What you have said bears repeating:<br /><br />Educators (this includes all educators in the district, not just the teachers) need to:<br />• Change the classroom environment, leaving behind memories of their own traditional learning experiences.<br />• Get rid of old, outdated “default” teaching practices.<br />• Examine the concepts and skills students really need to know and forget the sound bites of information that will be long forgotten.<br />• Use assessments and timely feedback to guide instruction and learning.MNW Supts Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997927343807179100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676914372531255418.post-38615143635175573922010-09-23T19:25:19.819-07:002010-09-23T19:25:19.819-07:00Mrs. Horan,
Your comments are great and it is so ...Mrs. Horan,<br /><br />Your comments are great and it is so motivating to see teachers using great examples of preparing all of our kids for the world that exists for them after high school...<br /><br />Alan November, who will be in Cherokee on October 6 (hope to see you and your leadership team there), made great comments about this at the School Administrators' Conference in August...asking great questions of school leaders:<br /><br /> http://novemberlearning.com/<br /><br />1) Who works harder…teachers or students?<br />2) Who owns the learning?<br /><br />These questions seem to fit the work that you're talking about very well...keep pushing!<br /><br />Jeff Herzbergjeff hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647366346151869404noreply@blogger.com
