Couldn't agree more about the notes- wish some more teachers could hear him!Melanie Hutchinson at 2:20 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Tell me Darren's kids are not more engaged in learning because of these tools than Pre-Cal classes that are not.jutecht at 2:20 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
All teachers should regulary invite TPTB into their classrooms. . . teach them, too!Paula at 2:20 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
THEY take the initiative to do school visits on a regular basis, and have once a month "learning sessions" where Tchrs and Kids sharePaula at 2:19 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@Ray and he's not even talking about the authentic audience his students have to share with.jutecht at 2:19 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@Paula And how responsible are you for making sure they stay up with what is going on in the classrooms? Invite them in I say.plnaugle at 2:18 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Good practical advice for students learning how other students think...Barbara at 2:18 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@jutecht Makes so much sense. And the fact that teachers can use the scribe assignment as a way to do that is wonderful. Wish my son had DarRay at 2:18 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web

@Ray social credit is huge especially in MS and HSjutecht at 2:14 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
When was the last time our policy makers taught in a classroom?plnaugle at 2:13 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
just think what would happen if the principal EXPECTED every teacher to teach like Darren!Paula at 2:13 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Love that concept of social credit as a motivator for students.Ray at 2:13 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web

Sometimes it is more like a shrub removal :)Melanie Hutchinson at 2:12 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Or worse yet they get promoted to central office.plnaugle at 2:12 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Schools need to do some weeding.plnaugle at 2:11 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web

When was the last time a teacher lost their job in your district for doing a poor job of teaching?plnaugle at 2:11 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
That sounds better.Melanie Hutchinson at 2:10 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@Melanie Remix: Learning is more important then content?jutecht at 2:10 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Perhaps elem have more to lose so have to get it right!Melanie Hutchinson at 2:09 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
BTW...direct quote from a HS teacher. :)jutecht at 2:09 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@Lsly Personally I think teachers use that to hide behind. Elementary can do what they want but we do "real work" up here!jutecht at 2:09 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
or is it because pedagogy is more important than content (I might be in deep water...)Melanie Hutchinson at 2:08 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Thank you @Melanie. I am prejuiced though because I'm an ES teacher.plnaugle at 2:08 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@jutecht - do we feel the risks aren't as big at elementary? tests, college prep, etc.Lsly at 2:08 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@Melanie agree. Is it because they have more freedom with curriculum and teaching...or so the perception goes?jutecht at 2:08 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Been talking a lot about risk lately - if we're not willing to take risks (big or small), our students never will.Lsly at 2:07 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
In my experience elem teachers are so much more willing to change and evolve- anyone else?Melanie Hutchinson at 2:07 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Well said, Jeff.plnaugle at 2:07 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
It will need to evolve over time and US school are to busy CYA to innovate new frameworks (IMHO)jutecht at 2:06 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
We have to be willing to be wrong. Are we willing to do that in education? Changes are the first next framework won't be right.jutecht at 2:06 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@melanie so agree. We're stuck in an old framework. The question is are we willing to change that framework? Why not? TTWIADIjutecht at 2:05 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@Isly and @jutecht- Zander said there was no problem that couldn't be solved without a new framework.Melanie Hutchinson at 2:03 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
I've seen him teach a Grade 10 pre-cal class twice. Absolutely awesome.Ray at 2:02 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@lsly good question. Why "time schedule" if time and space are flatten can our curriculum become flat as well?jutecht at 2:02 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
More student voices then teacher voice on the blog.jutecht at 2:01 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
@jutecht: in a large school locked into time schedules, room schedules, extra curricular schedules....can a smaller school do this better?Lsly at 2:01 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web

The big question.Melanie Hutchinson at 1:59 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Why do we keep our curriculum separate? Specially in the high school where kids should be the most creative!jutecht at 1:59 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Brilliant question Jeff.Melanie Hutchinson at 1:59 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
Why are we not integrating more curriculum to make new from our parts?jutecht at 1:58 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
How do we create something new from the many parts?jutecht at 1:58 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
FYI Darren is recording the audio and will create a audio slideshow of preso later. :)jutecht at 1:57 PM, 29 Jul 2009 via web
