  4. What is Active Learning?

  5. If I justtoldyou, wouldn’t I bea hypocrite?

  6. Ever hear of this? High Tech High operates eleven schools in San Diego County: two elementary schools, four middle schools, and five high schools. All of these schools serve a diverse, lottery-selected student population; all embody the High Tech High design principles of personalization, adult world connection, common intellectual mission, and teacher as designer.

  7. 99.5% of HTH's graduates have gone on to college, with approximately • 70% attending four-year programs such as Johns Hopkins University, • MIT, Stanford University, Olin College, Howard University, University of California • at Berkeley, University of California at Los Angeles, New York University • and Northwestern University. • About 50-55% of HTH graduates are 1st generation college students. • Over 30% of HTH alumni enter math or science fields (vs. 17% national rate) • HTH’s African-American students outperform district and statewide peers • by a wide margin vis-à-vis test scores. Percentage who take chemistry, physics, • and advanced math (100%), and college entry (100%). 

  8. Taking the Lead: An Interview with Larry Rosenstock High Tech High's founding principal and CEO speaks about its innovative teaching and learning model.

  9. What do I do? • Include your students in the learning process. • Punctuatelectures-deliver a series of smaller lectures in place of one long lecture. • Teaching cycle for Math 75 last summer. (93% pass rate) • Inserted active learning techniques. • Students earn homework credit through homework presentations. • Daily quiz after presentations. • Mini-lecture for next class’ homework/presentation/quiz cycle. • Lecture problems with students working in groups with instructor as facilitator.

  10. Words of Wisdom • When I hear, I forget. • When I hear and see, I remember a little. • When I hear, see, and ask questions about it or discuss it, I begin to understand. • When I hear, see, discuss, and do, I acquire knowledge and skill. (Silberman, 1996)

  11. InterestingQuotes I came acrosswhenpreparing for thislounge … • “Knowledge and Action are One” – Krishnananda • “THERE can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.” - Kant • “Knowledge begins as an action”- Piaget • “There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience”- Archibald MacLeish
