Teachers will have to learn new strategies for helping all students reach to a higher level of thinking.  There will be more work on interpreting, explaining, reasoning with evidence, drawing conclusions, summarizing, and evaluating. Lessons will have to be designed that address ways for teachers to develop the curiosity, investigations, and innovative thinking that the common core standards call for.  Use of technology as a way to stimulate students’ thinking will be an important aspect of new lesson designs.

What Does a Whole Child-Centered School Look Like? - Education - GOOD - 2 views

www.good.is/...hild-centered-school-look-like

shared by sheldon reynolds on 23 Apr 12 - No Cached

Like any school, there are always challenges, but instead of solving problems in isolation, the staff addresses them through weekly, highly focused and efficient 45-minute meetings. Teachers discuss their instruction, identify struggling students, and look at ways to support learning gaps. Rawnsley says these meetings have been critical to the development of many of the innovative programs that address the academic and social needs of students, like those supporting English language learners.

  One thing I find interesting about this is that it highlights one issue we do NOT touch on in our PLCs. Struggling students... I would love to see PLCs as a time to bring together the problems/roadblocks/challenges we are facing and address them as a group with strategies.

  The struggling student part of this struck me as well, it's something I've been thinking about a lot because I feel it is an area that I need to build more strength. To me it goes back to the questions we should be asking ourselves constantly: How do we know our students are learning? AND If they are not learning, what are we doing about it? This is something we need to bring to the front of our PLC thinking so that we can support our struggling learners.

pre-recording certain topics that students consistently ask about, such as "How do I get to Google Docs?" and "What does MLA formatting look like?" Then, instead of having to answer the question over and over, teachers can simply point those students to a video.

For some teachers, that is pre-recording lectures and doing hands-on activities in class. For others, it is presenting information and then supplementing the more difficult aspects of the lesson with videos

I also see pre-recordings as useful in math where prerequisite skills need to be revisited and/or taught.
