20 Elements of an Amazing School Curriculum

20 Elements of an Amazing School Curriculum | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Of course, before I share this with you, I also want to remind you that I am quick to embrace and celebrate an ecosystem of diverse schools. What I describe below is neither the best or only way to create an amazing school curriculum. Yet, I can write with confidence that this would certainly contribute to a rich, engaging and rewarding school experience; one that gives ample voice and choice to learners while challenging them to grow in character, competence, confidence,  and purpose.

What is Curriculum?

The word “curriculum”, as best as I can tell, comes from the idea of a race course. It is a course of study, a pathway that leads to some destination. Yet, others simply define it in the broadest sense as everything that goes into a student’s learning experience in a formal education program. Traditionally, people thought of the curriculum in terms of content, assessments, resources (like books and other readings), teacher-guided lessons and learning experiences, and the like. Yet, more recently, much conversation about curriculum focuses upon standards, outcomes, resources, and assessments; the items that we frequently see in curriculum maps.

Do Self-Directed Learners Use Mentors, Guides & Coaches? | #Autodidact #Coaching #Mentoring #LEARNing2LEARN 

Do Self-Directed Learners Use Mentors, Guides & Coaches? | #Autodidact #Coaching #Mentoring #LEARNing2LEARN  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
For those not familiar with self-directed learning, they sometimes have a stereotype about what it means to be a self-directed learner. One of them includes this vision of the solitary and independent learner who does things her way. She only depends upon herself, not relying upon teachers or others. Yet, in my study of self-directed learning, that tends to be far from true. In fact, many self-directed learners actively seek out different guides and mentors in their pursuit of new learning goals. They own the learning, but they seek out mentors and guides to accomplish their learning goals.

Self-directed learning is not solitary learning. It is not anti-teacher, anarchist, nor is it selfish. At least that is not the vision for most advocates and champions of self-directed learning. What makes it distinct is that the learner, not a teacher or other authority, takes increasing ownership for the what, why and how of learning. It stems from a conviction that teaching self-sufficiency and self-regulation is effectively done by providing contexts where one is able to practice self-regulating and being increasingly self-sufficient.

Are Distinct Disciplines & Time Blocks the Way to Go in School?

Are Distinct Disciplines & Time Blocks the Way to Go in School? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Are distinct disciplines and 45-minute time blocks the way to go in school? This is my continued reflection on Will Richardson’s 9 Elephants in the Class(Room) That Should “Unsettle” Us. If you have not done so already, I encourage you to check out his original article. It is definitely worth the time and would make for a great discussion starter among educators.

We know that separating learning into discrete subjects and time blocks is not the best way to prepare kids for the real world.

What Compels People to Pursue Radical Innovations in Education

What Compels People to Pursue Radical Innovations in Education | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

What compels people to pursue more radical innovations in education? It has now been almost two decades since I started to more seriously and systematically study innovations in education and innovative learning organizations. Many of the musings about that show up in the chapters of my book on Missional Moonshots (not to mention the many articles on this blog), but since my exploration started, I can’t think of a single day that has passed without some thought experiment or reflection about educational innovation. In that sense, it has become a consuming passion for me because I see educational innovation as an important social good, and I have immense respect for those who tap into the courage, creativity and hard work necessary to pursue revolutionary or radical innovations in education.
