Nomadic Learners: The nthLearners

For two decades or more, we have experienced a steady, global Kerosion of appropriated state support. In the 1970s, state general revenue appropriations covered 85% of the core academic costs (faculty salaries, operating costs of academic units, core adminis-tration). Today, they cover about a third, and the share falls every year. There have been huge rises in tuition and fees, with no

Establishing a New Compact

Over time, these qualities drove American society to redefine the goal of higher education, which became, in Kerr’s words, “to serve less the perpetuation of an elite class and more the creation of a relatively classless society, with the doors of opportunity open to all through education.

Permeable Boundaries

The combination of distribution of physical capital and human capital creates a new situation.

Open education is the combination of open licensing and web-based social media. It brings some fundamental challenges to the way we think about higher education and the institutional arrangements in which it is organized (Katz, 2008; Liyoshi & Kumar, 2008).1

The building blocks provided by the OER movement, along with e-Science and e-Humanities and the resources of the Web 2.0, are creating the conditions for the emergence of new kinds of open participatory learning ecosystems

Open pedagogy could be considered as a blend of strategies, technologies, and networked communities that make the process and products of education more transparent, understandable, and available to all the people involved.

classrooms under control and are teaching in a responsible way.

This is spending a lot of money to find that nearly all teachers are effective and to generate teacher feedback that does not improve student learning

The finding is saying observations and test scores are measuring different things.

Using test scores to evaluate teachers has been controversial, to put it mildly

But what principals observe is whether teachers are teaching. The crucial question is whether students are learning.

A principal (or district administrator) comes into a teacher’s classroom with a measurement tool in hand (now more often on a laptop), and checks off whether he or she observes various things in the classroom.

The best course may be a cautious, thoughtful understanding of planned moves.

With their current winning streak standing at nine, they need eight more to tie with the 1992/93 Pittsburgh Penguins, and nine to set a new NHL record.

With a two-day break since the game in Detroit, the Flyers will face the Colorado Avalanche on the road (December 14), then move onto the Dallas Stars (December 17). That concludes Philly’s three-game road trip, with them hosting the Nashville Predators (December 19) and then the Washington Capitals (December 21).

What is Open Pedagogy?

These things thou must always have in mind: What is the nature of the universe, and what is mine—in particular

Give thyself leisure to learn some good thing, and cease roving and wandering to and fro. Thou must also take heed of another kind of wandering, for they are idle in their actions, who toil and labour in this life, and have no certain scope to which to direct all their motions, and desires.

Which thou shalt do; if thou shalt go about every action as thy last action, free from all vanity, all passionate and wilful aberration from reason, and from all hypocrisy, and self-love, and dislike of those things,

from whom, as a channel from the spring, thou thyself didst flow: and that there is but a certain limit of time appointed unto thee

As for those things that are commonly said to happen by fortune, even those must be conceived to have dependence from nature, or from that first and general connection, and concatenation of all those things, which more apparently by the divine providence are administered and brought to pass. All things flow from thence: and whatsoever it is that is, is both necessary, and conducing to the whole (part of which thou art), and whatsoever it is that is requisite and necessary for the preservation of the general, must of necessity for every particular nature, be good and behoveful.

And as for thy life, consider what it is; a wind; not one constant wind neither, but every moment of an hour let out, and sucked in again

It is also widely acknowledged that the current practices for ensuring that coop-erating teachers are professionally prepared for their work are inadequate and fail to address some of the most basic issues associated with their supervisory work (Glickman & Bey, 1990; Knowles & Cole, 1996).

As is what often happens in education, many of our faculty and staff in essence worried that we were “throwing the baby out with the bath water” in trying to focus less on the presentation of arbitrary “content” (e.g., the workings of the circulatory system)

John Bransford

In his book Learning in the Cloud: How (and Why) to transform Schools with Digital Media, Mark Warschauer, a professor of Education and Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, writes of the need to teach “21st century skills” alongside content in schools; that the “separation” of these two in schools and classrooms is potentially harmful to our future global citizenry.

As I read the first few chapters of Warschauer’s book, I was reminded of what happened in my school when, two years ag

However, as with any calls for “balance” in education, what is needed is not repeated proclamations for it (like obscenity, many of us fail to define it but claim that we “know it when [we] see it”), but a clear articulation of what it looks and sounds like in a classroom. For that, I’ll have to do some major reflecting and get back to you.

11 states have evaluation systems for principals that are exactly the same as the requirements for teachers

The use of student learning objectives/outcomes (SLOs) isn’t helping differentiate teacher performance.

But there’s also a real downside for states that indulge critics by delaying implementation, adopting hold harmless policies or reducing the weight of student achievement in evaluations

There is a troubling pattern emerging across states with a track record of implementing new performance-based teacher evaluation systems. The vast majority of teachers – almost all – are identified as effective or highly effective.

Each of these approaches has its benefits and drawbacks.

The most common bit of concrete advice offered by Dweck and others enamored of the growth mindset is to praise kids for their effort (“You tried really hard”) rather than for their ability (“You’re really smart”) in order to get them to persevere.

Depending on how strictly the behaviorist paradigm was followed, hypotheses andconclusions were more or less restricted to discussion of observable behaviors andthe environmental stimuli that preceded them (Strike, 1974)

his shift in the view of language acqui-sition from conditioned behavior to natural process inevitably reverberated in thereading research community in the form of psycholinguistics (Goodman, 1965

The efforts of researchers during this periodgave rise to extensive literature on learners and the learning process that re-mains an enduring legacy for the domain of reading.

Shedroff (2009) argued that in current design practice, the main focus should be on creating environments that encourage relationships with individuals, experiences that connect on an emotional and value level

He discussed a form of knowledge that would involve learners thinking about and confronting themselves with the uncertainties and dilemmas in their own lives.

Blend Syllables : Ms. Finney’s Kindergarteners have alre ady learned to clap syllables. They can do this well with words up to three syllab les. She is now interested in helping them blend syllables. Since this can be challenging, she decides to use visual cues to help. She selects some pictures of animal s from a picture dictionary, ex pands them on the copier, and brings them to class. She says: “This aftern oon, girls and boys, we are going to practice putting syllables together. I am going to show yo u a part of a picture, and I will tell you what it says. Then, you can repeat it.” She hides the pictures from the students. The first word is tiger . She cuts the copied picture into two pieces. She holds up the first one and says, “/t  ī /.” She points under it, and says, “When I point to the piece, you can say it. This is /t ī  /.” She points and her students respond, “/t  ī /.”
