Training and Assessment Innovation

As education continues to change, educator roles will need to adapt to expanded learning environments in which learners learn in new ways. Explore the new 7 roles that educators may have in the future to support personalized learning environments

If I ask you or your students, "How do you learn," how many of you could clearly articulate this process? If you can, are the strategies you're using the best ones for learning? 

Apply New Learning Often and in Meaningful Contexts

The more you can apply what you’re learning to your every day, the more it’ll stick in your head. The reason is simple. When you’re learning by doing, you’re implementing everything that makes our memory work. When you’re able to connect what you’re learning with a real world task, that forms the bonds in your brain, and subsequently the skills you’re learning will stick around.

We learn best when we have context, and that applies to new skills as much as it does random facts in school. That’s why something like the transfer of learning is helpful when your learning a new skill. This means you’re applying your new skills in your day to day life in a context that matters.

It is never too late to learn...

A great disucssion on on the connection between doing and learning (retention).

I'm loving this as a look at teaching in 2015, and a professional development growth mindset.  

very similar to Dweck Mindset work. be reflective, try new ideas, embrace change....i ant do that...yet

What is it for the future that we need our students to know?

Nothing too new under the sun here, but a solid list in easy-to-digest format.

One of your primary role as a leader is to ensure the blooming of your team members and co-workers.

The 21st century leader must have the ability to make the most out of every situation. They are courageous and not afraid to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries to make things better. Because of these qualities and many others, the best leaders know how to get the most out of people; they enable the full potential in others. 

An employee’s success, the lens they see through, the decisions they make and how they navigate their careers are all heavily influenced by the types of leaders they are able to observe and learn from. This is why you will find that many of today’s best leaders were mentored by great leaders themselves (see examples of successful technology leaders and their mentors). Success as a leader is a by-product of the leaders and mentors we associate with throughout our careers.

good points to remember

Curar contenido es más que simplemente buscar y seleccionar información.

Blogging as a Curation Platform

Founder of scoopIT

Love this definition of pedagogy. Makes total sense!

Pedagogía: "Las estrategias, técnicas y enfoques que los profesores pueden utilizar para facilitar el aprendizaje."

If you are looking at 'blogging' as a possible classroom tool / strategy to use with students - then this infographic and accompanying 'blog' advice could be useful. 

I'm really proud to be in a learning community where these "in" ideas are welcomed with creativity!

Des idées évidentes mais sans doute pas encore pour tout le monde !

I love the way Sir Ken Robinson phrases his topics.  Here is another of his invaluable topics.

Creativity for Students,but also for Educators. 

Such an important corrective to today's standards and assessment driven education models. Go, Sir Ken!

This post is for educators who want to learn more about heutagogy and implement strategies that empower lifelong learners online.

Interesting idea for ePortfolio pedagogy.  Maybe the idea is to consider andragogy and heutagogy as distinct from pedagogy, or at least an evolution from it.

Kim Jaxon is interested in having her students “do the thing,” which, she says, means that she’s less interested in preparing them for some later occupation or activity, and more excited about having them “participating right now in ideas that matter to them right now.

Transformational teachers create experiences in their classrooms, melding the art and science of any subject and making their students care about learning.

Teacher observation works best when expectations are clear and participants understand how to use and benefit from the process...

The 2014 Horizon Report Focuses on Pedagogy. Have a look at the link below, and let us know - which horizon are you chasing?

This year’s “The Learning Curve” report from Pearson takes a look at education across the globe. One of the main things the report does is rank the world’s educational systems (which we’ll talk about in a different post). What I find even more interesting is the focus on what skills current students need to meet the ever changing needs of the global market, and some potential ways to address shortcomings in our collective educational systems.

Interesting that Pearson feels compelled to 'Rank the world's educational systems' when they are supplying so much of the world's schools with curriculum - ironic?

Freeman says he’s started using such techniques even in large classes. “My introductory biology course has gotten up to 700 students,” he says. “For the ultimate class session—I don’t say lecture—I’m showing PowerPoint slides, but everything is a question and I use clickers and random calling. Somebody droning on for 15 minutes at a time and then doing cookbook labs isn’t interesting.” Freeman estimates that scaling up such active learning approaches could enable success for tens of thousands of students who might otherwise drop or fail STEM courses.

A bold statement...

aulas expositivas nao sao apenas chatas, sao ineficientes para aprendizagem também...

Interesting read.

A MUST have graphic!!!
