Cooperative Learning - More Than Group Work Did you know that there's a difference between cooperative learning and group work? I'll bet you thought those two terms were synonymous, but they're not. Let me show you how they are worlds apart. Does this scenario sound familiar? The teacher assigns a group project, outlines the task, and gives a deadline for completion. Students are expected to work together and participate equally, but we all know what happens. But what I just described is NOT cooperative learning. But if that's not cooperative learning, what does cooperative learning look like? How to Foster Effective Team Discussions Introducing accountability and rules of equal participation can be as easy as changing to a new team discussion format. Place students in teams of 4 or 5 and have them number off in order around the team. Keep Discussions Focused with Question Cards Another way to promote more effective discussions is to create question task cards to keep the discussion focused and moving along.
Ny forskning – det utmärker en skicklig lärare Under de senaste 20 åren har det forskats intensivt om läs och skrivsvårigheter. Men trots att kunskapen har ökat fortsätter elevernas resultat att sjunka i internationella jämförelser. Orsaken är klyftan mellan teori och praktik, menar Catharina Tjernberg, lärare och forskare vid Stockholms universitet. – Kunskapen når inte lärarna. I sin senaste studie har Catharina Tjernberg tittat på varför yrkesskickliga lärare jobbar som de gör i klassrummen. – I min studie blir det tydligt att den erfarenhetsbaserade kunskapen som överförs mellan lärare är minst lika viktig som den teoretiska, säger hon. Catharina Tjernberg har gjort en praktikorienterad studie på en skola där hon dels har observerat hur lärarna arbetar på lektionerna, dels har samtalat med dem om det pedagogiska arbetet. Den skola Catharina Tjernberg har studerat har utvecklat en modell där lärarna följer varandras lektioner. – Det här har gjort att man har medvetandegjort saker för varandra, säger Catharina Tjernberg.

10 Life Lessons Worth Teaching Next Year What should you be teaching? Every class has standards and curricula to attend to, but we have so many options for teaching our materials. Creative instruction is important to maximizing learning for students and enjoying our classroom time as educators. What happens when we teach from a slightly different angle–when we layer our teaching with elements of social and emotional learning, empathy, creativity, analysis, and the arts, and consciously access the different learning styles? Can we use our content areas as a vehicles to teach skills and add in the other areas?

Skrivpapper Det är inte alltid som vi skriver alla jobb på datorn eller iPaden. Det finns ju färdiga papper att skriva på men då finns det inte plats för bild på en vit yta som jag ofta vill ha till mina yngre elever. Jag vill också att det ska finnas stödlinjer för dem när de skriver. Det är ungefär 5 mm mellan linjerna och 7 mm mellan varje del. Har också gjort en version som är utan ram Det kan du hämta här i pdf. 27 Ways To Increase Student Engagement In Learning Student engagement in learning is kind of important. No matter the best practices of your curriculum mapping, instructional strategies, use of data for learning, formative assessment, or expert use of project-based learning, mobile learning, and a flipped classroom, if students aren’t engaged, most is for naught. Historically, student engagement has been thought of in terms of students “paying attention”: raising hands, asking questions, and making eye contact. Of course, we know now that learning can benefit from learner self-direction and self-initiated transfer of thinking as much as it does simple “engagement” and participation. That being said, increasing engagement and sheer participation is not a wrong-headed pursuit in and of itself, and in pursuit of that is the following infographic from Mia MacMeekin: 27 ways to increase student engagement. 27 Ways To Increase Student Engagement In Learning
