How to Bring Playfulness to High School Students | MindShift | KQED News
It’s easy to focus on academics and college transcripts when children become tweens and teens, but retaining the agency and creativity inherent in play is crucial for them, too. But what is the high school equivalent for the kind of inquisitive learning that happens when little kids play in the sandbox, finger-paint, build with blocks or play make-believe? “When your 4-year-old is dipping his hand in the rice table, he’s learning really important things about tactile touch,” said Denise Pope, senior lecturer at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education and co-founder of Challenge Success. “Older kids need those same tactile, hands-on experiences to learn as well.” Teenagers need creative outlets, just like elementary school children. Those experiences helps open their brains in different ways, gets them excited about learning and allows them to have fun. There are several ways to encourage teenagers to learn playfully.

Developing a Growth Mindset in Teachers and Staff
The New Psychology of Success (2000), Dweck developed a continuum upon which people can be placed, based upon their understandings about where ability comes from. For some people (at one end of said continuum), success (and failure) is based on innate ability (or the lack of it). Deck describes this as a fixed theory of intelligence, and argues that this gives rise to a ‘fixed mindset’. At the other end of the continuum are those people who believe success is based on a growth mindset. According to Dweck: In a fixed mindset students believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are just fixed traits. The crucial point for individuals is that these mindsets have a large impact upon our understanding of success and failure. Needless to say, this idea of mindsets has significant implications for education. We have to really send the right messages, that taking on a challenging task is what I admire.

What Anxiety Does To Your Brain And What You Can Do About It
We all deal with anxiety in some form day to day. But anxiety can be a much stronger, more fearsome force for many people — one that never goes away. What is anxiety exactly, and what's going on in your mind (and your body) when anxiety strikes? How do you cope when it takes hold? Photos by oliveromg (Shutterstock), sanguineseas, Fod Tzellos, Quinn Dombrowski, M. Beyond Blue says that in any one year, around 1 million Australian adults have depression, and over 2 million have anxiety. Anxiety itself is a natural human response that serves a purpose. To help us get there, let's talk about what exactly is going on in your brain when anxiety strikes, how it impacts us, and then what we can do about it, with the help of some experts. What Anxiety Is, and How It Differs from Stress Anxiety is a sense of fear and apprehension that puts you on alert. On its face, anxiety can look like stress; but the reality isn't so simple.

Just what is DEEP learning? | Teacher Solutions
We’ve been out running professional learning with hundreds of teachers so far this year and two of the popular the buzz words seem to be ‘deep learning’ and ‘powerful learners’. First step in any learning is to establish that there is a clear purpose and that the learning is important. While there is some ‘fuzziness’ about what deep learning might be, there seems to be universal appreciation of its importance and relevance. The idea of scuba v deep diving seems to help teachers think about what it is that we are chasing. Scuba diving represents: shallow, surface skimming across learning, coverage of content, use of worksheets, right answer thinking and low engagement or challenge. Deep diving on the other hand brings to mind: depth, engagement, challenge, inquiry, RBL, critical and creative thinking, content creation, student initiated learning, choice, curiosity, questioning, formative assessment and so much more! So, as always, I start with the end in mind and ask: How will we know ….
10 Ways Teacher Planning Should Adjust To The Google Generation | TeachThought
10 Ways Teacher Planning Should Adjust To The Google Generation by Terry Heick For the Google Generation, information isn’t scarce, and knowing has the illusion of only being a search away. I’ve written before about how Google impacts the way students think. This post is less about students, and more about how planning resources like standards and curriculum maps might respond accordingly. Curriculum maps are helpful little documents that standardize learning. The problem is, now more than ever, critical knowledge is changing. In the presence of Google, predictive search, digital communities, social media, Quora, adaptive apps, and other technology, information is less scarce than it has ever been in human history. There is a subreddit for transhumanism. That’s pretty incredible. There’s also one for education, science, the future, the past, self-directed learning, teaching, books, technology, and almost any other topic you can think of. 1. 2. 3. 4. See #2. 5. In 2014, we can do better. 6.
