  • “Treat students like adults. If the students feel like they’re worth it they’ll act more like adults.

      Charter schools are an attempt to address Illich's vision, but these are often more focused on schooling and less a trasformation of schools
  • I intend to show that the inverse of school is possible: that we can depend on self-motivated learning instead of employing teachers to bribe or compel the student to find the time and the will to learn; that we can provide the learner with new links to the world instead of continuing to funnel all educational programs through the teacher.
  • schools are fundamentally alike in all countries, be they fascist, democratic or socialist, big or small, rich or poor.

  • his identity of the school system forces us to recognize the profound world-wide identity of myth, mode of production, and method of social control, despite the great variety of mythologies in which the myth finds expression.
  • The alternative to dependence on schools is not the use of public resources for some new device which "makes" people learn; rather it is the creation of a new style of educational relationship between man and his environment. To foster this style, attitudes toward growing up, the tools available for learning, and the quality and structure of daily life will have to change concurrently.

      Many of these Brain Targets require a minimum of change in the classroom

      I like how the author broke it down to give quick ways to do these ideas!

      Technology lends itself to timely feedback.
  • Usable classroom translation: Give students the big picture; visually represent the connections between previous knowledge and new learning; indicate relationships among learning goals.
  • Usable classroom translation: make regular changes in your classroom such as seating arrangements, wall displays

  • Usable classroom translation: stress impedes learning
  • Usable classroom translation: Creativity can be taught but it builds on a body of content knowledge being mastered. Interweave information and thinking in all content areas; show real world applications, move away from simple, single-answer problems to encourage divergent solutions.

      I think this is an important piece - being able to apply info. is true learning.

      Interesting targets to teach the way the brain learns...
  • When you’re standing in front of a classroom of students who’re not quite sure they even want to be in your class, much less pay attention to what’s being said
  • Brain Target 2: Creating the Physical Learning Environment
  • Brain Target 1: Establish the emotional climate for learning
  • Brain Target 3: Designing the Learning Experience
  • Neuroscience: The brain feels before it thinks. The amygdala (think fight/flight) receives stimuli 40 milliseconds
  • Neuroscience: The brain craves novelty. Posner & Rothbart, 2007); lighting, background noise impact on attention;
  • Neuroscience behind it: The brain looks for patterns between known and unknown information (Posner & Rothbart
  • Brain Target 4: Teaching for Mastery
  • Neuroscience behind it: In order for information to be retained it must make its way from short-term to long-term memory.
  • Brain Target 5: Teaching for the Extension Neuroscience behind it: The brain is plastic. Significant changes occur in the brain due to repeated sensory experience (Fu & Zuo,2011, Karmarkar & Dan, 2006)
  • Brain Target 6: Evaluating Learning Neuroscience behind it: Assessments provides feedback that informs and motivates students; retrieval of information recruits memory systems, reinforcing memory for that information.

      Making connections between new and old information is so integral to helping students learn.
