(Maybe they've already become the cynic Mark described.)]]> 2018-06-13 17:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267057631 Variation kkwhite1 https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267059488 How many variations can "average" lessons include for an "average" class?]]> 2018-06-13 17:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267059488 Types of Choice JR https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267060038 Choices can be simple, like choosing whom you want to work with on a project, but can also be quite sophisticated. Researchers describe choice types in terms of how they support three types of autonomy (Katz & Assor, 2007; Pattal, Cooper & Wynn, 2010; Stefanou et al, 2004).  Cognitive autonomy, perhaps the most complex type of choice to offer, has the most evidence that it promotes academic achievement, while other types of choice can increase motivation and engagement—two characteristics that are thought to have a positive influence on achievement. ]]> 2018-06-13 17:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267060038 Choice Overload JR https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267060621 Choice overload” (Beymer & Thomson, 2015) can occur when, (1) choices are offered for the first time, (2) students have too many choices, (3) choices are too different from each other, or (4) students feel rushed to make a choice. ]]> 2018-06-13 17:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267060621 The teacher's relationship with the student and the student's family is tasked to learning, not a general or non-specific regard or caring. The teacher cares that the student learn. donmarco https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267061523 2018-06-13 17:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267061523 Providing Effective Choices JR https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267061572 Research on choice suggests that choices should be personally relevant and interesting, students may need to be taught how to manage choice, choice may need to be scaffolded over time, choices are within an intermediate range of challenge, and most importantly, choice has the greatest effect when students have 3 to 5 options (Assor, et al., 2002; Beymer & Thomson, 2015; Evans & Boucher, 2015; Pattal, Cooper & Robinson, 2008). ]]> 2018-06-13 17:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267061572 Theresa, Knox County donmarco https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267062209 Relational Suasion and Variation fit their path.

Access, engage, express: pick one thing, do it well.  Always make forward progress.

When you use an LMS, you don't need to use all features right away.

They have personalized learning demonstration sites as an efficient local means to scale PL.
Learning Forward pilot site for reimagined PD; Student Success Learning Network.
Elementary and Secondary Zones and micro-teams for fast cycle improvement.

Nothing can ever be forced into anyone's mind except by brainwashing, which is the very opposite of genuine teaching. donmarco https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267066184 Mortimer Adler]]> 2018-06-13 18:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267066184 Gregg- Allow the system to flex around the student. donmarco https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267066466 2018-06-13 18:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267066466 Work Based Learning https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267066531 Learning in the community.]]> 2018-06-13 18:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267066531 John Ross: some might seek automation of the learning process; its should be a kind a strategic thinking on the part of the student: why are you seeking understanding and how will you apply this skill. donmarco https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267067657 2018-06-13 18:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267067657 Credit Advancement https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267067690 http://www.alsde.edu/sec/sct/Graduation%20Information/Credit%20Advancement.pdf#search=Credit%20advancement]]> 2018-06-13 18:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267067690 Emma- it's not random chaos, but a careful orchestration. donmarco https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267068134 2018-06-13 18:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jstwy/S2/wish/267068134
