    f all the initiatives a school can begin, integrating technology may require the most professional development. This is partly because of the equipment, hardware, and software involved and partly because of the shift that a teacher must make in his or her teaching style, technique, and planning process in order to effectively use technology in the classroom.

  • What a teacher can do – all a teacher can do – is work with students to create a classroom culture, a climate, a curriculum that will nourish and sustain the fundamental inclinations that everyone starts out with:  to make sense of oneself and the world, to become increasingly competent at tasks that are regarded as consequential, to connect with (and express oneself to) other people.  Motivation – at least intrinsic motivation -- is something to be supported, or if necessary revived.
  • a few specific suggestions for bringing students in on making decisions, offered here in the hope that they will spark you to think of others in the same spirit:
  • Bring students in on the process of assessment by asking them to join you in thinking about alternatives to conventional tests.  “How can you show me what you understood, where you still need help, and what I may need to rethink about how I taught the unit?”  Beyond the format of the assessment, invite them as a class to suggest criteria by which someone’s work might be evaluated – and, later, have them apply those criteria to what they’ve done.

  • Strive to take pleasure and pride from how you help students to learn and become excited about learning, not just from the curriculum itself

    By Alfie Kohn and referred by Scott McLeod. Article from English Journal. This guys is a radical thinker, but i agree with many of his points and think they are food for thought. The highlighted stuff is just a tease, and really, it isn't just about literature either. It is about perspective

  • the student’s task in such classrooms is “comprehending how the teacher has integrated or applied the ideas… and [then] reconstruct[ing] the teacher’s thinking.”
  • f your criteria are more ambitious — long-term retention of what’s been taught, the capacity to understand ideas and apply them to new kinds of problems, a desire to continue learning — the relative benefits of progressive education are even greater.[5]
  • It took me years to realize [that my] classroom was all about me, not about the kids. It was about teaching, not about learning.”

  • projects in which they took a high degree of initiative
  • they may be impressed by the wrong things, reassured by signs of traditionalism — letter grades, spelling quizzes, heavy textbooks, a teacher in firm control of the classroom — and unnerved by their absence
  • homework assigned only when it’s absolutely necessary to extend and enrich a lesson, or is it assigned on a regular basis (as in a traditional school)?  If homework is given, are the assignments predicated on – and justified by -- a behaviorist model of “reinforcing” what they were taught – or do they truly deepen students’ understanding of, and engagement with, ideas?  How much of a role do the students play in making decisions about homework?
