    "Nineteen of D.C.'s strongest public and public charter school teachers gathered in a small conference room at the Microsoft Policy Center in downtown Washington, D.C. to kick off the second year of the Education Innovation Fellowship (EIF)-a program designed to introduce D.C. teachers "to the most promising innovations in blended learning."  I'm joining the cohort this year as the curator of knowledge to document the Fellowship experience through video and writing.

Thinking about scale up and growth. When is the right time? | Blend My Learning - 2 views

  • So, naturally, at this time of year I find myself deeply involved in the challenge of figuring out what programs to expand? Where should these programs be expanded to? How do we finance this growth? What other organizational goals and objectives will support blended learning program expansions? What professional development is needed to expand these programs successfully?
  • There were some major changes to the accountability measures that will be implemented – California is piloting Smarter Balanced Assessments of Common Core State Standards – and, consequently, we needed to revamp our internal benchmark measures as well as our curriculum.
  • The technology has enabled teachers to monitor student’s proficiency of discreet skills and provide personalized and targeted assignments so that fluency is not a barrier to developing conceptual understanding.

  • Not having the technology on day 1, has long lasting ramifications.
  • However, if the technology is not ready and relatively glitch free by opening day, it is not exactly confidence inspiring. And this loss of personal capital can leave a lasting impression. At the very least, it is vital that the technology staff and decision makers have a physical presence and make sure that the teachers feel 150% supported when the technology finally arrives.
  • We decided, for example, that each teacher would have a class set of Chromebooks. The teachers preferred this method of organization to some of the other proposals – e.g. each student having their own to use throughout the day – and so far this has been a huge success. Each teacher has developed a system within his or her classroom that works with the rest of his or her routines, and there has been very little breakage and zero theft.
  • This pilot also provided our tech department with some important data about our wireless infrastructure and what our schools would need in order to function in a 1 – to – 1 fashion moving forward. This is huge. I have heard of schools rolling out new 1 –to – 1 programs without this information causing the system to totally crashed, and then staff and teachers are disheartened and so on. We hope that through incremental expansion and close monitoring we can avoid this pitfall.
  • people need to learn things through experiencing the change, through making their own mistakes, and through adapting.
  • it is important to have some one, or a team, to manage the chaos, someone to say “we have been here before and this is what we said we would do should we find ourselves here again.”
  • It is important to have strong leaders in favor of this growth. Whether this be principals, superintendents or even teacher leaders, these decisions cannot be made only in an office. These decisions must be made by hearing all of the voices, hearing people’s fears and their excitement, and with an honest recognition that what worked well in on classroom or at one school, may work well at another and most certainly will end up looking at least a little bit different.

Student-Centered & Blended Learning: The Evolution of a Model…and Teacher | B... - 0 views

  • in a true SCL classroom, the teacher has, in a sense, relinquished her power.  Most vets, myself included, relish in giving an Oscar-worthy performance in front of a class.  Teachers are performers, after all.  SCL threatened that.  The teacher was now to be a facilitator of learning, with the students dictating the style in which they learned and the pace which they learned at.  Yikes.

  • Be aware of the length of the video.  Kids have a short attention span.  A golden rule is to try and keep your video under 8 minutes.  The video I submitted was 7:40.  If you have  a lot to cover, don’t be afraid of making a Part 1 and Part 2.
  • Be creative with your content.  Keep it relateable and apply it to real world interactions.
