How to Make the Learner Profile Meaningful
Let me ask you a question. What data do you collect? How much of that data is used to inform teaching and to drive learning? Too often I see beautiful learner profiles that house enormous amounts of data about who the learner is and who the learner wants to become, but that data is not[…]
It Will Take as Long as it Takes
How are you doing with the goals that your students set at the beginning of the school year? Are they completed and are your students are working on new ones? Are they still in progress and your students are faithfully plugging away to reach them? Or are they simply posted on the wall, lingering there[…]
The Life Cycle of a Teacher
The leaves have fallen, the holiday drinks are out in our favorite coffee shops and joyful carols are playing in all of the stores. It is really a wonderful time of year. At least that is the way it should be, but according to charts like the one below, this time of year is actually[…]
The Role of Relationships and Excitement in Learning
If you know me, you will know that I believe in real, true relationships, not relationships that are surface level or one sided. I believe that relationships should be mutually beneficial and both people should gain from the interactions and learn from one another. I also believe that everything I do should have a purpose.[…]
What’s the State of Your Bicycle?
As we wrap up another school year, I find this time bitter sweet. I am excited to send the students off armed with another year of knowledge, yet I am overwhelmed with thoughts about the year – what has occurred, what could have occurred and what will occur next year in my life as an[…]
Getting to Know the Learner Profile
As a teacher, great emphasis was put on getting to know my students. I knew that to teach each student well, I had to take time to understand what they liked, who their family members were, their hobbies, dreams, collections, etc. So during the first couple of weeks of school I did a lot of[…]
Developing Learning Leaders at ALL Levels
There has been a growing and much needed focus on skills students need to be prepared for the world they live in and the world they will lead in. In personalized learning classrooms, students are setting goals that include how they will leverage their skill strengths and how they will work on growing the[…]
Where to Start with Systematic Change and the Role of Alignment
In our fast paced world we want and expect things instantaneously. One of my good friends calls this the “Drive-Thru Syndrome”. Couple this expectation of instant gratification to the high pressure demands of rapid improvement and you end up with a disastrous plan for systematic implementation and growth that likely will not stick. There are[…]
Understanding Learning Styles and the Importance of Using Them
How do you engage students to understand their learning style preferences and advocate for it to drive their learning? I find the discussions around learning styles fascinating. It doesn’t take a lot of searching to find conflicting information on whether learning styles exist and the role they play in education and learning. One thing that we can all[…]
The Myth of “One-Size-Fits-Most”
There’s no doubt that “one-size-fits-all” doesn’t really exist in hats, gloves or learning – so how does “one-size-fits-most” exist in preparing for organizational transformation? For a very long time we have been applying a “one-size-fits-all” l or “one-size-fits-most” approach to student learning. Thank goodness we have moved away from this model where we wait for students[…]
