Burke MLTS Discussion - Ch 6 to Ch 7 by David Panush https://padlet.com/pand0/mlts4 Feel free to move through the book and the discussions at your own pace. I’ll send out periodic reminders and set out a rough schedule. We’ll break the book up into four parts and post discussion prompts for each one. Respond to the prompts; share your favorite quotes and ideas; pose your own questions and reflections; and build upon other’s answers. Have fun with it!

“We believe teacher effectiveness should be assessed in the same way that students’ work should be evaluated, on the basis of digital portfolios. These portfolios should contain videotapes of lessons, examples of the work their students have produced in the class, and videotaped focus groups with students where they’d talk about how they had been engaged as learners. Teacher effectiveness can be assessed according to the evidence of improvement in students’ work between September and June. Most teachers we know would eagerly embrace this tailored form of accountability,” (pg. 232).

Do you agree or disagree? What are the pros and cons of a digital portfolio approach to evaluation

“The role of education is no longer to teach content but to help our children learn — in a world that rewards the innovative and punishes the formulaic,” (pg. 197).

Again, we’d like to know if you agree or disagree with this statement? Also, how might we help our students become lifelong learners?

Consider trying one of them this fall.
  • What would you try?
  • Why would you choose that strategy? What's the advantage for you? For the students?
  • How would you build on this strategy?
