EER EDCI325 Equity STEAM

  • I like to call it STEAMwork, and say to students let's maximize the TEAM in STEAM

  • some students simply don't know how to collaborate or don't have an open mindset towards working with others.
  • students where deliberately inspired, taught, and invited to collaborate, and how their success grew. She lends this, in part, as an example of how to build greater equity in our teaching/learning environments.

      Cross-curricular skills
  • roles to help children by providing some advantageous structure to the effort to help students learn to collaborate in ways that matter.
  • one issue I have with roles is that they can be too tight and not allow all students to experience every aspect of project/problem work

      Me too.
  • survey students about the roles they desire most and make teams based on the surveys.

      Great idea to include student voice/choice. This could make for a good launch to get buy-in, but I would want to nudge students out of their comfort zones after a few iterations.

shared by njcaswell on 02 Apr 18 - No Cached
  • there is growing agreement that scores on standardized tests of academic skills are incomplete measures of the important things that students learn from their teachers.
  • untested learning outcomes are measureable and that specific components of teaching influence them in nuanced and interesting ways.
  • Agency is the capacity and propensity to take purposeful initiative—the opposite of helplessness. Young people with high levels of agency do not respond passively to their circumstances; they tend to seek meaning and act with purpose to achieve the conditions they desire in their own and others’ lives.

  • Ten Practical Implications for Teaching to Develop Agency
    • njcaswell
      njcaswell on 02 Apr 18
       
      Short list of concrete steps teachers can take to build student agency
  • Young people from every background deserve teaching that enhances their agency.
  • Awareness that success in life requires agency is not new. However, we have tended as a society to treat its development as mostly a family and community responsibility, not a focus for policymakers, curriculum developers, or teacher preparation programs.

      Call to adopt agency development into the core of education policy and practice
  • Empirical findings in the report are mostly consistent with what conventional wisdom would predict
    • njcaswell
      njcaswell on 02 Apr 18
       
      It's mostly common sense
  • The Tripod 7Cs Components
  • five categories of noncognitive factors related to academic performance:
  • Students’ perspectives concerning the teaching they experience can be valid and reliable indicators of instructional quality
  • teaching predicts a variety of agency related-factors that help prepare a student for success in school and life. These include the emotions, behaviors, and motivations that the student enacts in the classroom, in addition to the development of conscientiousness, future orientation, and growth mindset.
    • njcaswell
      njcaswell on 02 Apr 18
       
      These outcomes are significantly influenced by teaching
  • For happiness, learning, and high aspirations, we need high performance on multiple teaching components.
    • njcaswell
      njcaswell on 02 Apr 18
       
      Too much emphasis on one component will be ineffective. We need high performance across components.
  • agency helps human beings fit into the environment, solve problems, develop and communicate our identities, and plan for the future. Therefore, it is fundamentally important that parents and teachers help to inspire, enable, and focus agency by the opportunities, instruction, and guidance they provide.

    "The report concerns the influence of teaching on emotions, motivations, mindsets, and behaviors that we associate with agency."
