Hands-On Strategies for American History

kbkonnected:

#elemchat #spedchat #sschat #USAhistory

Includes Jeopardy game templates, foldable examples, graphic organizers, and much more.

I really thought the “Analysis Worksheets” were very good. They will help students analyze written documents, artifacts, cartoons, maps, motion pictures, photographs, posters and sound recordings.

The Single Best Idea for Reforming K-12 Education

world-shaker:

This is one of the best articles I can recall reading on Forbes, and an absolute breath of fresh air. If you were looking for that “Someone else gets it” moment, this is it.

To decide what is the single best idea for reforming K-12 education, one needs to figure out what is the biggest problem that the system currently faces. To my mind, the biggest problem is a preoccupation with, and the application of, the factory model of management to education, where everything is arranged for the scalability and efficiency of “the system”, to which the students, the teachers, the parents and the administrators have to adjust. “The system” grinds forward, at ever increasing cost and declining efficiency, dispiriting students, teachers and parents alike.

Given that the factory model of management doesn’t work very well, even in the few factories that still remain in this country, or anywhere else in the workplace for that matter, we should hardly be surprised that it doesn’t work well in education either.

Oh, and an interesting chart of where they think things should go:

Chris Lehmann introduces a revolutionary idea in education: Encourage learning by allowing students to do things they are good at instead of restricting them.

Daring kids to make something that matters.
