“What gets measured gets
        done.”

Some observations about public school
      classrooms in the United States…

 International schools may not look like this

 Not all US K-12 classrooms look like this

 I don’t know what your classrooms look like

 Basic fundamentals may still apply
What is this classroom designed for?
And this one?
Why do these classrooms look
      fundamentally the same?
What differences would we expect to see in classrooms representing democratic
                  versus totalitarian forms of government?


            Discuss with a partner and we will share as a group
Why are they similar?

Students                          And

Ask:
         Never tell, always ask what
          the ritual is. Point to the
             poster if necessary.
Jonathan, what is the ritual for coming into class?

Alicia, what is step 2 of the group work ritual?

    2.Puts the student in
    control of his/her own
    actions
    3.Avoids conflict
Re-teach
If more than three students are
not following the ritual, it needs
to be re-taught and rehearsed
NEVER
      mix rituals and rules

1. Rituals are about learning and self-regulation
2. Rules are about safety
3. The only consequences for not following
   rituals are questions and rehearsal

     What is the work of childhood?

How does your teachers contribute to that
                work?

If you had no curriculum, what would you
         do with your students?
                       students
 Will there always be war?
             What causes racism?

Take a reflective tour of your school…


 What really matters?
 What will your students learn that will
  make a difference in their lives?
 What will your students produce that will
  matter?
Why does Gettysburg matter?
Choice
   “When all you have is a
hammer, everything else begins
     to look like a nail”
Simple Differentiation
Choice in the curriculum
Choice in learning activities
Choice in assessment products
Think about what your classrooms look like…


 Are parts of the curriculum negotiable?
 Does everyone have to do every learning
  activity?
 Can you add activities of varying
  complexity that students can choose from?
 Are there multiple ways students can show
  what they have learned?
Think about and share…
 Something important that you learned in
  school…
 Who taught you?
 What kind of relationship did you have with that
  person?
 How did he/she teach you?
 How did you feel?
Safety
1. Can you learn
   without risk?
2. Do you use
   grades as
   weapons or
   rewards?
3. What if students
   fail?
Safety nets:
