What does a 21st Century school look like? How is it different from a 20th century school from the Industrial era? Is the math any different?  One plus One still equals Two, right? Is the science any different?  The human body is still made up of millions of cells, right? The earth still rotates around the Sun, right? So, what is the difference? Let us know your thoughts. Are you going to participate in the Cow Kiss Challenge? If you do, remember no French kissing. Be very methodical about approaching the cow. Just don't run up and plant one on her. Kissing a bull is optional.  The U.s. still has a low birth rate. Not even replacement levels. Do you think legislation that is past in Alabama, Missouri, and Georgia will help the situation?  Rural hospitals are continuing having a hard time staying open. Is your rural or urban hospital on the chopping block? Better find out before you need them. This segment of Hot Mic is exactly that: HOT!

It's Midday on edcuation. School children in Baltimore City and around the state returned to their classrooms last week. Some kids in the City and in Baltimore County couldn’t go to school, or they were dismissed early on a few days because their classrooms weren’t air conditioned. Others formed the first classes in brand new, state of the art buildings, constructed under the 21st Century Schools program.The budget for the current year did not call for any teacher layoffs. It did target literacy coaching as a priority, and it does includes some cuts for Charter Schools. Unlike school systems in some of the counties adjacent to Baltimore City, the Baltimore City Public Schools has faced shrinking enrollment for many years, a persistent problem that speaks to the larger challenges of the city in attracting and keeping young families.Declining enrollment, of course, affects funding. Changing the formula for how schools are funded is one of the mandates of the Kirwan Commission, which is expected to release its long awaited report this month, or early next month. Dr. Sonja Santelises, CEO of Baltimore City Schools, joins Tom in Studio A.

“Flexible.” It’s a word that often pops up in conversations about redesigning learning environments, relating to choices in furniture or movable walls. But according to Danish Kurani, redesigning 21st century classrooms goes much deeper than merely achieving flexibility—it involves going all the way back to considering Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Kurani is a licensed architect who focuses his work on learning spaces, and currently teaches a “Learning Environments for Tomorrow” course at the Harvard Graduate School of Education every year. Having worked on locations ranging from Denver’s Columbine Elementary to SELNY, a psychotherapy clinic and adult learning center in New York, Kurani has seen and used a variety of tactics to implement learning design in pursuit of specific goals. This week, EdSurge sat down with him to hear about the most common design constraints, architecture gone wrong, and the work his firm recently conducted on the Code Next Lab in Oakland.

Baltimore's 21st Century School Buildings Plan is a building and renovation initiative that will create improved educational environments for Baltimore City and its public school students. On Oct. 20, join BCF's Cheryl Casciani, Kevin Griffin Moreno and Ralph Serpe as they discuss 21st Century Schools, and how BCF has supported the plan.

In this segment our guests explain how personal learning networks are empowering teachers to reform education from the inside out and how the growth of these networks is empowering teachers in unprecedented ways. Will Richardson is author of Personal Learning Networks: Using the Power of Connections to Transform Education. Lynne Schrum, PhD, is co-author of Leading 21st-Century Schools. Jason Flom is the Director of Learning Platforms at Q.E.D. Foundation where he works to cultivate, inspire and build learning communities dedicated to transformational learning practices.

V. Darleen Opfer discusses what we know about how today's students learn and how to prepare them for work, citizenship, and life.

Introductions Michael Lambert, a Middle School teacher from Concordia International School in Shanghai joined Jeff and David for tonight’s show. Essential Question How to go deeper in student learning? Why go deeper? David: See his blog post. Jeff: Engage student and allow them to be nodes of information. Take away from the discussion- Mike's 5 Strategies for Deeper Learning: Go one to one with laptops so students have access to information to answer their questions. Let's students "rewind", go back to information when they need to further their understanding. Project-based Learning: cross discipline the learning in real world applications. Example: Mike's class visited a bike shop which connected economics, science, math and community building. They also went to a landfill, about learned alternative fuels and made further connections to being better citizens of the Earth. Visuals- let the images tell the story. Strong connection to student brains. Evokes the emotion which brings attention which drives learning. Using graphs. How to filer the information, make meaning of it. Media Literacy. Build in multi-sensory experiences. Get the kids outside the classroom and engage in field trips, real world--new brain experiences. These are deeper. Sometimes means making mistakes, being uncomfortable which leads to learning. Teachers need to let go. Let the kids be more in control. We need to be the coach. We can be co-learners. Inquiry. Everyone provides questions. Help students take their passions and questions to design question to research and then come up with more questions that they want to answer. Make connections across the curriculum then lead to questions and further applications that combine subject areas. Cannot be narrow with our curriculum. Ready to go in different directions. We need to really focus on teaching students to be learners. If they are truly going to be independent life long learners, they have to have the skills to be active learners. What does a shifted school look like? Jeff: What is a Shifted School? A school that understands that learning is a 24/7 activity and engages students in THEIR spaces to learn. A school that instead of forcing student to come to them to learn, they go to them and create learning opportunities where the students are. They use tools that are familiar to the students, that engage them in the learning process and allow them to not only connect nodes of information, but also always them and teaches them to be a node as well. David: What shifted looks like see 21st Century Schools & his post on the topic. School 2.0 wiki by Steve Hargadon as a place to read opinions on what shifted schools look like and add your opinion. And listen to episode 8 where Brent Loken talks about Hsinchu International School. Mike: If you are using strategies for deeper learning and helping kids make connections, you are really focusing on learning which is what shifted schools are all about. We need to look at our pre-service teacher programs to shift them where teachers learn teaching 2.0 strategies while taking part in mentoring programs to get them up to speed.
