    A growth mindset is the secret to maximizing potential. Want to grow your staff? Give them tasks above their ability. They don't think they could do it? Tell them you expect them to work at it for a while, struggle with it. That it will take more time than the tasks they're used to doing. That you expect they'll make some mistakes along the way. But you know they could do it.

Educational Leadership:Giving Students Meaningful Work:Seven Essentials for Project-Bas... - 1 views

  • A classroom filled with student posters may suggest that students have engaged in meaningful learning. But it is the process of students' learning and the depth of their cognitive engagement— rather than the resulting product—that distinguishes projects from busywork.

      I think this is a key distinction between a project and a PBL.  Making a poster is not enough.  PBL is about the process by which students arrive at that poster.

      REALLY glad the article got off its "posters = bad" horse and acknowledged just what Jason articulates here -- the process is the important thing. If it's a poster or not isn't really the issue... it's what goes into the creation of the poster, wiki, video, etc. that is most important. The way the article was structured rhetorically almost turned me off entirely, as it targeted a MEDIUM, not a METHODOLOGY.
  • A project is meaningful if it fulfills two criteria. First, students must perceive the work as personally meaningful, as a task that matters and that they want to do well. Second, a meaningful project fulfills an educational purpose. Well-designed and well-implemented project-based learning is meaningful in both ways.

      I think it is important that sutdents have a buy in.  The more invested they are - the more interested they can get in the project - the better the product they will develop.

      I highlighted a few key phrases
  • If teachers are going to refuse to do something students expect, especially if students think it’s something they believe makes the learning easier, how teachers refuse to help is important. “I will help, but not until you’ve got some answers, part of the solution, a few examples.” “I am not going to give you the answers, but I will give you feedback on your answers. By the end of class, we’ll have a set of good answers.”
    • Jason Friedman

      I really like this part.  Having a strong method is good but communicating that to ones students is paramount.  Some might be perceptive and pick up what's going on but it is short sighted to expect all students to make that connection on their own.

Three lessons from the science of how to teach writing | Education By The Numbers - 5 views

    Troubled by the vagueness in some places, but it's a review of an unpublished paper that's in press, so reading the original would solve a lot of that. #2 - This is dangerous, I think, without a lot more context. The rationales given for "why" were all completely speculative, and the evaluation was based on readers. Again, love to see the numbers/controls used. A big one for ESL (which I'm sure this doesn't address, and which is problematic on a whole different level, of course) is that the definition of "word processing" -- DOES it include using grammar/spell check? Controls could include NOT using MS Word or its ilk, but instead just typing in email or a form, or using TextEdit. Another could be the relative ages of the readers -- has a whole generation been "Microsoftened"? #3 I'd absolutely need more evidence to buy into completely. The real issue that is not addressed is CONTEXT. If I teach you the physics of internal combustion, I'm not going to expect that you can now fix a car... unless I do a lab on fixing car engines to go along with that physics lesson. I'd hold that the same could apply -- but we don't know if THAT study has even been attempted.
