"What stereotypes about teenagers do the adults you know seem to hold? How does the media portray people your age — whether you’re called Gen Z, iGen or anything else?
"What can you show us from your own life, or the lives of those around you, that might help make that portrait more interesting, nuanced, complete or real?
"In this contest we invite young people to take photographs that depict some aspect of teenage life that you think may be misunderstood, ignored or largely unknown, and, in a short artist’s statement, tell us why.
"Below is the submission form, followed by the rules and guidelines, as well as a list of related resources, including a lesson plan and the work of last year’s winners." Via Jim Lerman

Posted on August 21, 2019 by barbara (Presented at “Teaching Writing in a Post-Truth Era,” University of Notre Dame, August 20, 2019) I come to the issue of teaching writing in the post-truth era from a somewhat different perspective than our previous speakers. I’m a librarian who has long been interested in the ways students get ideas, interact with other’s ideas, and how their experiences as writers in college shape their identity as people with agency and a grasp of how knowledge is made and negotiated by people – people like them. I’m taken with the parallels between writing instruction and what librarians do. Your writing program has as a goal ethical and moral use of words and evidence. Making an argument is an ethical activity, one that helps students develop intellectual and moral virtues. Via Elizabeth E Charles

If your goal for a lesson, unit, or other instructional activity is to have students drive more of their own learning, consider these 9 questions from Section C of the 4 Shifts Protocol. If you like your answers, awesome! Keep doing that! If you’re not where you want to be yet, pick a couple of questions and select your desired answers instead (e.g., Students instead of Teachers or Both). Then do a redesign pivot: How could you redesign the student learning experience to get to your desired answers? Brainstorm with some colleagues or a coach about how to shift the two questions Via Ana Cristina Pratas

If a school really is to improve, we must understand and trust that our teachers know how to teach, they each have their own styles, their own niche and their own way of getting the points across.
Jim Lerman's insight:
The way I see it, this is the #1 job of principals. As much as possible, shield your teachers from the slings and arrows of outside pressure, support them to make as many decisions, collaboratively, as they can, and provide them with the resources to get their jobs done. Via Jim Lerman
