Kids are curious…duh

Did you know Frankie cannot see the colour of her skin? She will never know what her skin looks like!

Why do we have two eyes and not one?

If we stick out our middle toe is that the same as our middle finger?

How did mom make me?

So why do we shoot down their questions?

Short-term gain vs.

long-term development

I dare you to look into our school, take a look at the the classrooms and tell me that they look inviting, because they do not. Bland walls, rough carpet, stiff desks that were assembled into shabby groups placed sporadically throughout the room. If you want kids to enjoy and participate in school, is it not logical to make them feel comfortable in this environment? High Tech High out in California is an extremely successful school and renowned for its pioneering with student voice, and it has a very unique setup when it comes to the classrooms, they have glass walls and easily movable furniture. They foster the kind of environment that makes students feel at home and interested, not like they are in a bland, pastel prison.

Whatever happened to just plain old good teaching and learning?

G O A TGood Ol’ Ass Teaching

1. Teach with Passion

What is your ‘wow’?

Differentiation for Teachers

Don’t be so focused on today’s problems that we put off planning for tomorrow’s

opportunities

TeachingNot sure why we do this job sometimes, but it sure gives us a damn good purpose to get out of bed in the morning!

To create student first culture, you must put them second and treat teachers as first.

Why will I be successful in this class even if I've never been successful before?

your classroom, would you have an

Why do I share all of this with you today?

Formal learning often doesn’t make sense without informal learning.

Obstacles

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal.

Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing himself.

We have not succeeded in answering all of your problems. The answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions. In some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things.

Think About

•Maker culture in classroom•Start small i.e. after testing, before holiday

•Slow integration• It is okay to step away from standards and do direct focus on 21st century skills

•How can this benefit standards when we provide time to explicitly teach these skills?

Resources

●School newsletter

●Donors Choose

●SCRA/RDA Grants

●Phone Calls - by kids and you!

●AEA Materials

●You have to know what you NEED and HOW you will use it.

●Prove things yourself!

●Do the work and money will appear!

outcome you’d hope for?

Imagine this workshop is widely successful, what will have changed for the better?

Suppose we look at the workshop as a step in a larger initiative, what’s the ultimate

goal?

Take out a piece of paper

Challenge: If you were given a an unlimited budget to do a

project for government, mission, business…….

Write down three names of people in your school who

you want to help do this work.

Ponder ThisHow many of you think your

name came up more than once?

If not, then….When are you going to change your behaviors and actions to become a

leader like the names of the people you wrote down?

You did not wake up today to be mediocre.

If you were able to believe in 🎅 for 8 years, you can believe in yourself for 🕐.
