Burke MLTS Discussion - Intro to Ch 3 by David Panush https://padlet.com/pand0/mlts1 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’d like to encourage you to take a few minutes to reflect on the most transformational aspects of your education — experiences that took place either inside or outside the classroom (pg. 4).

We’d love for you to share your answers with us!

This prompted the school to rethink the way courses were taught, and to eliminate almost half of the content. We wonder, where does content coverage rank in your own classroom? At Burke in general? ]]> 2017-07-11 00:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pand0/mlts1/wish/178431930 Prompt #3 pand0 https://padlet.com/pand0/mlts1/wish/178432003 Rachel Wolfe’s documentary, Losing Ourselves, mentioned on pages 46–47, recounts the loss of passion, purpose and curiosity as students move through elementary and high school. Do you agree that the way success is defined and evaluated in the modern academic context hampers rather than nurtures curiosity and passion in students? Do you think the modern apprenticeship model (page 22) helps support those capacities in students?]]> 2017-07-11 00:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pand0/mlts1/wish/178432003 Prompt #4 pand0 https://padlet.com/pand0/mlts1/wish/178432014 What is the purpose of education? Is our teaching approach one that actually helps our students to learn? What does it mean to teach and to learn? How do you define each of those?]]> 2017-07-11 00:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pand0/mlts1/wish/178432014 Prompt #5 pand0 https://padlet.com/pand0/mlts1/wish/178477923 How do we begin to make the education model of the future truly inclusive? What are key areas that need to be reimagined and redesigned to make this inclusive vision of education a reality?

Our focus shouldn’t be to give all kids equal access to the same bad education experience. We need to reinvent education and give all kids a fighting chance, (pg. 58).
