CHANGEd: What if we educators behaved like our “student ideal?” 60-60-60 #31

What if we educators behaved like the students we want to see the children in our classes become? This is aspirational thinking – modeling the ideal. How would we act in meetings (our “classes”)? How would we treat professional learning or in-service days (more of our “classes”)? How would we talk about such learning opportunities as meetings and in-services? How would we listen, risk, engage, encourage, and trust? How would we ask questions? How would we prepare and organize? How would we view and feel about quizzes and tests – assessments – of our learning? How would we empathize?

Be the change you wish to see in others.

CHANGEd: What if national organizations created conferences like the classrooms for which many advocate? 60-60-60 #4

What if national organizations created conferences like the classrooms for which many advocate? What if NAIS, ASCD, Learning Forward, etc. insisted on more variety than rooms only set up in rows and columns of chairs? Maybe schools need a national conference center that models/practices traits of 21st century learning spaces and methodologies. Leading by doing could get more to understand/follow.

Example of a conference that came closer to modeling constructive PBL and collaborative design rather than ironically sage-ing from the stage (could such a model work for a 1500-4500 person event?):
