Apply New Learning Often and in Meaningful Contexts . We learn best when we have context, and that applies to new skills as much as it does random facts in school. That's why something like the transfer of learning is helpful when you’re learning a new skill. This means you're applying your new skills in your day to day life in a context that matters.

I certainly have to agree but could I add more? The only addition I think I would make would be having learners as the centre of all of the above. ;)

How To Teach Differently 6. Embrace that there is no “best” way. While certain hallmarks of teaching and content don’t change, literally every other layer of education does, from the standards themselves, to district “pushes,” available technology, and even what are accepted as “best practices.” So maybe a better way to put it is, embrace change.

Today, I’m happy to announce that my friend and colleague Bruce Dixon and I are starting a new membership website, Educating Modern Learners (EML). It’s a site and an accompanying newsletter that’s...
We believe that top level decision makers often act without a relevant, global, modern lens for how technologies can best serve progressive teaching and learning.
This is through no fault of their own as much as it is the consequence of leading at a moment of rapid and radical change.
We believe there is a real need for a diverse set of expert voices to use a global lens to intelligently curate and contextualize the changes, new technologies, future trends, best practices and more on a regular basis.We believe this is a time of unprecedented opportunity.
A time for boldness, and a time for well-informed leadership to shape new thinking around what schools could and should be; about where, when, and how learning takes place.
A time for us to truly rethink the possibilities that technology offers education, and a time for creative and courageous leadership to show the way.
Gust MEES's insight:
We believe that schools must move away from “delivering” an education to, instead, empowering students to organize their own education.
Eileen Forsyth's curator insight,

What is the new purpose of school now that nearly the sum of human knowledge is just a few clicks away on devices we carry in our pockets? What is the role of a teacher when we find ourselves with access to 2.5 billion people from around the world? And how do we define an “education” when we can now learn so much on our own without the requirements of a traditional classroom or curriculum? New questions require new answers.It’s no longer good enough to improve school, to make it “better.” Instead, this moment requires that we think about education and schooling fundamentally differently to prepare students for a future that few of us could have imagined a few short years ago.

Life is, or should be, a struggle: Comfort should make us uncomfortable; contentment should make us discontented” –George Sheehan A few months back, Jenny and I had a conversation about how we are raising our kids.
What counts is that we build real trust with others so that the uncomfortable conversations can happen naturally.
Building trust is hard work, but without trust, we never get down to talking about what really matters.
===> And talking about what really matters is what will help our students. <===

What does it mean to be a great teacher? In the second part of this article, Matt Bromley continues his focus on the traits and skills of ‘master teachers’5, Push and pull your peers Great teachers create opportunities to increase purposeful peer interaction, help establish and consolidate new norms of teachers working together, and build respect for each other. Great teachers pull or draw people in with the energy and excitement of their own committed practice and also push and nudge colleagues forwards with their relentless commitment to being better and doing better for all their students. Therefore, great teachers have to trust processes of peer interaction as well as particular people. These processes are ones that maximise their organisation’s collective capabilities and improve its problem-solving capacities. . - See more at: http://www.sec-ed.co.uk/best-practice/master-teaching-part-2/#sthash.4Q3vPihh.dpuf .
