Are You Teaching Content Or Teaching Thought? - - 3 views

  • education has a thinking problem
  • Shouldn’t a school fail to function without urgent and divergent thinking?
  • our curriculum is content.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • If our job is to teach critical thinking, design, and problem-solving–fluid intelligence–then thinking is our collective circumstance, and our curriculum becomes thought.
  • To learn to think, students need powerful and inspiring models that reflect the design, citizenship, creativity, interdependence, affection, and self-awareness we claim to want them to have. To teach careful, creative, and truly innovative thinking, students need creative spaces and tools, and frameworks to develop their own criteria for quality and success. They need dynamic literacy skills that they practice and build upon endlessly. Not projects that have creativity and design thinking added on, but projects that can’t function without them. And they need control of it all.
  • Can we simply “update” things as we go, or is it time for rethinking of our collective practice?

    Not sure I agree with Natasha on her "crit" of design thinking. Not sure her retorts to some of the examples hold water. Would love to hear your takeaways from this video, Bo. I like her endpoint, about designers surrounding themselves with evidence of their work and their high standards, but not much else.

shared by T.J. Edwards on 18 May 16 - No Cached
  • The students walked the whole team through Design Thinking by using the process to solve a problem with us. That was a moment of clarity for me. It is like the scientific method for makers!
  • I found  AJ Juliani’s “Launch” framework
  • We need to understand that being creative and solving problems takes time and effort. The agency for the students is in their ability to create the content they want anywhere and anytime, and take it as far as they want.

  • identifying ways that STEAM, CTE, and PBL have a unique three-way symbiotic relationship
  • So, with CTE, one or more of the STE(A)M subjects naturally is embedded within it, especially when applied to key knowledge, understanding, & success skills. Sound familiar? That’s the focus at the center of Gold Standard PBL! So what about the Essential Project Design Elements of PBL as applying STE(A)M within CTE?
  • what if an Engineering and Architecture Pathway student was asked to use CAD to design a home using passive solar construction techniques, much like the Anasazi did before electricity and indoor plumbing?
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Integrating CTE and STE(A)M in this manner raises the bar to the rigorous level of PBL.
  • Then I realized that all of the CTE industry sectors have these same standards, so they apply to STE(A)M and PBL in the same manner as the example above from Architecture and Engineering.
  • T.J. Edwards on 09 Sep 16
     
    Makes me happy that Career Tech is mentioned as a vehicle for more rigorous PBL and STEAM and not as a program for "underachievers"
