Pedagogy of Place - 4 views

  •  
    Though not directly related to teaching, I wanted to post this piece because I've seen "pedagogy of place" tagged several times. This is one of those few articles that I always keep nearby because I yearn to read it so often. It really strikes a chord within me when I think of what it means to be "committed" to a place. I've never directly used it with my class, though it has certainly influenced my thinking when I've created place-based activities for my students. I would love to talk about it with anyone else who falls in love with it :)

    Laine & Josh, this seems to run inline with the Pedagogy of Place idea both of you have been so interested in as a result of your training and interest in Durham.

      There's a ton of Montessori elements in this project. I wonder how we can get our students more into the FLOW, I think that this a component that we're missing.

    Short video on digital writing -- Anca, this makes me think of your interest in leading film studies and producing documentaries with the students.. Taken from NYC Writing Project -- What I appreciate most about this video is the way it clearly demonstrates a "both/and" mentality toward print and digital tools, and increases my interest in parallel pedagogy.

Education Week: Common-Core Work Must Include Teacher Development - 1 views

  • Yet a fundamental contradiction underlies the progress: While we are promoting radical change in creating a coherent national framework for what students should know and the way they learn, we have not yet committed to offering teachers the deep learning they will need to transform the way they work.
  • oo many plans for supporting the transition to the common core read more like communication plans than serious road maps for preparing educators to teach the standards.
  • "What made you think you could transform teacher practice and student learning with traditional models of professional development?"

      Exactly why we need to do our own PLN, it has to model what's expected of the students

  • we will not achieve the outcomes we expect and need without comprehensive professional learning for educators that supports the new standards. The dramatic shift in teaching prompted by the common core will require practical, intensive, and ongoing professional learning

      I think the emphasis on the shifts will be even more important than the stds
  • teachers will need to employ instructional strategies
  • They will need subject-area expertise well beyond basic content knowledge and pedagogy to create dynamic, engaging, high-level learning experiences for students.
  • their leaders will need to champion professional learning in their buildings and back the teachers who coach and support each other.
  • Administrators and teachers working together plan, execute, and assess professional learning.
  • It is collective and collaborative within and across buildings, so the quality of instruction improves consistently from classroom to classroom and from school to school. It includes time for teachers to learn from each other, examine research and effective practices, and problem-solve. It demands leadership from teachers as coaches and mentors, while continuing to tap the knowledge of outside experts and resources.
