The truth is that the environment in the classroom is a key aspect that affects students' motivation for better or for worse.
This article provides four useful tips for teachers to create a positive classroom culture. The first one is about being close to our students by shaking hands at the beginning of the day and by asking them how they are feeling. Then we can ask them their expectations about the class and the people around them so as to get to agreements and ground rules that must be followed in class. Additionally, a team atmosphere must be created in order to make learners aware of the importance of having a good relationship with each other during the courses. Finally, if the efforts are not working, the team needs to get to new agreements again. The article is such a helpful element for future teachers to work together with their students to build a positive environment for learning that is full of teamwork and motivation.

And as teachers, we work to create a community where all students feel safe, supported and heard, no matter the dynamics in the room.

This article links with Unit Three through "language and communication". These 23 maps range from the history of languages, which languages connect with which, common languages in certain places, different phrases used in the same country for the same thing, and more. Looking at maps to spatially see language helps when trying to understand how the world communicates. One of the maps that I found interesting was the "New York tweets by language". It shows how diverse that city is, and how people are still preserving their native language in a English prominent country.

Unit 2: Shows how many languages are actually closely related. Whether or not they sound the same or are located in similar regions, many share the same origins. For example: many words in Spanish and English are the same due to their similar roots.

Education has far out-stretched its humble beginning that only involved reading, writing and understanding the subjects taught. With changing dynamics, students have evolved from information gatherers to learners looking for practical learning that extends beyond examinations and classrooms. Learning today, breaks the barriers of curriculum, seeping into the nuances of the mind and its effect on the overall development of a student. It takes into consideration, the different kinds of learners, their capabilities and interests, skills and will, to make learning more effective, leading to the emergence of deep learning.

Jesse Moyer shared his research on scaling personalized learning from the recent KnowledgeWorks paper, District Conditions for Scale, that he co-authored. Here is some of his reflections about the importance of meta-themes and the ten conditions to scale personalized learning. "While the conditions themselves are extremely important, it is the meta-themes that serve as the connective tissues of the conditions and are the reason that a district must implement each of the ten conditions in order to successfully scale practices to improve teaching, learning, and student achievement.
Vision The district’s vision should include the guiding principles on which each decision a district makes should be based. Each of the conditions should be aligned to the district’s vision for teaching and learning. Culture The vision clearly informs the culture each district is trying to create. A strong culture will encourage risk-taking among district and school leaders and teachers while enabling innovation at every level of the district. Transparency Transparency allows everyone in the district, from board members to community partners to parents and students, to take chances without fear of failure. By encouraging transparency, everyone in the district is better able to make decisions based on the best interests of the students."

This is a great visual representation of the power and learning opportunities of mistakes. The parent population needs to realize that greater and deeper understanding comes from making and correcting mistakes than memorizing merely to get the reward of a grade.

All good insights I particularly like Lead from possibility, not probability. |
