Education Week: Schools Need a Culture Shift

  • How do we bridge this “culture gap”—the gap between the culture of our classrooms and that of our best work environments? How do we transform the culture of our classrooms to prepare students to enter the culture of thriving, cutting-edge business environments? Surely not in the current classroom milieu, fostered by an overreliance on narrow measures of achievement based on standardized tests. Such tests do not measure the skills and competencies needed to thrive in today’s world—teamwork, collaboration, creativity, and innovation. So it is no wonder that a much-respected private school in my state of Connecticut is running an advertisement to attract families that says, “Your child will develop into a person, not a test score.”

Conclusions, Teachers' Tools for the 21st Century: A Report on Teachers' Use of Technology

  • traditional professional development activities have been criticized for lacking continuity and follow-up (Fullan with Stiegelbauer, 1991), and pre-service training has been criticized as being fragmented and unconnected to real classroom experiences (NCTAF, 1996).
  • Despite these criticisms, 88 percent of teachers indicated that professional development activities prepared them to some extent to use technology, and 84 percent of teachers with 3 or fewer years of teaching experience indicated that college/graduate work prepared them to some extent to use technology. However, a relatively small proportion of teachers indicated that these sources prepared them to a "large extent."

Wiki while you work. - Free Online Library

  • Technology's power is no longer just in making information
    available. Rather the power to write ideas, share information and allow
    reflections to be published at will makes the difference. This attitude
    of sharing and collaborating changes your organization from a set of
    individuals around the table to a learning, organic team.

EBSCOhost: Wikis and Constructivism in Secondary Social Studies: Fostering a Deeper Un...

  • Web 2.0 software, in particular wikis, have the potential to allow students to become active contributors to the Internet and, as a result, restructure traditional learning environments. In this study, the effects of student-created wikis were evaluated through measures of student engagement, cognitive benefits, and student learning in both the short and long term. Data suggest that the use of wikis facilitated a pedagogical shift from traditional teacher-centered instructional approaches to student-oriented, constructivist learning, which resulted in increased student self-efficacy and motivation. Additionally, in interviews eight months following the project implementation, students who had created wikis demonstrated greater content retention and understanding than peers who had learned the same content through teacher-directed instruction. The long-term cognitive value of the wikis positively impacted student understanding by helping students to link content, both literally and figuratively, and develop a deeper understanding of content through visualization of the chronology of events as well as cause and effect relationships.

Social Studies for the 21st Century

  • What would happen if social studies classes—from the elementary grades through high school—focused on goals such as collaboration, creativity and innovation, and initiative and self-direction at almost every turn?
  • The ambitious 21st Century Skills and Social Studies Map, published jointly last summer by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and the advocacy group Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), culminated a two-year collaboration by educators and business leaders that identified a dozen skills—as well as goals and examples for achieving them—to drive future careers and fuller civic engagement for today’s students.
