  1. 21st Century Learning Synopsis Dave Redekopp

  2. Outcomes: The ultimate aims • Becoming • What the student wants to be • What society wants students to be • Learning to learn • Engaged citizens

  3. Outputs: Learner changes • Students can: • Communicate • Collaborate • Innovate • Problem-solve • Analyze • Synthesize • ... all Essential Skills • Display Digital Wisdom

  4. Processes (verbs): The ways to get the outputs • Developing and identifying passion • Querying and collaborating with • Teachers • Experts • Community • Peers • Designing and completing projects • Exploring information • Creating and sharing information

  5. Structures (nouns): The tools & resources that enable the processes • Organizational • Partnership agreements • Parents, sectors, businesses, local governments, experts etc. • Infrastructure • Space • Collaborative technology • Resource technology • Content • Curriculum intentions • Games • Stories • Real, significant issues

  6. Structures (cont’d) • Assessments • Competency-based • Accreditation • Dual credits • Work credits • Competency-based credits • Human • Mentors, teachers • Funds

  7. Structures (cont’d) • MINDSETS!!! • “Learners”, not students • Technology can be our friend • Kids can be trusted • Local decisions are okay • Parents should be part of the process • Learning for learning’s sake is great, but not always enough

  8. Premises for the Polarities • The very best teachers are already there • Cognitive surplus is inexhaustible • Technology is maya – can be a distraction • EVERY developmental gain creates the risk of loss • It’s a both/and world

  9. Polarities to Manage • Opportunity vsBarrier • funds, metrics, resistance • Family vs Student • Where is our focus? • Verb vsNoun • How do our verbs drive our nouns?

  10. Polarities to Manage (cont’d) • Bottom-up vsTop-down • How do we enable students to lead? • Competency vs Content • How do we focus on what students can do rather than what subject they’re good at? • Discover vsDeliver (Create vs Consume) • How do we move toward co-discovering curriculum rather than delivering it?

  11. Polarities to Manage (cont’d) • Just-in-time vsJust-in-case • How do we teach when students need/want learning rather than just in case they will need/want learning? • Commitment vsCompliance • How do we encourage commitment to learning rather than compliance to expectations? • Participation vs Reception • How do learners participate rather than just receive?

  12. Polarities to Manage (cont’d) • Distributed vs Classroom • Where is learning located? • Passion vs Obligation • How do we enable passion to drive learning rather than “requirements” driving learning? • Partnership vs Independence (We vs Me) • How do we work collaboratively? • Change vs Keep • How do we keep the important “old” materials/habits/values while changing?
