-about aspect of the education system that will need to shift to make these models viable: education research.
  • In a new white paper out this week, “A blueprint for breakthroughs,” Michael Horn and I argue that simply asking what works stops short of the real question at the heart of a truly personalized system: what works, for which students, in what circumstances?
  • Derek Doucet on 12 May 16
     
    It's though provoking look at personalized learning. I think that studies can definitely be pushed because if you're assessing students in a standardized way - then that's an issue in and of itself.

  • I believe that helping our students to find their way a growth mindset is so important it must become one of the pillars of our math teaching
  • The bottom line is this: if you believe that a learner can simply let go of their fixed mindset just because you tell them to, then I have a bridge to sell you.
  • start developing a more mindful approach to helping students engage with a growth mindset.

  • The only successful way to work with defense mechanisms — the only way that has been shown to bring about long-term inner change, either in a therapeutic or in an inner development context, such as mindfulness — involves empowering learners to gently and non-coercively notice their own defense mechanisms when they pop up.
