  • they do not understand what to do or why they should do it. Teachers should spend more time explaining why we teach what we do, and why the topic or approach or activity is important and

      Students need to have a purpose/reason- jumping through hoops does not motivate many students.
  • Everyone likes the feeling of accomplishment and recognition; rewards for good work produce those good feelings.

      I have found that in many cases it is the praise or acknowledgement of good behavior or good work- the reward is physical evidence of that- the kids do not care about the value of the reward. In fact often the crummier the reward the more they enjoy it.
  • If you can make something fun, exciting, happy, loving, or perhaps even a bit frightening, students will learn more readily and the learning will last much longer

      This makes me think of some of the field work our students have experienced- makes learning more relevant.

  • One of the major keys to motivation is the active involvement of students in their own learning.

      This sounds a lot like expeditionary learning.

      Yes, if the student does not have needs met and feel they are safe/secure then learning does not happen.

  • The instructional concepts should be broad-based, not focused on minute details or unlimited facts. Teachers must focus on the concepts, principles and skills that students should learn. The content of instruction should address the same concepts with all students, but the degree of complexity should be adjusted to suit diverse learners.

      I often find that teachers struggle to identify different concent for learners because they are overly focused on the facts of the assessment rather than the concepts in the standard. If we can always articulate to learners what they are going to learn in broad terms we may be better able to see that the concept can be covered at varying levels of complexity. I found with middle school students the easiest content differentiation was providing different reading materials to different students about the same theme.
  • Differentiated instruction is a process to teaching and learning for students of differing abilities in the same class.

  • “We try to put the single child in the centre and challenge every child,” he says. “We let each child work in the learning style that is preferable for them.”
  • Cellphones are permitted and the youngest students are each given a laptop or tablet. Older students are free to come and go from school as they please, as long as they stay in touch with teachers by smartphone
  • all about equipping students with 21st century skills, such as synthesizing large amounts of information accessible online and working on problems with groups. “Our philosophy is that we have to give students academic skills, but just as important are social and personal skills.”

  • Understand the four types of homework. Know when and why to have students practice: Memorization of basic rules, algorithms, or laws so the skill becomes rote. Increase in skill speed, used for improving students' abilities to apply these skills in more complex problem solving. Deepening understanding of a concept—providing students time to read further, elaborating on a new idea and expanding their understanding. Preparation for the following day's learning, such as an advance organizer or cue to increase readiness for new information.
  • Practice means students are engaged in applying new learning, often repeatedly

      This sounds a lot like sped steps of skill acquisition: introduce the skill/concept, practice till mastery (usually 90%) then after mastered, practice for fluency, which is when skills can be timed.

  • Differentiated instruction is a teaching philosophy based on the premise that teachers should adapt instruction to student differences. Rather than marching students through the curriculum in lockstep, teachers should modify their instruction to meet students' varying readiness levels, learning preferences, and interests.

    Marzano's meta analysis of "what works" studies created a short list of practices that were demonstrated to have a consistent and significant effect size on student learning outcomes. Homework is one of those. Get ideas here on homework technology resources and see the other practices in Marzano's list.
