Feelings of isolation occur with some regularity among educators. Teachers spend much of their day separated from peers in classrooms that can become silos. Via Gust MEES, Allan Shaw

So this week I want to talk about struggling students, or more to the point, our responsibility as educators to truly get down to the heart of the matter when it comes to why kids aren’t learning.

understanding and diagnosing each student's learning needs to become our highest priority; perhaps even more important than some of our teaching practices, important though they are!

Every year, school districts around the country waste a tremendous amount of time and money on ineffective professional development. The traditional model of “sit and get,” where a one-size-fits-all approach is utilized, yields abhorrent results.

Great article!
Vision is the purpose. Always keep that at the forefront.
My take aways: PL must meet them where they are; must differentiate. Pre-Needs assessments (of some form) are really crucial. Feedback from learners should guide you. Alternative forms of professional learning must be available so people can learn when they need it in a personalized way. Delete the scoop?

Teamwork is a frustrating as it is rewarding. Here are a few insights about how to make the most out of collaboration.

My favorite quote: "Conflict, when well managed and focused on a team's objectives, can generate more creative solutions than one sees in conflict-free groups." All too often conflict is avoided maybe because it is poorly managed but if it's focused on team's goal or mission can be most beneficial.

(From the article):The hands-on activities of group leaders do make a difference. But the most powerful thing a leader can do to foster effective collaboration is to create conditions that help members competently manage themselves. The second most powerful thing is to launch the team well. And then, third, is the hands-on teaching and coaching that leaders do after the work is underway. Our research suggests that condition-creating accounts for about 60% of the variation in how well a team eventually performs; that the quality of the team launch accounts for another 30%; and that real-time coaching accounts for only about 10%. Leaders are indeed important in collaborative work, but not in the ways we usually think. Delete the scoop?

A2: Great article: Teaching to the Minds of Boys http://t.co/blU1O9tl #momsofboyschat
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's curator insight,

Love those boys!!!!!!
"The school analyzed the natural assets that both girls and boys bring to learning Douglass realized that its classrooms were generally a better fit for the verbal-emotive, sit-still, take-notes, listen-carefully, multitasking girl. Teachers tended to view the natural assets that boys bring to learning—impulsivity, single-task focus, spatial-kinesthetic learning, and physical aggression—as problems. By altering strategies to accommodate these more typically male assets, Douglass helped its students succeed, as the following vignettes illustrate"
Essentially, this is about empathy. If you can think like them, you can teach FOR them! Delete the scoop?
