What does 21st century learning look like in an elementary school? Image from Technically Invisible That’s the question that was posed to me this week by the faculty at a wonderful school on Manhattan’s upper east side in preparation for some upcoming PD work. I think it’s an outstanding question that’s worth reflecting on in-depth as we all start to think about what our goals and direction are for the next school year. What does 21st century learning look like? It’s an especially important consideration at the elementary level, because so many of the tech trends in education are tested out and geared toward middle and high schools. To me, 21st century learning in an elementary school has the same overall goals as a secondary school: it’s only the implementation that differs. I think that’s one of the greatest things about technology and one of the most exciting aspects of the vision for 21st century schools: that children are no longer all forced to learn the same thing the same way just because the teacher doesn’t have a simple way to differentiate.
Common Core Video Series Education Commissioner John King, David Coleman and Kate Gerson explain every key aspect of Common Core standards in depth. By viewing this 15-part series, New York educators and administrators will learn step-by-step how to implement the Common Core for ELA/Literacy and Math in their schools and classrooms. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of the rationale behind the Common Core and what it will mean for students across our state. Produced in partnership with NYS PBS stations WCNY/Syracuse and WNET/New York City, the series illuminates the Common Core through conversations between Commissioner King, a former high school social studies teacher and middle school principal; Coleman, a contributing author of the Common Core State Standards; and Gerson, a Senior Fellow with the USNY Regents Research Fund and a former high school English teacher and principal.

Elementary Matters: Common Core Curriculum Map Book Study--Second Grade Unit 3: Building Bridges With Unlikely Friends Some of my teacher/ blogging friends and myself are doing a book study on this book. (If you click the book, it will take you to Amazon for more information about the book.) My own district is adopting the Common Core State Standards this year. As I've been exploring the standards, it makes a lot of sense to teach integrated units, which is just what this book is about. These units were developed by a team of teachers just like us! On Tuesday, Yvonne from Sassy in Second did an overview of the book as well as the second grade curriculum maps. On Wednesday, Jenn from Best Practices 4 Teaching blogged about Grade 2, Unit 1. On Thursday, Michelle from Teach123 blogged about Unit 2, The Wild West. Today is Friday, and it's my turn! The book is set up by grade level (K - 5) and has 6 week units for every grade level. I'm in charge of Grade 2 Unit 3 --Building Bridges With Unlikely Friends The main focus of this 6 week collection of lessons is exploring figurative language. Works of fiction:
