Where is the Teacher? 12 Shifts for a Student Centered Classroom   Kyle Wagner, the founder of Transform Educational Consulting Limited, has always had a bold mission since he became an educator 15+ years ago: Create transformational learning experiences that connect students' interests and passions to issues that matter in the real world. This bold mission has literally taken him around the world. From the design of living museums, model governments, and engaging project-based experiences as a Humanities Teacher in world renowned High Tech High in San Diego; to co-founding student-led programs and schools as a Program Director in China; Kyle has remained true to that mission, and vowed to share it with others.    His book, The Power of Simple, outlines the simple shifts classrooms and schools can make to allow for these experiences, and the conditions required to ensure they have lasting impact. Kyle currently resides in Hong Kong, where through workshops, coaching, courses and bespoke training, he has now empowered over 1,000 forward thinking educators worldwide to create more socially, globally, and emotionally aware citizens through project-based learning.        Show Highlights   12 shifts for student-centered environments. The difference between engagement and empowerment in education. The next step you need to take is to Implementation of inquiry-based learning.  Importance of making small changes in the physical classroom setup. Formulate a big question to create an inquiry framework designed by students.  Unpack the 3 key factors for motivation. Create magic with a mindset shift to scaffold learning for students with their own interests. Classroom transformations through peer-to-peer teaching.   “With inquiry, it's like when you take your dog off the leash for the first time and you haven't trained them to be off the leash, they're going to run off. But if you've gone through that process of like, ‘Okay you're going to walk beside me first.' We're going to make sure that when the traffic comes, you're not going to freak out, then you slowly give them more opportunities where they can really formulate their own inquiries. They know what kind of interests are, they know how to ask deeper questions. And that's something that the teacher can support as a facilitator moving from that front of the classroom role.” -Kyle Wagner    Get the episode transcript here!   Kyle's Resources & Contact Info:   Transform Educational Consulting Limited Where is the Teacher?

Impact of Educational Leadership Episode 189 Hosted by: I. D. III for Isaiah Drone III Nina Taylor| Adriana Fletes | Student-Centered Classroom Challenges What went wrong in lesson planning after COVID-19? Teachers spend too much time on the bad skills instead of teaching students how to pay attention to the results. Teachers are accustomed to change by using action steps. They are always open to more effective teaching methods, even though they know that many instructional practices stand the test of time. However, the reason for action steps and coaching help to work hand in hand in improving students' academic achievements. These skills help students learn, which is vital to success in school and beyond. How do we get all educators to understand educating the whole child holistically? While assisting the teacher in being familiar with clarifying core tasks, it is essential for reflection, rethinking, and revision to higher-order thinking and student goal setting. Adriana Fletes: How do you determine if students understand what they are expected to do before moving on? Nina Taylor: Student mindset in black and brown communities and its connection to student belief system. What is the big picture? Nina Taylor: How do we empower educators in school and beyond in a successful role that is respected in society? Adriana Fletes: From a psychosocial perspective, how does motivation impact student engagement?

Today I'm sharing a quick run down of tips to keep in mind as you plan your class procedures and how you will introduce them during that very busy first week of school.  The short version: Pre-teach things that are essential to starting a task Mention that you may pause their work mid-activity to briefly introduce the next system they need to know Layer the teaching into activities that use it - don't separate a full time block to teach a million systems, introduce them as you need them and review next time they come up Keep things short and sweet - our brains will all be a bit mushy, and long explanations mean everyone tunes out and the systems don't stick! Lastly, have a checklist for you and a checklist for them to see!

In Episode 29 of GotTechED the Podcast, Nick and Guise invite EdTech Guru Jeff Losch onto the show to participate in the first-ever EdTech Fantasy Draft.  Each person drafts 7 EdTech Tools that will be useful in their student-centered classroom! To get the complete breakdown and descriptions of all 41 EdTech Tools Click Here! In fantasy sports drafts, participants draft players to fill positions on a team.  For example, in a baseball fantasy draft, the managers (participants) draft Major League baseball players from any team to play each of the positions on a baseball field.  The statistics of each player contributes to each manager’s score with the goal of having the best team. Now let’s set the parameters for the fantasy EdTech draft.  Nick, Jeff, and Guise came up with a list of 41 EdTech Tools and placed them under six categories for the draft.  The six categories included: 1) Photo/Video, 2) Gamification/Assessment, 3) Personalized Learning/Feedback, 4) Collaboration/Curation, 5) Classroom Management/Environment, and 6) Productivity/Creativity. There are 7 drafting rounds (one EdTech Tool must be selected from each of the six categories and one utility tool that can be from any of the six categories). Nick, Jeff, and Guise will be drafting under the following terms: All 3 teachers run a student-centered classroom. All 3 teachers have access to G-Suite (no extensions or add-ons included unless they are drafted). Only the drafted tech tools can be used in their classroom. The person who drafts the best collection of EdTech Tools wins.
