Education Experts Explain the Role Teachers Would Play for Students in Classrooms in a ... - 0 views
-
With so many different learning styles and students at different places in their learning within a grade and within subjects, students and schools will benefit greatly from co-teaching models.
-
Individual teachers will not be responsible for individual students as much as the team of teachers will be responsible for the learning outcomes of each student they touch within the school day.
-
The notion of “teacher” will change significantly in the future. The growing number of formal and informal learning options is causing an unbundling of the teacher role.

Why Curiosity Matters - 1 views
-
And socially curious employees are better than others at resolving conflicts with colleagues, more likely to receive social support, and more effective at building connections, trust, and commitment on their teams. People or groups high in both dimensions are more innovative and creative.
-
joyous exploration, deprivation sensitivity, stress tolerance, and social curiosity—improve work outcomes.
-
joyous exploration has the strongest link with the experience of intense positive emotions. Stress tolerance has the strongest link with satisfying the need to feel competent, autonomous, and that one belongs. Social curiosity has the strongest link with being a kind, generous, modest person.

NAIS - One School's Conversation About Open Gradebook - 1 views

The critical difference is that at Harpeth Hall, and most likely any all-girls school, we know a student’s numeric average at any given moment will never provide the whole picture of her educational journey
-
At this time, we can find no research showing that open gradebooks have improved students’ grades or helped teachers know their students better.

The current system, while technically old-fashioned, preserves the teacher-student relationship and still allows students to have ownership.

Assessment in Making | Edutopia - 1 views
-
Traditional direct instruction focuses on content knowledge, while maker-centered learning orients around the learner's context.
-
Perhaps some memorization of key facts is necessary, but we must set our sights beyond box checking and move toward connection with peers, toward empathy, problem solving, and working through frustrations in pursuit of a deeper, richer understanding of both content and self.

Let 'Em Out! The Many Benefits of Outdoor Play In Kindergarten | MindShift | KQED News - 0 views
-
With no explicit math or literacy taught until first grade, the Swiss have no set goals for kindergartners beyond a few measurements, like using scissors and writing one’s own name. They instead have chosen to focus on the social interaction and emotional well-being found in free play.
-
With many parents and educators overwhelmed by the amount of academics required for kindergartners — and the testing requirements at that age — it’s no surprise that the forest kindergarten, and the passion for bringing more free play to young children during the school day, is catching on stateside.
-
“So much of what is going on and the kind of play they do, symbolic play, is really pre-reading,” Molomot said. “It’s a very important foundation for reading.

The perils of "Growth Mindset" education: Why we're trying to fix our kids when we shou... - 0 views
-
The problem with sweeping, generic claims about the power of attitudes or beliefs isn’t just a risk of overstating the benefits but also a tendency to divert attention from the nature of the tasks themselves: How valuable are they, and who gets to decide whether they must be done?
-
Unfortunately, even some people who are educators would rather convince students they need to adopt a more positive attitude than address the quality of the curriculum (what the students are being taught) or the pedagogy (how they’re being taught it).

Breadth and Depth: Can We Have It Both Ways? - Learning Deeply - Education Week - 0 views
-
There may be ways to have it both ways. On further reflection, it seems as if breadth and depth are much more intertwined then they initially appear; it is not possible to become a deep inquirer in a subject without some broader understanding that goes around the specific thing you are exploring.
-
The T represents people who are moderately knowledgeable across a domain, and deeply knowledgeable within a strand of that domain.
-
Essential questions that force integration of breadth and depth -- Imagine if you took that same 9th grade "Mesopotamia to the French Revolution" course and organized it instead around the following essential question: "Why do civilizations rise and fall?"
Understand How Badges Affect College Admissions - - 0 views

Where badging might most upend traditions, however, is in kindergarten through 12th grades, particularly in how students build portfolios for themselves and use those portfolios to apply to college.
-
A world in which everything a student does, whether inside or outside of school, can be measured and categorized by a digital badge would – with a common set of standards and if viewed as legitimate by colleges and universities – greatly change the college admissions process, as well as how students think about learning.

Is There a "Future of Work"? - 0 views

the speed and scale are going to shock those in education charged with preparing our children for it.

Like so many other things that we think of in the future tense, (climate change, surveillance, etc.) the changes in work have already arrived, we just don’t seem to realize it

For students to take critical feedback constructively, they have to believe that it is possible for them to improve.
-
school’s assessment and feedback philosophy can encourage a sense of belonging as well as promote a culture that embraces all students as capable of growing and improving as thinkers, learners, and doers. To build on the authentic social justice work being done in our schools and to make real progress in our efforts to create inclusive and equitable communities, we must adopt and employ assessment practices that support this work.
