Learning Many
educators...consider
the
principle
...
“Give
a
 man
a
fish
and
feed
him
for
a
day,
teach
a
man
to
 fish
and
feed
him
for
a
lifetime,”
to
represent
 the
height
of
educational
practice
today.
 Yet
it
is
hardly
cutting
edge.
 It
assumes
that
there
will
always
be
an
endless
 supply
of
fish
to
catch
and
that
the
techniques
for
 catching
them
will
last
a
lifetime.
And
therein
lies
 the
major
pitfall
of
the
twenty‐first
 century’s
teaching
model...

the

Why
is
this
right
for
gifted
learners? “If
there
is
one
 word
that
makes
 creative
people
 different
from
 others,
it
is
the
 word
complexity.
 Instead
of
being
an
 individual,
they
are
 a
multitude.”
 Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi

Why
is
this
right
for
gifted
learners? A
gifted
individual
is
a
quick
and
clever
thinker,
 who
is
able
to
deal
with
complex
matters;
an
 individual
who
is
autonomous,
curious
and
 passionate;
a
sensitive
and
emotionally
rich
 person,
who
is
living
intensely.

He
or

is
a
 person
who
enjoys
being
creative. Nauta

What
makes
this
something
other
than
 “a

 Your
goal
as
a
parent
is
to
foster
your
child's
 development,
not
to
impress
other
adults
 with
your
parenting
skills... The
most
significant
and
potentially
valuable
 influence
you
can
have
on
your
child
comes
 from
macromanagement
of
the
 environment,
not
from
micromanagement
 of
your
child's
behavior.

Connected autonomy and talent development

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Networked, connective and personal learning theories are redefining what it means to be a “high ability” learner. Linking newly defined connective learning literacies with talent development models and action research, this session will explore how stories about learning—and learning support—are changing in an era of exponential information growth and potential complexity.\n
  • #3  Move from consumers of education to creators of learning opportunities and environments\n “Cognitive surplus”\n Maker culture\n bricolage/tinkering\n (constructivism/constructionism)\n Connective learning\n Huge shift for anxious parents\nThe counterpart to technological determinisim. PLAY \n\nJohn Seely Brown- Reimagining Dewey http://ht.ly/1XF1Z Casual tinkering, deep tinkering\n\nwiliam Doll uses the terms science, story and spirit.\n\nCognitive suprplus- Shirky: spare brain power and the tools to share and connect it\n\n\nDecrease in Fluency after 1990: Fluency scores (quantity of the ideas: ability to produce a number of ideas) decreased by 4.68% from 1990 to 1998 and by 7.00% from 1990 to 2008.\nDecrease in Originality after 1990: Originality scores (quality of the ideas: ability to produce a number of statistically infrequent ideas that shows how unique and unusual the ideas are) decreased by 3.74% from 1990 to 1998 and remained static from 1998 to 2008. Originality scores have actually significantly decreased, but the decrease has been deflated through the use of outdated scoring lists.\nDecrease in Creative Strengths after 1990: Creative Strengths scores (creative personality traits, including being emotionally expressive, energetic, talkative or verbally expressive, humorous, imaginative, unconventional, lively or passionate, perceptive, connecting seemingly irrelevant things together, synthesizing, and seeing things from a different angle) decreased by 3.16% from 1990 to 1998 and by 5.75% from 1990 to 2008.\nDecrease in Elaboration after 1984: Elaboration scores (ability to develop and elaborate upon ideas and detailed and reflective thinking and motivation to be creative) decreased more than other subscales of the TTCT. Elaboration scores decreased by 19.41% from 1984 to 1990, by 24.62% from 1984 to 1998, and by 36.80% from 1984 to 2008.\nDecrease in Abstractness of Titles after 1998: Titles scores (ability to produce the thinking processes of synthesis and organization, to capture the essence of the information involved, and to know what is important) increased until 1998, but decreased by 7.41% from 1998 to 2008.\nDecrease in Resistance to Premature Closure after 1998: Closure scores (intellectual curiosity and open-mindedness) decreased from 1984 to 1990, increased from 1990 to 1998, and decreased by 1.84% from 1998 to 2008.\nhttp://www.britannica.com/blogs/2010/10/the-decline-of-creativity-in-the-united-states-5-questions-for-educational-psychologist-kyung-hee-kim\n

  • #6 Many presume delivery model of learning\n\nDual enrollment= PSEO\nSupplemental enrollment= online plus local\nTeachers are well-intentioned but struggling-- not a lot of models, teacher’s education is not keeping up. School choice\n Alternative Learning \n Dual enrollment\n Supplemental enrollment\n Community schooling\n Exchange programs \n Homeschooling\n Unschooling\n\nNeed a law, like special ed, that says every kids gets an individualized learning plan.\nIn the meantime, sit down with your child and dream one up.\n\nWhat to do: \n1. Use the new tools to participate or become aware of conversations of interest\n2. Visit other schooling models. consider having your child visit. \n\nGet/model skills in deciding, finding, creating and connecting: Model learning as a hobby.\nFollow one blog\nRSS feeds\nGoogle alerts\nLegitimate perip. participation\nIf gited is your concern, there are a number of opportunities to conenct ith other parents of figfted adn gifted adults and keep informed on a daily basis. this information is valuable as you deterine what other stesp you want to take. \nHelp your children find mentors\nBegabungs\n  \n1. mentoring 2. enrichment 3. acceleration http://www.renzullilearning.com/default.aspx #ntchat\nabout 15 hours ago via web\nEvaluate activities and assignments based on autonomy, diversity, openness and connectivity. AP classes are like training to swim the English channel by only ever having been in a pool. You can work really hard, but you’re not coping with the complexity. Plus, gifted kids can probably do AP work without a class- self study. \nSay no\nSay yes\nKeep a personal time log. Identify where cognitive surplus is being leached: TV Facebook\nDo something that makes you uneasy.\nChange your: hair, furniture, route to work, meal plan, etc.\nIf this is new for your kids, don’t expect an immediate positive response. Coasting, similarity, familiarity are EASY. Changes are HARD. (may not always be appropriate for overexcitabilities/twice exceptional)\nMake arrangements for your children to produce representations of their work-- portfolios that contain things done outside of or beyond formal academic demands. Communicate the value of these activities and attempts. Steal time-- yes, from school. On the other side: teachers need to accept alternative proposals. Consider non-graded activities. (Read Joe Bower) Create alternative recognition programs. (Kids themselves don’t recognize creativity in their midst. Adults with assumptions won’t either.)\nhttp://www.learninggeneralist.com/2010/11/understanding-tools-of-social-learning.html\n\nYou are the keeper of your child’s time. Evaluate how it is being spent. Including assignments. But understand it’s not the teacher’s job to completely replace everything. This is a cooperative zone. It is not their job to serve your child or you. It is to assist. Make an “accepting proposals” zone and time period. Remember that not all attempts will succeed. That’s OK-- you will be assessing on evidence of work, not “success.” If you are using social tools-- bookmarking, etc, this will be easier to see. “I went to the library” doesn’t cut it. Notes on what you looked at does. A bunch of websites doesn’t cut it. But highlighted and commented sections on the bookmarks shows they have been read.\n\nGifted ed is problematic because it does not recognize manyof the shifts taking place-- is trying to tinker, improve within the existing structures. Most gifted ed literature is still hidden behind paywalls, closed academic journals. Some cracks with Gifted ed chat., etc. Chat itself is unsophisticated, but finding the poeple and what they are doing in depth is significant. \n\nYou are not looking for a good transcript, you are looking for a good-- or several good- tribes.\n\n\n

  • #26 Acknowledges complexity\nAs Richard Rothstein reminds us, all school-related variables combined can explain only about one-third of the variation in student achievement; most is due to non-school factors. Still, even to the extent that the quality of teaching does matter, Futernick argues that "variations in teaching performance flow largely from variables that have little to do with the qualities of teachers themselves." Lousy classrooms are more likely due to "poorly functioning systems than [to] individual [teachers'] shortcomings.... There is simply no shortcut to helping educators "cultivate an active intelligence that allows them to negotiate principles, practices, students' needs, and the ever-changing classroom and school environment." In short, says Wilson (in a sentence that ought to be emailed to every administrator and consultant in the country), "Good teaching doesn't rest on specific practices, but on how well the educator actively thinks through hundreds of decisions that no program can script." To try to mandate specific practices -- and Wilson offers some disconcerting examples relating to "literacy systems" -- not only doesn't help teachers to become more accomplished, flexible thinkers; it gets in the way."

Still, even to the extent that the quality of teaching does matter, Futernick argues that "variations in teaching performance flow largely from variables that have little to do with the qualities of teachers themselves." Lousy classrooms are more likely due to "poorly functioning systems than [to] individual [teachers'] shortcomings.... There is simply no shortcut to helping educators "cultivate an active intelligence that allows them to negotiate principles, practices, students' needs, and the ever-changing classroom and school environment." In short, says Wilson (in a sentence that ought to be emailed to every administrator and consultant in the country), "Good teaching doesn't rest on specific practices, but on how well the educator actively thinks through hundreds of decisions that no program can script." To try to mandate specific practices -- and Wilson offers some disconcerting examples relating to "literacy systems" -- not only doesn't help teachers to become more accomplished, flexible thinkers; it gets in the way."

  • #31 In 2008, Americans consumed information for about 1.3 trillion hours, an average of almost 12 hours per day. Consumption totaled 3.6 zettabytes and 10,845 trillion words, corresponding to 100,500 words and 34 gigabytes for an average person on an average day. A zettabyte is 10 to the 21st power bytes, a million million gigabytes. These estimates are from an analysis of more than 20 different sources of information, from very old (newspapers and books) to very new (portable computer games, satellite radio, and Internet video).

This is essentially a state of mental fatigue where we feel as if we are spread much too thin. The feeling that we just cannot deal with all the information flowing to us results in our ignoring or failing to process some of the information.\nA second coping strategy is processing information readily at hand, even if it is bad or incorrect information. This describes the concept of GIGO or "garbage in, garbage out." W orking with poor information at the start This involves working with information that may not be the best and making decisions or acting based upon this information. This effectively casts doubt on thethe outcomes of actions and decisions made using this information because of working with poor information at the start. For example, it is not uncommon to observe an individual performing a search on the World Wide Web and using only the first few items in the results whether they are good or not.\nA third strategy is queuing or delaying the processing of some information with the hope of catching up later. In other words, we may stack up a bunch of information believing we can go through it all at once at a later time. Unfortunately the flow of information does not always slow enough to get back to those piles.\nA fourth strategy is information filtering or looking at information at a higher level and saying, "I will go through this and I won't go through that." It is putting items into categories then working with those categories of information, prior to working with the information itself.\nA fifth strategy is simply walking away from the task.\nA sixth strategy is generalizing ? using minimal information to draw broad conclusions. This is akin to reading only the headlines of a newspaper and speaking as if knowing the details of the articles.\n
