Since my federally-funded contract was already nearing completion, I’ve been working with David Connerty-Marin and Jeff Mao…[Read more]

Thank you for presenting the argument before us since it seems to surface in every community where these discussions are occurring which is indeed healthy and essential to the process of public discourse and the cultural change of public education we are embracing and documenting.
My first premise is that “people only know what they know”…[Read more]

Learner-Centered Education 4 months agoI had a very interesting, challenging and perhaps disturbing exchange with another group of educators recently. The question was “Do you really believe that all students can learn to proficiency through what you’ve identified as the learning targets required for graduation?” (Just in case you are wondering we all agreed identified students had…[Read more]

It’s a bit intimidating to respond to this comment, as the correct answer is spelled out for me. But perhaps the teachers’ prevarication came from a place of frustration that I share. Sure, all students can learn. But can all students learn everything you want them to at the same rate and finish a standard in tme to graduate with physics…[Read more]

Thanks for your feedback Christine. I understand your frustration, and perhaps there is no “correct answer”, yet the alternatives are difficult to accept. To lower or remove the requirement bar for individual students without an identified disability seems like giving up on them, and might set a precedent that becomes more about the adults…[Read more]
-
I should add that I believe that clear, transparent curriculum as defined by common core, Next Gen Science standards, etc and the implications of a standards-based transcript cause additional anxiety as perhaps we can’t teach favorite topics and ignore others and average deficiencies at a course level any longer. We are shining the flashlight into…[Read more]

Learner-Centered Education 5 months agoThe iNACVOL and CompetencyWorks writers have collected significant data and recorded interesting and beneficial observations for Learner Centered districts to consider. The “paper” provides multi-state examples of such initiatives and also highlights Maine educators who have embraced this concept.

Learner-Centered Education 5 months, 2 weeks agoGary raises some very interesting and compelling points. Proof of Concept does not always and only suggest test scores since most test are memory based on recall of facts figures names dates and places. This same concern was raised with the advent of the MLTI program and student laptops. Scores in writing did indeed increase because the tech-based…[Read more]

It feels paradoxical but it isn’t. OUR ”growth” mindset means that we believe that even people who BELIEVE in a ”fixed” mindset continue to learn vibrantly through life. We all have experience of facing a ”fixed” opponent … only to have them come around.
