    Time's annual series on the future of something. This year it's work and the workplace. Especially interesting is the notion of where will work will occur.

    What do you think of this? For the best part of the article, be sure to read the comments.

    Interesting article and comments but it all just makes me mad. I work to hard everyday and spend to much time away from my baby to hear constant criticisms about teaching, especially when I go above and beyond to put everything online yet no one ever looks at it. Great now I"m annoyed Thanks Pat :) LOL not your fault.
  • Patrick Higgins on 22 Dec 09
     
    Danielle, Sorry about that; the intent was not to upset you, but rather to let everyone see that there is a balancing act that is going on all over the country. One of the commentors stated that "this is here to stay, so everyone get used to it," and while I didn't appreciate his or her closed tone, he or she has a point: it's here. Finding a balance between what is communicated, how it is communicated, and how to best maximize the time we spend doing the communicating in addition to the lives that we lead outside of school is now a huge issue. It is now a major discussion point in many of the meetings I attend, and I think the answer will come out after we muddle through it for a little while. There are so many new changes this year regarding openness and transparency, I think we will find that balance after a bit of trial and error with it.

  • "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.

  • “The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider.’ ” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”

      This is the part that we can really instill in our students: a sense of wonder that permeates all they do. How do we do it? My idea would be to tap into their passions. What do they go for? Also, one of the jobs of schools is to expose students to things they would not normally be exposed to. This can create new habits and new wonder.
  • The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of thought.

  • Ms. Ryan and Ms. Markova have found what they call three zones of existence: comfort, stretch and stress. Comfort is the realm of existing habit. Stress occurs when a challenge is so far beyond current experience as to be overwhelming. It’s that stretch zone in the middle — activities that feel a bit awkward and unfamiliar — where true change occurs.

      This is Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development where our students are stressed to the point of learning, but not beyond it.

  • 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.
