Transcript of 21st century learning 6 12

Prepared Especially for the Secondary Professional Learning Community of

MIDDLESEX COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS by Dan Mulligan, Ed. D.

MOVING from ETCH-a SKETCH Learning

To Each STUDENT UNDERSTANDING

Opportunity to Learn

• Three types of curricula were identified by SIMS & TIMS:• The Intended Curriculum: content/skill specified by the state,

division, or school at a particular grade level.• The Implemented Curriculum: content/skill actually delivered

by the teacher.• The Attained Curriculum: content/skill actually learned by the

students.

“Seven Survival Skills for the New Economy”~Tony Wagner, The Global Achievement Gap

1. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving 2. Collaboration across Networks and Leading by

Influence 3. Agility and Adaptability 4. Initiative and Entrepreneurialism 5. Effective Oral and Written Communication 6. Accessing and Analyzing Information 7. Curiosity and Imagination

“Rigor” is using academic knowledge to create new knowledge/content and to solve real problems.

“Engagement” begins with the MIND, not with the HANDS (that is a very loose paraphrase) — activities & action do not equal “rigor”

Mission Statement:

The Middlesex County Public School System is committed to providing challenging

opportunities to fulfill the developmental needs of our unique, culturally diverse

students. We will ensure that each child’s potential is maximized through various learning strategies in a safe and orderly

environment that will enable them to succeed in a global society.

Stacking Cups Supplies

Please send a team member to obtain the supplies for your team.

Stacking Cups Supplies

Team Task: Your team task is to create the pyramid of cups (illustrated above);• without touching the cups;• using each of the 6 pieces of string and the rubber band;• each team member must participate in the solution.

Team Procedure:• analyze and reach consensus on a method of solution;• value each person’s opinion and contribution;•After consensus, execute (modify as needed) your team’s plan.

Self-Assessment Tool

Moving BEYOND“the correct answer”

My only skill is taking tests.

The value of teacher teams analyzing student achievement data to improve TEACHING and LEARNING is dependent on the VALIDITY and

RELIABILITY of the assessment used to generate the achievement data.

Main Myth about Learning

Some part of the learner’s anatomy must be in contact with the chair in order for learning to take place!

“If you don’t know where you are and you don’t know where you are going, anything you do will get you there”

“If you don’t know where you are and you don’t know where you are going, anything you do will get you there”

Steps:1. Find a person currently not seated next to you. Make friends

2. This person is now your FOUR-SECOND PARTNER!

Instructional Strategies that Facilitate Successful InclusionSuccessful Inclusion Must …

• Supply students with STRUCTURE and ORGANIZATION

• Encourage student COMMUNICATION and COLLABORATION

• Provide students with VISUAL and HANDS-ON learning experiences

Summarizing and Note TakingSummarizing and Note Taking

• Generalizations form the research:

– Verbatim note-taking is, perhaps, the least effective technique.

– Notes should be considered a work in progress.

– Notes should be used as a study guide for tests.

– The more notes that are taken, the better.
