Happy New Year!

It's a New Year and with that comes a time to renew, refocus, and regroup.  Although I am over a month late.....

So the tablets are on their way back; as it looks now, next school year.  We have received numerous requests from the county to fill out questionnaires and reflections about the PACE initiative, giving teacher's a voice and opinion.  Our in house Technology guy has also sent out his own call for feedback and opened discussions about how it will look and run in our school; what worked and what didn't.  And tomorrow I attend the first county PACE meeting as the teacher representative from my school. (I should get all the updates on the initiative there.)  Post soon to follow.

Meanwhile, the wifi fairies have been diligently been rewiring and placing WAPS in every mobile.  Yay!

I just completed a really cool video; actually Robin Britt (AKA:  TECH. GUY) just completed a really cool video about "Personalizing by flexing the environment".  Link soon to follow.

So there are 2 new teaching resolutions on the table that must have my complete focus and direction right now.  One is to continue my pursuit of a classroom that promotes personalized learning.  The second is to complete my National Board Renewal.  Both of which I am hoping to intertwine and mesh into one big pedagogical smoothie.

Coming back from holiday break has been so difficult.  We've maybe had 2 full weeks due to delays, early dismissal, and this huge snow storm  My brain; turned off and relaxed. Then BAM! all the sudden back to making 1,000 decisions every minute.  Tough transition!  Mix that with the holiday post blues and bitter cold and this just pounds any motivation or drive that may be stirring.

But we definitely have some exciting things coming and a whole lot to talk about......

Day 1 Training

Day 1 tablet training took place on June 21st.  I went in with very few expectations; everything was so new and unknown, I didn't know what expectations to have.  They tiered the training for beginner and advanced and I had signed up for the advanced class; not because I am an advanced user of technology, but because I find technology user friendly, in most cases, and easy to figure out with some "tinkering". My only concern at this point was keeping up with the rest of the class. Every school has been assigned what they have termed a PLEF (Personalized Learning E-something Facilitator??)  This is a person that is assigned to our school to guide us and help us through this process. Ours is fantastic and dynamic!!  And he was our instructor the first day. Day 1 was spent as it should; learning where things are on the tablet, leaning how the interactive features work, exploring applications and some functions on the tablet.  There were also a ton of Ampl...

The Dark Side... is Pretty Dark! - The Problems with ARC

Last school year, I delved deep into personalized learning with self-paced Canvas sets and standard driven maps for students.  It was a glorious time in my creative, educational pedagogy, because I found great success with intentional, meaningful, and engaging units of study. Then came ARC. The trainings I received this summer were all about the personalized component of ARC; getting kids to read on their level, making personalized goals for each student, a valid assessment that could actually tell me something about my students' reading levels.  All of which sounded reasonable and needed, and I was behind this.  We received little information about the specific content of the day by day elements and did not see any manual/lesson plans until less than a week before school started. And I am here to tell you; the "Dark Side"....... is pretty dark. The structure of each lesson follows strict direct instruction with modeling from a grade level...

Joining the Dark Side.... the ARC change of heart

It's been an interesting journey upon first hearing about ARC at the beginning of this calendar year.  Teachers throughout the county were in a twist over this new reading program that we had never heard of but were required to implement the following school year.  What was it?  Where did it come from?  Who made the decision?  Why were we being forced to accept it?    This was our county's most infamous secret.  ARC ended up being raked over the coals and harshly criticized by administrators, teachers, and community members.  And I was one of those! But I have learned a most valuable life lesson from this experience and I hope our county leaders have as well.  The problem is not the program.  After attending a few GOOD, really informational sessions about what ARC is all about, I have to say, it's actually really incredible.  I could see the vision of how this would work in my classroom, more specifically, how this progr...
