Searching for PBL experts to help yr school? Look down the hall, says @brendasherry bit.ly/WGUznl#plpnetwork #aisinetwork

This is the drama teacher’s struggle: listening, watching, setting up situations that will foreshadow the direction of the journey, knowing when to intervene, when to use a particular strategy to open up discussion, to move the students into action, to cause them to pause, to reflect, to rethink, and all this without predetermining the learning, the content, the meat of the lesson.
and all this without predetermining the learning, the content, the meat of the lessonand all this without predetermining the learning, the content, the meat of the lessonand all this without predetermining the learning, the content, the meat of the lesson

great post - great insight.. i just think we're missing something huge here..
krishnamurti - partial freedom is no freedom..


 It’s crucial that they sometimes play the role of ‘student’ in order to do this modeling of what learning looks like

[does this bug me because i suck at it?]        
Authentic projects can bring students into “being and doing” as they personally connect to curriculum. 
they are the curriculum.. new.. everyday..      no?                                                                         
interesting to quote papert.. then miss some of his most profound words..
it's not about fitting kid to curriculum...it's about finding/facilitating curriculum within each person..
i'm thinking that's how we re missing breathtakingnes..
and it's ginormously huge.
partial freedom is no freedom..

we wind up with people upset about the conditions shared in the video above
i don't know.

The work of the arts is never quite finished, and reflection is a constant part of the process. Imagine rich portfolios of students’ work as scientists, historians or mathematicians, expanding and demonstrating increasing mastery throughout their years at school.
yes
and- imagine if none of it was focussed on proof.. it was just a trail of a life fully lived

RT @denbizjournal: Kaiser Permanente investing $3 million to improve Colorado school health. Funds used 2 measure & track health of students
