11. • Teachers need to be aware of what each and every
student is thinking and knowing, to construct meaning and
meaningful experiences in light of this knowledge, and
have proficient knowledge and understanding of their
content to provide meaningful and appropriate feedback
such that each student moves progressively through the
curriculum levels
12. • Teachers and students need to know
Where are we going?,
How are you going, and
what’s next?
13. • Teachers need to move from the single idea to multiple
ideas, and to relate and then extend these ideas such that
learners construct and reconstruct knowledge and ideas.
It is not the knowledge or ideas, but the learner’s
construction of this knowledge and these ideas that is
critical.
14. • School leaders and teachers need to create school,
staffroom, and classroom environments where error is
welcomed as a learning opportunity, where discarding
incorrect knowledge and understandings is welcomed,
and where participants can feel safe to learn, re-learn,
and explore knowledge and understanding.

What are the key difference between these
methods?
The key is the role of the teacher…We go back to
the story
21. Variables that don’t have a substantial impact-
THE POLITICS OF DISTRACTION
• Attributes of students have a low effect on student
learning (gender, parental employment, adoption,
personality, labeling of students) (less than .18)
• Deep Programs matching styles of learning, inquiry
based methods, individualized instruction, distance
education (less than .22)
• School and Class Structure Summer school, finance,
class size, ability grouping, retention, multi-grade/age
classes, changing school calendars (less that .10)
31. Few points of reference
- 915 Meta-analysis
- 60,155 studies
- 245 million students
- 159,570 effect sizes reported
- This data set is for the purpose of discussion
- There are moderators
32. An example
• Homework- effect size = .29
• Rank 88th
• Number of Meta-analysis 5
• Number of studies 161
• Number of effects 295
• Number of people 105,282
33. • Exploring each variable-
• High school twice as large
• Short time periods are important
• Direct parent involvement had a
negative effect
• Lack of monitoring
• Difficulty
• Prescribing homework does not help
in time management skills

82. Be honest with where I am at on
learning progressions. I definitely am
honest with where I am in this class.
This way of assessment has
completely made me feel alright with
being in the pit because I know that I
am not stuck there and that I can get
myself out of it. I really appreciate all
that you have done to make us feel
comfortable with progress.
83. Be open to struggling…Before this class I was not open to
struggling at all, so this took me a while to get used to.
Now I know that I can get myself out of the pit, so I feel
comfortable being in it! I just wish it was this way in the
rest of my classes. ):
84. My annotations and thoughts on written pieces were at
about a 1 level at the beginning of the semester, but with
guidance in class and a lot of practice I have grown to
getting a four on the last annotation. Next semester I
hope to grow further.
Kids don’t learn important information that’s right in front of them, unless an adult is actively teaching them.

It turns out its not about who teachers are, its not about what teachers do, its not who the students are, what really matters think about their impact on their students.
