  Point #5 Beyond Differentiation to Individualization - is an interesting concept as differentiation is a strong movement right now.

  education learning pedagogy

  • With greater differentiation of instruction we can lower the barriers, not the bar

    • great comment - differentiation is about removing the blocks that prevent learning not the lowering the standards.

  For the first time since the institution of public education in the U.S., students currently in high school are less likely to graduate than their parents. We are the only industrialized country where that is true. Here are my recommendations to change the appalling dropout rate and prepare students for the 21st century.

  • Students need to know how to find accurate information and use critical analysis to assess the veracity/bias and current/potential uses of new information. These are the executive functions students need to develop and practice in school today, or they will be unprepared to find, analyze, and use the information of tomorrow.

  • Students in the U.S. need new skills for the coming century, not to be superior to students worldwide, but to be ready to collaborate with others on a global level to find creative solutions to problems now and in the future.

    • So I guess the "new" part of this is the global aspect of it.

  • Evaluate Information Accuracy

    • This is not new. We should have been doing this all along. And how does this impact "reform"?
    Add Sticky Note
  • Discovering their strengths and engaging in learning through interests stimulates the strongest neural circuits so the brain is preset for engagement and knowledge building.

    • Passion based learning. This is, I think, something that real "reform" would offer.

    • A powerful concept, yet a huge challenge to pull off in a class of 25 or so students. Definitely a goal to strive for, though.

  • lessons need to be personally relevant, low in stress, and incorporate enjoyable modes of information presentation

    • Interesting.

  • The state of stress or well-being determines if the input is directed to the reflective, higher cognitive "conscious" decision-making brain, or to the reactive brain where the only "choices" at this unconscious level are fight, flight, or freeze. These are often misinterpreted by teachers as ADHD, acting-out, or signs of low intelligence. The students are not consciously misbehaving. Their brains are simply in the reactive state in which they have no conscious control.

    • Interesting concept.
    Add Sticky Note
  • Students need to use what they learn repeatedly and in different, personally meaningful ways for short-term memory to become permanent knowledge that can be retrieved and used in the future.

    • This is why my kids have basically wasted five years of Spanish in school.

  • Assessments need to include ways for different types of learners to demonstrate

    • Totally agree with this, that we need to get back to performance assessment rather than regurgitation. This will require more money, more time, etc.
