4 Keys to Building Deeper Critical and Creative Thinking in Your Classroom
Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

Today, we expect every student to be ready for the challenges of the 21st century – to learn more, to master new technologies, and to apply what they have learned in authentic/real-world contexts. The phrases “deeper learning” and “critical and creative thinking” have generated varied descriptions of the skills, knowledge, and dispositions students must possess to be able to sit at the table of opportunity and succeed in life after high school. Deeper learning happens when students become actively immersed in challenging tasks that require them to critically examine information, transfer what they have learned, and expand upon that learning to creatively experiment and construct new knowledge and insights. This does not happen in classrooms where the primary focus is getting students to comply with the work we’ve assigned and get correct answers to problems with known answers.

Personalized Learning Plans at Bellows Free Academy in Fairfax, Vermont

At Bellows Free Academy (BFA) in Fairfax, Vermont, Personalized Learning Plans (PLPs) aim to allow students to design their own pathway toward proficiency-based graduation and provide a forum for developing student agency. Despite numerous iterations of the PLP requirements at BFA, we recognized that student and adult engagement with the PLP was inconsistent, and the clarity about why students have PLPs was insufficient. Additionally, we admitted that after ten-plus years we had never adequately sought student input in designing the PLP process.

Promising Practices in K-12 Mathematics Software Usage

Rating
0.0 stars

The use of highly effective instructional practices in mathematics is the most productive way to improve a student’s
mathematics achievement. When used in concert with effective instruction, personalized learning (PL) software is an
invaluable tool that educators can use to both improve their instruction and more fully meet each students’ needs. It
should not be used to replace Tier 1 instructional time (see the Utah Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) for
Mathematics framework), but rather to help the educator meet their objectives and student meet learning goals.
