"Good teaching is a major undertaking. Make no mistake–teaching has never been easy. But as we come upon 2014, as a profession teaching is increasingly characterized by its possibility, accountability, and persistent mutation. Which makes it a challenge to do at all, much do well. The response to these challenges is a mix of building-level professional development, self-directed teacher improvement, and a troubling amount of teacher burnout. So how can you teacher smarter rather than simply grunting harder?" Via Beth Dichter

How about asking the student to teach you? They nearly always come up with something different, which you can add to your own notes. Students are also great at acting out scenes, particularly when they are organising other students. Give them a mark for it. Then test their knowledge a few days later with a 30 minute test. curating for www.homeschoolsource.co.uk. Also have a look at www.hotmoodle.com.

"There is often a big divide between what happens in the laboratory and the way laboratory findings are practically applied. The relationship between neuroscience research and education is no exception. While there are numerous educational products that claim to be based on neuroscience research (often quite dubiously so), the real impact of brain-based research on education has been much more subtle." This article "highlights some of the key ways that neuroscience is changing the classroom of today for the better." Topics include: cognitive tutoring, later start time in high schools, individualized education, making learning fun, and much more. Via Beth Dichter, Tom Perran

George Couros provided insight on the 8 things we need to look for in today's classrooms. Sylvia Duckworth recently created this graphic that represents George's blog post from Jan. 2013. These 8 things are elements that you would discover in a personalized learning environment where the learners become self-directed and self-motivated. Thank you George for providing a narrative about these 8 things to share with the education world.
