  • Here, I start with the hermeneutic notion of how we act in the world and learn. We start with things well-practiced, but if we have a problem, a breakdown, we look for an answer.

      Clark Quinn provides an interesting beginning to our desire to learn. When we find our usual way of doing things is not working, we attempt to learn something new.

  • I hope that the space in the Virtual Classroom Project enables students to build upon their knowledge that they may have gained from a textbook, history book, documentary or museum visit by critically analysing, debating and deciding upon the way their understanding of the past is represented.

  • United States Is Substantially Behind Other Nations in Providing Teacher Professional Development That Improves Student Learning; Report Identifies Practices that Work
  • Every year, nine in 10 of the nation’s three million teachers participate in professional development designed to improve their content knowledge, transform their teaching, and help them respond to student needs. These activities, which can include workshops, study groups, mentoring, classroom observations, and numerous other formal and informal learning experiences, have mixed results in how they effect student achievement.
  • embedded in the work of collaborative professional learning teams that support ongoing improvements in teachers’ practice and student achievement.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • the type of support and on-the-job training most teachers receive is episodic, often fragmented, and disconnected from real problems of practice.
  • Teachers lack time and opportunities to view each other’s classrooms, learn from mentors, and work collaboratively,”
  • “The research tells us that teachers need to learn the way other professionals do—continually, collaboratively, and on the job. The good news is that we can learn from what some states and most high-performing nations are doing.”
  • Professional Learning in the Learning Profession: A Status Report on Teacher Development in the U.S. and Abroad
  • Research shows that professional development should not be approached in isolation as the traditional “flavor of the month” or one-shot workshop but go hand-in-hand with school improvement efforts
  • U.S. teachers report little professional collaboration in designing curriculum and sharing practices, and the collaboration that occurs tends to be weak and not focused on strengthening teaching and learning.
  • Teachers are not getting adequate training in teaching special education or limited English proficient students
  • United States is far behind in providing public school teachers with opportunities to participate in extended learning opportunities and productive collaborative communities. Those opportunities allow teachers to work together on instructional planning, learn from one another through mentoring or peer coaching, conduct research on the outcomes of classroom practices, and collectively guide curriculum, assessment, and professional learning decisions
  • other nations provide: • Extensive opportunities for formal and informal in-service development. • Time for professional learning and collaboration built into teachers’ work hours. • Professional development activities that are ongoing and embedded in teachers’ contexts. • School governance structures that support the involvement of teachers in decisions regarding curriculum and instructional practice. • Teacher induction programs for new teachers that include release time for new teachers and mentors, and formal training of mentors.
  • U.S. teachers average far more net teaching time in direct contact with students (1,080 hours per year) than any other OECD nation
