COMMON CORE

an UNIMAGINABLE future

Unraveling Complexity

Over the course of a year of office practice—which, by definition, excludes the patients seen in the hospital—physicians each evaluated an average of 250 different primary diseases and conditions. Their patients had more than 900 other active medial problems that had to be taken into account.

Atul Gawande

The new age of science is marked by the dissolution of barriers across traditional disciplines and fields. Scientists are grouping and regrouping not based on similarity in background, but to ensure that diverse perspectives are considered.

Stage 1: Romance

You start to notice what's around you, and you get very curious about how things work. How things interrelate. It's as simple as seeing a bug that intrigues you. You want to know where it goes at night; who its friends are; what it eats.!David Cronenberg

Historians are le? forever chasing shadows, painfully aware of the inability ever to reconstruct the world in its completeness however thorough or revealing their documenta1on. We are doomed to ve forever hailing someone who has just gone around the corner and out of earshot.

Simon Schama

The most exci1ng phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries is not ‘Eureka!’ (I found it!) but ‘That’s funny...’ .

The causes of events are ever more interesting than the event themselves.

Cicero

Wherever we look upon this earth, the opportunities take shape within problems

Nelson Rockefeller

Stage 2: Precision

There is a tremendous amount of work that you have to do to get your idea to come to life. But you’re not going to do that work if you don’t have the idea; if you don’t have that inspiration, that love.

I didn’t know that you could not improve the fibers easily through plant breeding; I thought it would be fairly straightforward and then WHAM, it’s extremely complex. But by then I was hooked.

Sally Fox, Entomologist

The sensation of writing a book is the sensation of spinning, blinded by love and daring. It is the sensation of a stunt pilot's turning barrel rolls, or an inchworm's blind rearing from a stem in search of a route. At its worst, it feels like alligator wrestling, at the level of the sentence.

Write Till You Drop Annie Dillard

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

Napoleon

Stage 3: Generalization

Creating a new theory is not like

destroying an old barn and erecting a

skyscraper in its place. It is rather

like climbing a mountain, gaining

new and wider views, discovering

unexpected connections between our

starting points and its rich

environment. But the point from

which we started out still exists and

…forms a tiny part of our broad view

gained by the mastery of the

obstacles on our adventurous way up.

Albert Einstein.

The Importance of DISPOSITIONS

• …a good argument can be made that dispositions are central in generating both the will to think and in developing… qualities of judgment that steer knowledge and skills in productive directions.

• Fred Newmann in Teaching Thinking: An Agenda for the 21st Century.

What is “Problem-Based Learning”?

A form of inquiry-based education,

where learning is initiated with an ill-structured problem and students direct their own course of study.

Key Components of PBL

!  Initiating Instruction with an Ill-Structured Problem

!  Student-as-Stakeholder !  Teacher as (Metacognitive) Coach

The Ill-Structured Problem• Needs more information before it

becomes clear• Can be solved in more than one

way• Has more than one resolution• Changes sometimes with new

information• Is ambiguous and unclear• STIMULATES QUESTIONS

Student-As-Stakeholder

• Real world problem solvers are not objective

• Increases ownership• Provides a form of

apprenticeship in a discipline

Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence.

Write informa1ve/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and informa1on through the selec1on, organiza1on and analysis of relevant content.

Produce clear nad coherent wri1ng in which the development, organiza1on, and style are appropriate to task, purpose and audience.______________________________

Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.

Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; provide an accurate summary of the text dis1nct from prior knowledge or opinions.

Dis1nguish among facts, reasoned judgement based on research findings, and specula1on in a text._______________________________

Engage effec1vely in a range of collabora1ve discussions, ...building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.

Present claims and findings, emphaiszing salient points in a focused, coherent manner with per1nent descrip1ons, facts, details, and examples; use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronuncia1on.

Thompson’s Truths about Curriculum

• The more academic learning is, the less academic it seems• Students acts as hero willing to become an

unknown self• Creates a quake in the state of

assumptions• Cognition without imagination is shallow• Phasing of engagement and scholarship

Research to Build and Pres-ent Knowledge

Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated ques-tion), drawing on sev-eral sources and gener-ating additional related, focused questions that allow for multiple av-enues of exploration.

Students generate questions to research on the Learning Issues Board and then con-duct research to investigate their questions using a variety of resources, including print, audio and video-based res-rouces.

Students complete simulation of a genetic bottleneck.
