What 60 Schools Can Tell Us About Teaching 21st Century Skill

Travelled around America states. 

Noticed that each schools have problems that the other solve. 

Change from industrial model. 

Hard change changes of greif /don’t know why it shold be that hard

Berlin airlift was hard raising children in poverty as single mum is hard.

Change is comlicated and essey change is uncomfortable

Bright lights of inovation mosaic innovation

Student ownership of learning 

Blooms taxonomy - talking to us how we learn

Adaptive crossing subject boundaries

Relavant - connect the dots

Empathy - 

Innnovation vrs tradition that makes us strong

2nd grader ewe fail forward and fail 

Industrial age model not going back 

Global eco system.

4.50000 years living through explosive resoluation of 5th sphere 

Philophines ive off $2 a day are connected to the cognetisphere.... connected through a cell phone how we connect going forward.

Where do we want to be as educators what does great learning look like?

Medasorrie told us 

We as the adults have constructed in attempt to control education

My class, my subject my time

Dams we have burned

innovation is marvellous

college board shove into packets of context rather than contect

prevent us from commections silos of classroom inward focus rather than going out

break down the dams education is exploding

1 teach into the inknown don’t know what it is like.

 If world changing -timeless skills not 21st century skills teach to be self evolving learners we need to become self evlving learners.

Constant change

preparing for their future not their past. 

Challenge issue to us

Dont talk just do fan fires of innovation 

learning opportunities of learning. 

What we can do with the information that we have.

Content driven rather than context driven.

Learning organistaion and organistational learning.

I go to a place to learn = learning org
All learn together = eco system.

Week 2. - Reflect on Key comps

Self Assess on my 5 Key Competencies and He Tikanga Whakaaro’s in my teaching and leadership practice 

Strengths 

Applying authentic contexts for the children such as the sea providing talks from local speakers such as Poor Knights speaker Kimberly and a local sailor on Hauraki Gulf.

Thinking 

Intellectual curiosity through mapping as inquiry - leading children to have an authentic voice in their learning. 

Using Language symbols and texts 

effectively use ICT 

Managing self 

“can do attitude through daily tasks in the daily 5 reading programme which promotes independence and choice making. 

Relating to others
Listen actively - use the daily 5 as taught in Incredible Years programme 

Special character in corporated in idea of how their words and actions effect others.

Participating and contributing

and weaknesses

need to effectively use ICT more for modern day learners and provide opportunities to do so more in and out of class.

Thinking

shaping actions, or constructing knowledge

Managing self

reliable, and resilient. 

Relating to others 

need more opportunities for triadic groups not only in mathematics time, think pair share more readily.

Participating and contributing

By working effectively together, they can come up with new approaches, ideas, and ways of thinking.

School structures made by teachers tend to dominate this process, allow more thought to come from children in junior school on better ways to have clean up for example. 

More global approaches used 

                                     Tātaritanga (thinking and making meaning)

                              Oral talk in class rather than dictated to - using oral language as an effective learning tool rather than just having teacher as source of all knowledge.
