SmartBlogs SmartBlogs We sat, afraid to move lest we interfere with the learning and interaction we were witnessing. Children — young children — moved throughout the classroom, carrying various materials while maneuvering around tables with teapots and an occasional flower vase before landing and unpacking their selected treasures. The materials were designed to foster discovery, engage imagination, serve practical purposes, or open new worlds for students. Some did all this at once. The teacher moved intentionally throughout the room, interacting with a student about the materials currently being explored, and then moving on to another mind absorbed in discovery and learning. After hearing about Montessori education for years, this was my first direct exposure to it. But the most thought-provoking aspect of these classrooms was the environment. I’ve spent years refining my teaching based on neurocognitive research, but I’ve given the environments in which I teach far less study and attention. Look around.
20 Tips For A More Organized Classroom 20 Tips For A More Organized Classroom by Carrie Wible, opencolleges.edu.au “It’s around here somewhere”, you mumble while desperately rummaging through your desk, the filing cabinet, the book case, the storage compartments, and the twenty other places you stash things in the classroom. The teacher who asked for the papers is waiting, her foot begins tapping, and apparently something is wrong with her watch as she keeps looking at it and sighing. Yes! You finally remember putting the unit on Clouds and Weather in the filing cabinet but is it filed under “C”, “W” or “M” for meteorology? This happens more often than you would like to admit. Fear not, you are definitely not alone in this quandary. I remember as a first time teacher how excited I was to make the room mine. As an educator, your personality is going to shine through your room. Where Do I Begin? The easiest place to start is from within. “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
5 attributes that are crucial for success in the 21st century We can no longer assume that being ‘in work’ is the same thing as being employed – ‘having a job’. As the world becomes more connected, so companies get bigger, but so too do opportunities emerge for all kinds of small-scale, niche and self-employed enterprises. Many people who do not have ‘jobs’ in the old-fashioned sense bid for contracts online. Websites like broker deals between people who need a task done and those why know how to do it. Education is about the cultivation of competence and inclination. But reading is only one of these key dispositions. There is the ability to think on your feet, when your expectations are dashed and novel responses are required. There is the capacity to manage your attention. What about scepticism: the inclination to subject knowledge claims, especially ones that are written and authoritative, to critical scrutiny?

6 Essential R's to Reduce School-Wide Bullying The best way to reduce bullying is not with a one-time assembly or a poster campaign, but with homegrown, data-driven, sustained efforts by a caring, committed staff -- a model I call the six R's, a blueprint for effective bullying prevention. I've shared this model with hundreds of educators worldwide, and on U.S. Army bases. Each "R" is crucial in creating what our students deserve -- a safe, caring learning environment that breeds acceptance and respect. 1st R - RULES: Establish an Anti-Bullying Policy Develop an anti-bullying policy that fits your school values, focuses on prevention, features strong parental involvement, builds a respectful climate, and gets everyone on board. 2nd R - RECOGNIZE: Teach How to Identify Bullying All stakeholders must understand what bullying is, recognize indicators and receive ongoing training so that they can intervene appropriately and consistently. 3rd R - REPORT: Create Procedures to Report Bullying 4th R - RESPOND: Teach How to Respond to Bullying
Måste undervisningen förändras? Måste undervisningen förändras? Det var ju så bra på 80- och 90-talet, kan vi inte gå tillbaka till det? Varje dag produceras 25 000 000 000 000 000 000 byte data. Över 90 % av all världens data (information) har skapats under de två senaste åren! Det innebär att världen inte ser ut på det sätt vi vuxna tror att den gör. När vi som är vuxna idag gick i skolan fanns det en stor, men ändå begränsad mängd data, vilket innebar att det gick att paketera det som vi som ansågs som det viktigaste i läroböcker och ha en lärare som var ämnesexpert som ofta använde förmedlingspedagogik för att vi skulle lära oss det som stod i boken (och helst lite till). Jag menar att det är inte hållbart att bygga upp skolsystemet på det sättet längre. Att fortsätta med en skola där majoriteten av eleverna ska lära sig samma saker är inte hållbart (enligt mitt sätt att se på saken). Jag hoppas verkligen att läromedelsproducenterna tänker om när det gäller digitala läromedel. Får elever använda dator? Engelska
