I thought the comment from Finish teachers about drop out rates was fascinating. If a student is in trouble, we jump in and help right away, before they give up. We, obviously, do not have that reputation. Students leave, many times without even having a conversation with a teacher before they leave. It is interesting to see how much has to change in our education institutions in the US. ]]> 2020-02-05 01:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440690652 Homework 1 pfay66 https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440690710 2020-02-05 01:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440690710 Kim https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440690841 I liked reading how the theories about intelligence changed throughout the years; starting with it being a set number that was inherited, to understanding that intelligence is ever changing and can be taught and learned. I also enjoyed the paragraph on emotional intelligence, which is BIG in my classroom!

This quote makes so much sense. Kids need to move and be active and stimulated- It should not be surprising that kids get antsy and fidgety when expected to sit still and work for 2 hours. ]]> 2020-02-05 01:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440690879 Super insightful the way the presented the various types of learning all in one place. aimeeouellette722 https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691096 2020-02-05 01:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691096 Melanie https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691141 It was interesting that the chapter talks about a 19th century way of learning as something in the past but I think this way of learning is still very prevalent. However, I think special education is morphing into a new way of learning as individualistic. ]]> 2020-02-05 01:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691141 The article helped me realize that students need to be reminded that intelligence is built over time — not something static that they are born with. So many students think they're either smart or not, and there's nothing they can do to change it. haleyjf https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691145 2020-02-05 01:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691145 Adam https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691160 I really liked the idea that intelligence is flexible, it can go both ways, up or down depending on one's environment. ]]> 2020-02-05 01:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691160 Desirae https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691276 I liked the reminder of that "All kids do lean but not on the same day and not in the same way" ]]> 2020-02-05 01:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691276 All good points, but how can we as teachers make those big changes that he talks about?

This really spoke to me and wasn't something that I thought was possible until I was much older. I felt cornered into one type of learning as a child so I didn't thrive in certain classrooms and was always too scared to answer questions because I was more scared of being wrong then learning.]]> 2020-02-05 01:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691365 How can we achieve this! https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691429 With so many ways that students show/build intelligence, how can the traditional general teaching setting hope to accomplish this along side obligations to teach the curriculum fully. I am encouraged by the idea that teaching children to exercise their brains, and instill hard work and confidence in their ability to grow intellectually, however, how can we hope to reach this goal for every student while tackling the requirements we have as teachers, as well as needing to sometimes combat other influences for our students (i.e. home life, peers, socioeconomic gaps, etc.)?

One of the interesting ones was the idea that education should not be taught in a mechanical nature.As if it was rolled off an assembly line. Classrooms should be a place were students are allowed to be creative and experiment and try new things. Children are naturally curious and its up to us as educators to seed this curiosity. 
How can teacher accomplish this when bogged downed by standardized testing and a heavy focus on the math and sciences.]]> 2020-02-05 01:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440691799 Really agreed with and appreciated Robinson's view of the problems with our current educational system.

I literally shouted "hell yeah" at my computer when he said that No Child Left Behind is not about inclusion it's about conformity. burkeriley95 https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440692009 2020-02-05 01:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440692009 Intelligence of a Bygone Era https://padlet.com/mking25/h51az63odtpn/wish/440692051 The "Anglo-Saxon Purity" of the Industrial Revolution was "elitist, racist and sexist p.6". This seems very true, and shaped "smartness" back in the day. Actions were fueled by fear of the "other". Is "Intelligence" still shaped from racism and old ideas?

In the article it talked about how there are different ways to grow our intelligence.
