What Do We Really Mean When We Say ‘Personalized Learning’? | MindShift
-
For Laufenberg, personalization only comes when students have authentic choice over how to tackle a problem. A personalized environment gives students the freedom to follow a meaningful line of inquiry, while building the skills to connect, synthesize and analyze information into original productions.
-
Dozens of teachers agreed that a truly personalized learning experience requires student choice, is individualized, meaningful and resource rich. This kind of learning allows students to work at their own pace and level, meets the individual needs of students, and perhaps most importantly, is not a one-size fits all model. Technology was strikingly absent from these conversations. Instead, the common view of personalization focused on giving agency for learning to the student and valuing each individual in a classroom.

d.school: the whiteboard | #DSXOAK: A prototype school comes to life
-
“The current school model is still building kids to navigate the 19th and 20th century.” That model is meant to “manage humanity instead of inspire it.”
-
“We don’t have teachers in this school, we have catalysts,” said David. “We are here to help you realize … your purpose.”
-
The other element challenged is control. Where traditional classrooms my have teachers focusing on how best to gain and maintain control, David is testing the power of trust and stepping back.

Doctor, Shut Up and Listen – NYTimes.com
About the critical importance of listening and empathy as a core competence of being a doctor. Is empathy development part of your pre-med thinking?
-
A review of reports by the Joint Commission, a nonprofit that provides accreditation to health care organizations, found that communication failure (rather than a provider’s lack of technical skill) was at the root of over 70 percent of serious adverse health outcomes in hospitals.
-
A doctor’s ability to explain, listen and empathize has a profound impact on a patient’s care.
-
The need to train and test physicians in “interpersonal and communication skills” was formally recognized only relatively recently, in 1999, when the American Board of Medical Specialties made them one of physicians’ key competencies.
-
But we need to move away from the perception that social skills and better communication are a kind of optional extra for doctors. A good bedside manner is simply good medicine.
