No Teacher Left Behind
We often talk about the measures of No Child Left Behind and
ensuring student success. There is, however, no talk about any
type of the No Teacher Left Behind Act. How would you
suggest we, as a nation, provide consistent learning
opportunities for teachers and ensure that they are not left
behind in learning about new techniques and strategies? Should
all teachers across the country use certain practices? If so, what
would those be? Should there be a consistent standard for all
teachers to meet, just as students must pass high stakes tests? If
so, what would be the standard? Lastly, share your thoughts on
how well teachers are being prepared to master the
ISTE Standards for Teachers
standards in their classrooms.

In the discussion forums for the last two weeks, Sir Ken
Robinson and Seth Godin challenged us to think differently
about what the purpose of school is. Seth suggests that students
should be able to watch lessons at home and meet with the
teacher during the day to engage in deep conversation
answering questions from the video and not simply sitting in
class listening to a lecture. In fact,
Khan Academy
is considered an innovative flipped classroom model that has
taken this strategy to scale across America. In the video,
Salman Khan: Let’s Use Video to Reinvent Education
, Salman Khan, the developer of Khan Academy discusses how

shifting lectures to video provides a way to revolutionize
education by making learning accessible anytime, anyway, and
anyplace. On the contrary, the video
What if Khan Academy Was Made in Japan?
suggests that Khan Academy reinforces the American model of
learning, which continues to focus on the idea of watch a lesson
and practice the skill. After you watch both videos, think about
the focus of this week’s reading: delivering effective lessons
that connect your students to learning. How do you reconcile
the two different perspectives on learning exhibited in the
videos? What relevance do you see in each perspective? In
what ways, if any, does either approach to teaching and learning
reflect constructivism? If you were asked to pick a side to
support, which strategy would have a greater impact on ensuring
students master twenty first century skills? Explain your
thinking.
Guided Response:
Respond to two of your classmates’ posts. For at least one of
your responses, take a point of view that is opposite from your
original post, and provide at least two rationales for why the
opposite idea has value. Be sure also to respond to any
questions that your instructor might pose.
(
For this DB question, please watch
BOTH videos and write your response FIRST before reading
your peers' postings
. This ensures that we each bring our own
unique
ideas to this

fabulous
discussion.)
