dy/dan Ulrikaskolan entreprenöriellt lärande How and Why to Teach Your Kids to Code Tänk globalt, agera lokalt | unga sociala entreprenörer ”Va!? Är det på riktigt riktigt?!” Unga Sociala Entreprenörer har under två veckor drivit projektet ”Tänk globalt, agera lokalt” tillsammans med lärare och elever från Viktor Rydbergs Gymnasium i Djursholm. Syftet har varit att identifiera allvarliga globala problem och arbeta med lösningar som ligger nära elevernas livsvärld. Det finns tydliga krav från EU, Riksdag och Skolverket att vi ska arbeta mer entreprenöriellt i skolan, vars arbete dessutom ska genomsyras av hållbar utveckling. Hållbar utveckling + entreprenöriellt lärande = socialt entreprenörskap I detta projekt fick eleverna tydliga ramar och kunskap kring hur man t.ex skriver en projektplanering, hur man ”pitchar” sin idé, det vill säga hur man säljer in sin idé för de personer som är nödvändiga för att projektet ska lyckas. Det var tydligt att eleverna gärna hade velat välja grupp efter just samarbetsförmåga och intresse, något som vi försökt administrera med såg för krångligt. Tycker du att detta verkar intressant?

Hur kan en död fågel vara entreprenöriellt lärande? Publicerad av Charlotte Christoffersen Entreprenöriellt lärande handlar om att skapa verkliga värden för andra och att öppna upp skolan ut mot samhället. Att ta hand om en död fågel och ge den en värdig begravning kan vara ett sätt att skapa värde för någon annan – t.o.m. om denna är död. Det menar Martin Lackeus, doktorand på Chalmers Tekniska Högskola i Göteborg i Entreprenöriellt lärande. Med Martin Lackeus döda fågel på näthinnan kan jag se hur en grupp skolbarn hittar den döda fågeln.

Yes, You Can Teach and Assess Creativity! A recent blog by Grant Wiggins affirmed what I have long believed about creativity: it is a 21st-century skill we can teach and assess. Creativity fosters deeper learning, builds confidence and creates a student ready for college and career. However, many teachers don't know how to implement the teaching and assessment of creativity in their classrooms. While we may have the tools to teach and assess content, creativity is another matter, especially if we want to be intentional about teaching it as a 21st-century skill. In a PBL project, some teachers focus on just one skill, while others focus on many. Here are some strategies educators can use tomorrow to get started teaching and assessing creativity -- just one more highly necessary skill in that 21st-century toolkit. Quality Indicators If you and your students don't unpack and understand what creativity looks like, then teaching and assessing it will be very difficult. Activities Targeted to Quality Indicators Model Thinking Skills

Modern formativ bedömning i matteundervisningen « Erefalks lyckliga lärarliv Hur effektiviserar vi lektionerna, förbättrar vi våra elevers kunskaper, gör lektionerna mer lustfyllda och höjer måluppfyllelsen, utan att för den skull tillsätta mer resurser? Låt mig förklara! 1.Dagens kom igång Jag inleder varje lektion med att skriva upp på tavlan vilka verktyg eleverna behöver för den aktuella lektionen, samtidigt visar jag på Smartboarden dagens kom igång-uppgift. Syftet är dels att snabbt få eleverna att hämta och komma igång med lektionen, dels att den ska ge ett hum om vad dagens lektion handlar om. När tiden är klar låter jag eleverna diskutera uppgiften med sin pratkompis. 2. Nästa steg är att förtydliga syftet med lektionen. 3. Efter drygt halva lektionen gör jag en check-point. Dessa redovisas sedan via dokumentkameran på Smartboarden. Målsättningen för mig som lärare är ju inte att ge relativa betyg på deras uppgifter utan att ge dem verktygen för hur de ska nå så långt som möjligt i sin kunskapsutveckling. 4. Än en gång arbetar vi efter EPA-modellen. 5.

SMART Goal Setting: A Surefire Way To Achieve Your Goals I encourage you to pick up a pen and a piece of paper and jot down the goals you want to reach. Look at each goal and evaluate it. Make any changes necessary to ensure it meets the criteria for a SMART goals: S = SpecificM = MeasurableA = AttainableR = RealisticT = Timely Specific Goals should be straightforward and emphasize what you want to happen. Specific is the What, Why, and How of the SMART model. WHAT are you going to do? Ensure the goals you set is very specific, clear and easy. Measurable If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Choose a goal with measurable progress, so you can see the change occur. Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. Attainable When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. Goals you set which are too far out of your reach, you probably won’t commit to doing. The feeling of success which this brings helps you to remain motivated.

Desmos | Beautiful, Free Math Empathy: The Most Important Back-to-School Supply Photo credit: iStockPhoto My most important back-to-school supply doesn't fit in a backpack, and it can't be ordered online. It's as essential as a pencil, but unlike a pencil, no technology can replace it. It's actually a "muscle" I've been working on all summer. What's the Big Deal About Empathy? Empathy starts with putting yourself in someone else's shoes -- a key step in understanding perspectives that differ from your own. Also like a muscle, empathy is easy to forget, particularly when operating in a crisis mode, always putting out fires. As we think about empathy in a well-functioning classroom, the physical state can serve as a metaphor for the health of the social-emotional learning setting: A classroom might look fine on the surface, doing OK on standardized tests, memorizing facts and figures, but its internal environment might remain weak. It goes farther than that. A Fitness Plan for Building an Empathy Muscle Step 1. Create the conditions in which empathy can thrive. Step 2.
