a standard process:
want students to learn more?
1) model learning through personal learning networks (with or w/o tech)
Will Richardson: how to network a) safely b) ethically c) effectively
personalization - through professional/personal learning network's - through ning/wetpaint/etherpad
student centric as kids are creating their own public - engaged in meaning-making and writing about self-selected topics that are relevant and interesting to them - Wieman's expert individual tutor - web 3.0 tailoring (internship ningl/virtual classroom - for: reflection/story telling
Cameron - knows intuitively how to create value, add his default intention is to share it with others - most of the time for free. That why he has a public.

The same is becoming true for Simeon.
Alan November on tech providing more rigor - ie: student created tutorials
Do we insist that the class is one public?
Or do we just insist that each one in the class finds/creates their own public (like in real life).
That would allow for more of a passion driven pursuit.
ie: some who need it - may be a part of a community of 2 (them and expert individual tutor), others may end up with a community of hundreds

2) invite them places w/rich questions
Notice - not rich tech - tutors roll will always be about the learning, not the tools.
3) get out of the way
Dan Meyer - be less helpful - patience with irresolution
Alan November - who owns the learning - change will only happen if we give up the ownership - 2 min

redefine the role of the adult in the room very clearly.
The role of the adult can no longer be described as a teacher when everybody is a teacher.
Thinking of the adult as the only teacher is artificially turning abundance into scarcity
and it's minimizing our available resources exponentially.
We can ask interesting questions, like: how do you feel about your friend not being so good about math?

A fixed group of people that constantly interact with each other and learn from each other.
The leader also learns, but in different domains.
If teaching is helping others then everybody is at the same time student and teacher.
The adult in the room is also student and teacher, and is there to supervise and direct, but not to control.

In order to maintain community/change - need to work thru 3 human universals
1) We're all humans and we all want to be treated as humans all of the time.
2) We all make mistakes. When those mistakes are rectified gracefully remarkable stories
are being created.
3) We all have our own cultures and values that don't always match but we all try to do good.
w/in plns - discover design do
per Alan November - myths and opportunities....
and - 2 things we're short on: time and money
so give them back time in class and quit spending so much on gimmicks to help teach

This standard would be assessed at a building level by whether or not each staff member is engaged in their own carefully selected pln, that stretches them daily.
Proof would be
1) the ability to ask any teacher on any given day, what they learned the day before.
2) visible modeling of teacher's pln experience and their learning with their class daily. The teacher's comfort/patience with irresolution, and the teachers ability to know what to do when she doesn't know what to do (erica mcwilliams - usefully ignorant.)

the short version (part 2 of 3 things that should be standard in public school)
process
are your teachers actively involved in some type of professional/personal learning environment where they are being challenged and learning something new daily that they bring to and model for their students?___________________________________________________________
