"We recently discovered the Bay Area’s Prospect Sierra School’s interesting learning model that prioritizes 6 ideas for learning in the 21st century. There is, of course, no single “best” way to pursue “21st century learning”–nor any learning at all for that matter. But seeing the way other inspired educators pursue the idea can teach each one of us a lot. In this model, we appreciate the inclusion of self-knowledge, as well as moving past the idea of content to true disciplinary knowledge–seeing knowledge in context and application."
Beth Dichter's insight:
This post shares another visual that provides one model of learning in the 21st century. Specifically, it prioritizes six ideas: * Disciplinary Knowledge - "Build and apply content knowledge to think deeply and act as a practitioner of the discipline" * Self-Knowledge - "Experiment and create, while embracing failure as an opportunity for growth in order to design new ideas and solutions." * Innovation Creation - "Recognize one’s emotional, physical, and learning needs, strengths, and challenges to nurture personal growth and resilience" * Collaboration - "Share knowledge and resources, building on a diversity of ideas and experiences to achieve group goals and interdependence" * Responsibility - "Understand one’s impact and influence in a local and global community; cultivate compassion, and take positive action" * Communication - "Express ideas effectively through varied means of presentation; understand one’s audiences, actively listen; and build connection" Additional information on each of these six ideas is included in the post.

Have you heard of FIT Teaching? FIT stands for Framework for Intentional and Targeted Teaching. This post looks at seven key points that came out of a summer institute. For more information on each of the points click through to the post.
* Recognize that wrong answers came from somewhere. Dig deeper to find out where they came from.
* Ask students what they are learning, not what they are doing.
* Separate compliance from competence.
* Automate responses to recurring events.
* Establish the purpose of a lesson. Determine what students should learn and why they should learn it.
* Get kids to produce language, not just hear it. Encourage collaborative work using academic vocabulary.
* Remember that the gradual release of responsibility does not have to be linear.
Some of these points may resonate with you. If one or more do, think about how you will implement it in your classroom this year.
