«Decir a los niños que no se aprendan las cosas de memoria es un gran error» «Objetivo: Generar talento.
Cómo poner en acción la inteligencia». Se trata del último libro publicado por el filósofo, escritor y pedagogo José Antonio Marina, quien reconoce que es difícil definir «talento» porque no es un concepto científico, sino de la psicología popular. «Me parecía que había que recuperar este concepto para distinguirlo de la inteligencia, porque el talento está relacionado con el buen uso, el uso brillante, de la inteligencia», sostiene. -¿Por qué se ha puesto de moda hablar de talento? -La razón es económica. El talento tiene que ver con la acción, con la toma de decisiones y la generación de proyectos y, para ello, intervienen muchos aspectos como pensar bien, tener buena información, pero también supone gestionar bien las emociones y tener desarrolladas las virtudes de la acción: la perseverancia, la valentía, la tenacidad, el saber soportar el fracaso...

It’s why the extended-day school in far northeast Denver offers nearly two hours of specials like art and music per day, why the cheerful and affectionate principal keeps a few “golden tickets” clipped to her lanyard to give out as rewards and why the classrooms aren’t the hushed, sit-up-straight, no-excuses type you might find elsewhere. On a recent afternoon, two fifth grade boys in matching navy polo shirts and spiky hairdos huddled next to each other in teacher Matt Johnson’s math class.

We were all first and second-year teachers in that seminar—peers, in theory—but my colleague Devon struck me as a cut above. I’d gripe about a classroom problem, and without judgment or rebuke, he’d outline a thoughtful, inventive solution, as if my blundering incompetence was perhaps a matter of personal taste, and he didn’t wish to impose his own sensibilities. Promoting Literacy and Empathy in the Artroom. As a high school Art teacher, I focus my curriculum and instruction on connections – connections between ideas and with the world outside the Artroom/Studio classroom.
That might take the form of incorporating students’ home, community or cultural experiences as well as topics from other subjects in school. The Artroom is a place of learning – whether it’s about technique in order to render images and make objects, or the context and history of the many art forms and their practitioners. But perhaps more importantly, it is also a studio – an open and safe space to explore practices that call forth dispositions which impact learning.

How to Make Sure That Project-based Learning is Applied Well in Schools. By Thom Markham Now that project-based learning (PBL) is becoming more popular, the doubters and haters also have surfaced.
The recent anti-PBL message by David Brooks in the New York Times, which was fortunately well rebutted, exemplifies the resistance. Citing High Tech High in San Diego, Brooks’ core message is that PBL is a kind of mindless education dressed up by technology and devoid of the ‘wisdom’ taught in traditional schools. Given that there are probably another thousand-plus schools across the country embracing PBL, this is a serious charge. How to Make Sure That Project-based Learning is Applied Well in Schools.

Growth Mindset: How to Normalize Mistake Making and Struggle in Class. Carol Dweck’s research on growth mindset has become essential knowledge in education circles.
The Stanford psychologist found that children who understand that their brains are malleable and can change when working through challenging problems can do better in school. Now, many school districts are attempting to teach growth mindset to their students. At the core of this practice is the idea of “productive failure” (a concept Dr. Manu Kapur has been studying for over a decade)* and giving students the time and space to work through difficult problems.

I realise I haven’t written anything for this blog for quite some time, so I’m really glad that a recent conversation on Twitter about observations and lesson plans with @ashowski and @getgreatenglish, who following our chat wrote a post too, motivated me to write a new post. The conversation was prompted by a blog post by @ashowski which you can read here. In a nutshell, Anthony argues that from the point of view of the observer a thorough lesson plan is essential as comparing it with the decisions made by the teacher during the lesson can “reveal the most interesting features of the teacher’s pedagogic abilities”.
