Students utilized legos, robotic…[Read more]

Southside is a school that is moving very quickly toward personalized learning. Having such a enthusiastic principal certainly provides this wonderful staff with support and encouragement. Southside Elementary is a school to watch for innovation in teaching.

I agree, Abbie! Congratulations Jill, teachers and students! I hope to learn more about this project at the Summit!

Appalachian Renaissance Initiative 5 years, 5 months agoHow has the conversations changed this year? Let me tell you, during our Elementary Meeting today, I was so impressed by the conversations that our teachers were having about the Mathematics Standards and where the material should be covered. By having our teachers focus designing end of the year assessments based on the standards, we are one…[Read more]

This is really big, Jeff. If standards are demanding and tests accurately measure achievement of those standards, then curriculum and instruction will become richer and more rigorous. If teachers teach and assess the standards the results should be higher scores on the state assessments without the perceived need for three weeks focus on test…[Read more]

Appalachian Renaissance Initiative 5 years, 5 months agoDr. Bill Daggett’s presentation is below.
Paul Green uploaded new file(s): hazard-ky.pdf to Appalachian Renaissance Initiative-
He was great. I am so glad folk who missed the live Daggett can see his presentation.
-
I can see a correlation to the Data Summit we had earlier at KVEC in this presentation. Very interesting.
-
-
Thanks for posting Bill Daggett’s presentation. His message remains consistent and is perhaps even more relevant today. I’m interested in your thoughts about his reference to the Common Core as “outdated?”
-
Daggett spoke about that… The Common Core was initially developed in 2008. It is now 2015 and the world has changed so much during that time. The Common Core standards were written to address skills needed in 2008… not in 2015 and beyond.
-
Yes….he explained his reasoning….I would just like to see more evidence for the basis of his statement in addition to dates.
-
Hey Linda… your comments are definitely thought provoking. I have attached below an article that Daggett wrote they addresses some your question. As far as for Common Core… I think we have all said it ourselves… the CCS are the basement, and we must be looking to expand and go beyond them. I took Daggett’s comments as a statement that…[Read more]

I agree, Paul. This publication is a great companion piece for Dr. Daggett’s comments. I especially liked this Point:

This is great. Really drives home the need for Personalized Learning and the changing job outlook of our future. We must have more “Ted’s” not “Bill’s”.

Peer Observation Excel Form to PGES 5 years, 6 months agoTool allows a peer to script with time stamps and then align evidence to the domains and components all on one spreadsheet that can be uploaded as an artifact.
-
Just emailed the document to our staff. One thing that I see right off that I liked was the drop downs, that allowed me to select components. One suggestion, I would edit the cells below “Enter Observed Evidence statement below” to allow text to be wrapped. This way the statements would not overlap with the other cells.
-
Since our peer observations in the fall, our high school has set up a “show case” of sorts, allowing all teachers to pick a couple different teaching strategies they want to see in action and visit classrooms to see model instruction. They had several teachers volunteer to have the others visit their classrooms, and the administrators are having…[Read more]

This is exciting Liz. What are you discovering as you proceed through the project? Student engagement and motivation?
-
The students love it. They love the tech part. I have found time restraints a little difficult. I am the Library Media Specialist at the school and I only have classes for 30 min. Students also liked that they could choose who they wanted to do the report about.
-
-
This is great to see students integrating technology into their projects. Chatterpix is really cool. Did the students enjoy using this app?
-
Yes. I really liked it to because the kids could use it. It is very easy.

Mini-Grant recipients. in the forum Promising Practice (Teachers) 5 years, 6 months agoNow let’s get this rolling. Okay, ARI Mini Grant Recipients, if we haven’t heard from you, please share some of your innovative practices. They may not even have to do with the grant but I challenge you to post at least one innovative practice you have used in your classroom this year.

I am sure pleased by the innovative practices going on in this region.

I am so excited to see all of the great work

I have sent this out to our teachers reminding of this. Also, I had one teacher who stated, she couldn’t wait for the next round so she could submit.

We would love for you to visit us. Today we planted seeds in cups and put them in the window. They are excited about comparing the “old way” of planting in the classroom to the 21st century classroom.
