small shifts, big impact: closing the gap to empowered learning pt 2 blc13
DESCRIPTION
Small Shifts, Big Impact: Closing the Gap to Empowered Learning How large is the gap that truly exists between the real and ideal for learners? Are there ways to “tweak” (small shift) instruction that will enlist students as deep questioners, critical thinkers and effective problem-solvers (big impact)? What if we created a “Destination Postcard” of the ideal learner, and designed learning experiences from there? Join this Switch-inspired think-tank on lesson design and implementation strategies that empower students to think and act their way to the acquisition and connection of content while developing enduring learning dispositions. (Common Core Compatible) Attendees will engage in discussion and consider activities designed to help educators: Consider content acquisition as a vehicle for learning (means not end). Develop learner-driven ways to leverage digital tools, environments and processes. Apply concepts from Switch (Chip & Dan Heath) to identify “small shift / big impact” possibilities in lesson (re)design.TRANSCRIPT

Destination Postcard
Write a single statement of “destination”
for your ideal learner...
Who do you want your learners to be at the end
of the year?
“...a vivid picture that shows what could be possible in the near-term future.” (Switch p.78)

Six Steps to Better Vocabulary Instruction
1. Provide a description, explanation, or example of the new term.
2. Ask students to restate the description, explanation, or example in their own words.
3. Ask students to construct a picture, pictograph, or symbolic representation of the term.
4. Engage students periodically in activities that help them add to their knowledge of the terms in their vocabulary notebooks.
5. Periodically ask students to discuss the terms with one another.
6. Involve students periodically in games that enable them to play with terms.
