Final response opportunity
Here it is---the final response opportunity of the Curriculum 21 book study for the spring group. I hope it has been a meaningful learning experience for you and that it will help you lead your staff to consider the possibilities. I encourage you to continue visiting the blog because the summer study group will begin posting comments soon. By the time we get to the leadership retreat in August, everyone will have had opportunity to read and learn from each other. We will use all the comments to continue our learning at the retreat and throughout next year. Here are the final set of questions.
Chapter 12
1. As a classroom teacher, how does the author's changing perceptions about the savvy student match your faculty's perceptions?
2. How might we help our faculty have "the light go on" through the use of a salient use of a piece of hardware (video podcasting camera) to a Web 2.0 site?
3. How can our professional staff revise its instructional style and approach to match the digital child arriving each day?
4. How might we use social networks for our own professional growth? How might we use social networks to stimulate the growth and knowledge of our learners?
Chapter 13
1. Which specific 21st century curriculum and instruction transitions will take "some getting used to" for faculty, administrators, and students?
2. Are there specific Habits of Minds (from the list of 16 habits, pp. 212-213) that need cultivation in your school community to make the transition into the 21st century?
3. How can you support these habits of mind? What will use and support look like in practice?
4. What do the authors mean by changing our "mental model" in terms of planning communicating in schools? What mental model is dominant now?
