You are respected by teachers if you respect teachers. You can choose what you want to do and how you want to do it as long as its not far off topic.” “It is different because you don't have to go around to different classrooms and because it is mostly project based.” From Handout: Integrated Studies Student Survey

Hinweis der Redaktion
- -How would we build a school from scratch today?-what are the biggest limitations?
- Limitations over which we had control:-space-rigid curriculum-time
- Space:-virtual and physical-how is it utilized – flexible, communal, no head of the room-describe the room, explain compromisesBiases of space:single room with a front forces focus on a single person, enforces inequality between teacher and student, enforces the idea of teacher as sole expertISPNo single focusAll members of the community are learners and teachersEncourages collaboration
- Moodle:Knowledge and understandingModules tied to standardsNot there yet but working towards a benchmarking system for each standardAllows for asynchronous deliveryPF:Higher order thinking assessmentsCollaborative with portals for students, teachers, and coachesTracks standards and proficiency levels
- Rigid curriculum:Designed to meet the needs of a majority of studentsBuilt around the concept of transference of knowledge – Teacher does A, student learns AMy school was struggling under this paradigmISP is Project-Based:Natural fit for a technical schoolTied academics to career choices- all projects have a writing, creation, and presentation componentsStudents naturally differentiate for themselves Projects determined by a negotiation process with the teacher, gives the teacher much better insight into student’s understanding of a topic
- Organized into advisoriesDiscuss the open scheduleEncourages collaboration, self discipline, and time management
- No difference between economic status within ISP populationStudents of lower socioeconomic status outperform those of average SES in Gen Ed.
