<div id="BlogContent"><h3>Experts weigh in on how administrators can support teachers in implementing collaboration and creativity</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.eschoolnews.com/files/2013/10/creativeresized.jpg" rel="external"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-132739" alt="support-teachers" src="http://www.eschoolnews.com/files/2013/10/creativeresized.jpg" width="215" height="170"/></a><sup>[1]</sup>Implementing broad concepts like critical thinking and communication may seem like natural next steps to educators, but unless teachers receive support from school policy and infrastructure, providing students with a true 21<sup>st</sup> century education may not be so easy.</p>
<p>This was a key topic of discussion during a recent Connected Educator Month webinar, hosted by the<a href="http://p21.org/" rel="external">Partnership for 21<sup>st</sup> Century Skills</a> <sup>[2]</sup> (P21) and <a href="http://edleader21.com/" rel="external">EdLeader21</a> <sup>[3]</sup>—a national network of school and district leaders focused on integrating the 4Cs into education.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The 4Cs–communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity–are part of P21’s mission to help educators teach students 21<sup>st</sup>century skills. Webinar panelists said this task can’t be accomplished without support from school administrators in the way of space design, instructional practices, and school policy.</p>
<p>(<em>Next page: Infrastructure and policy support</em>)</p>
<p>Dana Strother, chief academic officer at Douglas County School District in Colorado, said her district “looked at Bloom’s Taxonomy and vetted our state’s standards through the taxonomy” during an evaluation of instructional practice.</p>
<p>“Areas that were lacking we improved through what we call ‘World Class Outcomes,’ and instructional design that allows for the 4Cs. We also provided CIA [curriculum and instruction alignment] and wove authentic learning experiences into the curriculum for support,” she said.</p>
<p>The district also made it a priority to provide supporting infrastructure through district policy on risk-opportunities.</p>
<p>“It’s important to let teachers know, in various ways, but also through policy, that we support risk-taking opportunities, or new strategies, projects, or professional development opportunities that may be new or unique,” she said.</p>
<p>For example, Douglas County lets teachers experience inquiry-based professional development opportunities in order for teachers to learn through the same practices they’re expected to teach students.</p>
<p>“We’re asking teacher to incorporate new kinds of teaching that include the 4Cs, so why should teachers in turn be taught in a different manner? Sometimes by thinking outside of the box and going against traditional methods, especially from an administrator standpoint, the results are better,” Strother said.</p>
<p>Randy Fielding, chairman and founding partner of educational facilities planning and architectural design firm <a href="http://www.fieldingnair.com/" rel="external">Fielding Nair International</a> <sup>[4]</sup>, said he believes school design also factors heavily into incorporating the 4Cs into a student’s daily life.</p>
<p>Fielding’s design firm tries to incorporate 20 “learning modalities” into school design, which include concepts, such as Independent Study, Peer Tutoring, Team Collaboration, and One-on-One Learning, to support the 4Cs of instruction.</p>
<p>“To have a truly 21<sup>st</sup>-century school, you have to inspire organic collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and communication, and focusing on design can help. For example, you could have a ‘watering hole’ space off hallways where students could casually converse; you could have a ‘cave space’ where students could reflect for independent thinking; and you could have a ‘campfire space’ where everyone gathers to collaborate,” Fielding said.</p>
<p>(<em>Next page: Barriers, and ways to offer more support</em>)</p>
<p>Panelists emphasized that it’s also important for administrators and teachers to understand that instruction focused on the 4Cs doesn’t just work for certain kinds of subjects, students, or teachers.</p>
<p>“The 4Cs work for every kind of student and teacher in classrooms across the country,” said Donna Harris-Aikens, director of Education Policy and Practice at the <a href="http://www.nea.org/" rel="external">National Education Association</a> <sup>[5]</sup> (NEA). “It’s less a series of requirements and more just authentic learning. For example, a math class could use its English and design skills to help draft a proposal to help senior citizens in their community make their homes more accessible. For this kind of project, you need the 4Cs in STEM, English, and community service.”</p>
<p>Fielding said it’s important that school and district leaders support teachers in working together to develop collaborative projects for their students.</p>
<p>One of the schools his firm works with has a student-run lunch program through which students negotiate with local farmers. They serve the week’s menu selections on carts around the school so students can taste-test their creations. Students in the program generate quarterly reports on profit and loss, and send those reports off to the school board.</p>
<p>“Students get credit for working in this program, which essentially teaches them collaboration skills, analytical skills, and even creative skills, thanks to cooking,” he said.</p>
<p>However, panelists said that there are still barriers for teachers who want to pursue the 4Cs, including getting first-world experience on how to actually teach broad concepts like creativity.</p>
<p>“That’s why we introduced the Creative Innovator Network in our district, which allows teachers to collaborate with not only their peers on different projects, but also local businesses to brainstorm ideas on how students can better serve the community,” said Strother. “We also bring students into the teacher professional development sessions to hear their voice and how <i>they</i> enjoy learning, so that teachers can adapt their instruction.”</p>
<p>“The biggest barrier for teachers is time,” said Harris-Aikens. “Finding time to make everything work effectively and collaborate is hard, especially because planning, or collaborating, time needs to be on a consistent and continual basis. Students also need a large amount of time to work on these projects, and to have time flexibility in case they make mistakes, as well. Administrators need to make sure teachers and students can have that time in their day.”</p>

<hr/><p>How do you remember the classrooms where you spent your formative years? If you're picturing a teacher writing on a chalkboard while kids sit in neat rows, it's time for a refresher course. Not only is that chalkboard a relic from yesteryear, but so are many of the old-school approaches to teaching and learning. Even parents are taking on new roles in today's changing classrooms.</p>
<p>For good reasons, schools across the country are making the shift to 21st-century learning. If you're a parent of school-aged children, you've likely heard this phrase. Today's students need to master a new set of skills that will prepare them for the challenges and changes ahead. Being ready for college and careers means not only learning important academic content, but also knowing how to collaborate, think critically and creatively, and use technology tools to communicate.</p>
<p>Rote learning and memorization won't help students become nimble, creative thinkers who can work well with others. Instead, schools that embrace 21st-century learning are creating opportunities for students to practice these critical skills through technology-rich experiences. Project-based learning gives students a chance to solve real-world problems while learning what it takes for teamwork to work well.</p>
<p>To help parents get a better picture of what effective 21st-century learning looks like, Edutopia has just published a free guide. <a href="http://www.edutopia.org/parent-21st-century-learning-resource-guide"><em>A Parent's Guide to 21st-Century Learning</em></a> is available to download at no cost.</p>
<p>Along with examples of engaged learning from elementary, middle and high schools, parents will also find suggestions for new ways they can get involved in their children's learning. If you think volunteering at school means bringing cupcakes or chaperoning field trips, you may be in for a surprise!</p>
<p>Here are just a few examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you're a parent who travels occasionally, arrange to Skype with your child's classroom and offer a parent-on-the-street report or tour from another part of the world. Skype is a free service that uses the Internet for voice or video conferencing. Many teachers use <a href="http://education.skype.com/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Skype in the Classroom</a> to find partners for projects that extend learning beyond the school and even across time zones.</li>
<li>In schools that are involved in project-based learning, students often need to consult with outside experts. Volunteer for this role and share what you know. It's a short-term way to connect with the classroom. In the process, you'll get a better appreciation for the deep learning that takes place during challenging projects.</li>
<li>Find out if your child's school uses collaborative tools like <a href="http://www.edmodo.com/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Edmodo</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/edu/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> or <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dnL00TdmLY" class="external-link" target="_blank">wikis</a>. These technology tools offer parents a window into classroom activities. Some teachers even invite parents to comment on students' blogs. Ask teachers how you can use online tools to connect with students.</li>
<li>Start a discussion group at your school to help fellow parents understand how education is changing -- and how they can help. You might plan a book talk or host a screening about a film that focuses on new ways of learning. Check the parent guide for suggested resources to help you learn more.</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, we hope you'll join the Edutopia community to learn more about what's new and exciting in public education. You can take part in ongoing discussions about what works in education and connect with teachers and parents from across the country.

<p>Thanks to Superintendent David Gamberg for sharing this with SL 2.0's community!</p>
<p>Greetings, Committed Sardines! I am a student at Southold High School in Southold, New York. I am going to be writing about my school’s process as we move to implement a Digital Citizenship Contract to replace our current Internet usage policy. To do this we have formed a committee that consists of students in grades 9 through 12 working in concert with our Superintendent, Mr. David Gamberg.</p>
<p>Earlier this year Mr. Lee Crockett came to our school and spoke to both the teachers and members of the community about the 21st Century Fluency Project and the need for changes in how and what we teach in school. After hearing him speak I approached Mr. Gamberg about the possibility of restructuring our internet usage policy (which I’ll summarize as “blocked unless proven innocent”). He suggested I email Mr. Crockett and ask for a recommendation that we could take to the school board. Mr. Crockett seemed excited to help and a few weeks ago the committee met for the first time on the topic with him, via Skype video calling as he is traveling.</p>
<p>During our talk Mr. Crockett explained the process we will have to go through and the questions that we will need to have answers for if we want to not give the Board of Education any choice but to agree with us. He told us about other schools that have implemented the Digital Citizenship Contract, and programs like it and suggested that we contact them and ask for recommendations in favor of the contract. He also explained that the terms of the contract and the concept of Digital Citizenship are presented each year by students, to the students before they sign it. He suggested we make power point presentations and scripts for these meetings at every level. We also must plan our presentation to the Board of Education, including any multimedia parts we wish to include.</p>
<p>In order to get all of this work done by the last Board meeting of the year (less than a month) we plan to divide and conquer. Two committee members are serving as spokespeople. They are drafting and will be sending out letters to school districts and education experts in order to gather corroborating evidence. Another group is going to work on designing the power point presentations.</p>
<p>They will undoubtedly collaborate with the group that is planning the actual script of the presentation. One student is serving as a sort of secretary by keeping minutes of all our meetings and giving them to all other members. Finally, I am documenting the process and helping the group to collaborate and share information. We are using a free online collaboration system to share documents, schedule meetings, and keep each other abreast on each of our individual progress in between meetings.</p>
<p>If you wish to contact us you can email us at <em>citizenship-2lhd5@wiggiomail.com</em> or leave us a voice mail at +1(631)867-2510. If you think you can contribute in some way to our mission, please do not hesitate to contact us. Any kind words or helpful insights would be greatly appreciated, or even if you just want to let us know that you don’t think we’re crazy for not accepting the status quo. Thanks for reading; I will keep you updated as we progress.<br/><br/><em>Blaise Linn</em></p> Bloom's Taxonomy 2.0tag:schoolleadership20.com,2011-04-21:1990010:Topic:400262011-04-21T15:47:55.901ZBlanca Duarte Martinihttps://schoolleadership20.com/profile/BlancaEDuarte

<p><b>Synopsis:</b></p>
<p>This is an update to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy which attempts to account for the new behaviours and actions emerging as technology advances and becomes more ubiquitous. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy describes many traditional classroom practices, behaviours and actions, but does not account for the new processes and actions associated with Web 2.0 technologies, infowhelm (the exponential growth in information), increasing ubiquitous personal technologies or cloud computing.</p>
<p><b>Bloom's Digital Taxonomy</b> isn't about the tools or technologies rather it is about using these to facilitate learning. Outcomes on rubrics are measured by competence of use and <b>most</b> importantly the<b>quality of the process or product</b>. For example. Bookmarking a resource is of no value if the resource is inappropriate, invalid, out of date or inaccurate.</p>
<p>Bloom's Digital Taxonomy lends itself to problem and project based learning where the student must work through the entire process of development and evaluation. The <a href="http://www.21stcenturyfluency.com/"><span>21st Century Fluency Projects</span></a> <a href="http://www.21stcenturyfluency.com/fluencies.cfm"><span>6D model for Solution Fluency</span></a> is an excellent example of how to work through the project or problem based learning frame work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bloom's Digital Taxonomy has been translated into Spanish by Claudia Uribe de Piedrahita, the Director of Eduteka and is available at <a href="http://www.eduteka.org/TaxonomiaBloomDigital.php"><span>http://www.eduteka.org/TaxonomiaBloomDigital.php</span></a></p>

One of the topics surrounding 21st Century skills and learning seems to be in coming up with a common definition for "it". In your own words please describe what 21st Century Skills and Learning mean to you when you hear it or say it.<br />
<br />
How would you describe a 21st Century Learning Environment?

The idea of technology in education is to enhance learning, not limit it. Yet a large portion of students say teachers and school IT departments are doing just that: throwing up barriers to learning with the very technology that's supposed to facilitate it. And teachers, administrators, and parents seem to be largely unaware of this, according to the results of the 2007 Speak Up survey released Tuesday by Project Tomorrow.<br />

I purchased this the video after reading the book and we showed it to our staff. Many have since borrowed it and showed it to their staff as well. It is incredibly thought proving and very well presented.<br />

There is much to learn from Daniel Pink and the video runs approximately 55 minutes.<br />
<br />
After you watch it, lets have a conversation in this thread.<br />

PLEASE purchase this video. If anyone is in Nassau County and would like to come by my office to borrow it, please contact me....

As we are approaching the end of the first decade of the 21st Century, we are still trying to figure out what 21st century skills, learning, and workforce should be or look like. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills Consortium has done a great job in developing the framework, fostering the national discourse on the needs for 21st century skills and learning, and expanding its reach through its consultation and assistance to state education agencies in their learning standards revisions or updates. I would like to know how our educational leaders, especially technology savy leaders have envisioned the new learning environment and what operationalized 21st century schools or learning would or should look like and where we can find some preliminary model(s) of practices around us for reference. To some extent, I believe that you can not wait for a 21st century learning model to take a shape and rather you should make it happen through experiment and innovation. Who would be in a better position to do so than this group of experienced and talented educational leaders on the Island?<br />
