The Four Rs: Rigor in Twenty-First-Century Schools | Edutopia - 0 views

  • We believe curriculum becomes rigorous when students are pushed not only to know information but also to apply and demonstrate their understanding of that information. We believe that requiring students to reflect on and analyze their thinking and learning might be the most challenging task you can require of a teenager.

    Annenberg media programs that span all aspects of the curriculum. Designed around adult learners, it seems, but great for self-directed learners.

  • "Adolescents entering the adult world in the 21st century will read and write more than at any other time in human history. They will need advanced levels of literacy to perform their jobs, run their households, act as citizens, and conduct their personal lives."

      Let's not forget, also, about the "why?"
  • Content is what we teach, but there is also the how, and this is where literacy instruction comes in.

  • Students possess knowledge about written language and a variety of forms of writing; quality instruction reflects students’ experience and knowledge.
  • Writing is a social activity; writing instruction should be embedded in social contexts. Students can take responsibility in shaping the classroom structures that facilitate their work.
  • Writing is effectively used as a tool for thinking and learning throughout the curriculum.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Assessment that both benefits individual writers and their teachers’ instructional planning is embedded within curricular experiences and represented by collections of key pieces of writing created over time.
  • Authors and teachers who write can offer valuable insights to students by mentoring them into process and making their own writing processes more visible.
  • Technology provides writers the opportunity to create and present writing in new and increasingly flexible ways, particularly in combination with other media.
