Experience validates that Fontan Relational Education works equally well with students with disabilities (learning, intellectual, physical), allowing them to perform as any student.
- THREE BASIC COMPETENCIESDealing with the student as a whole person – not just ACADEMICS1. Intellectual CompetenciesThe students’ abilities, interests, expectations, learning styles, and their cognitive processes, determine their learning activities. By using their natural learning abilities and following a normal process to develop their autonomy, students acquire the necessary content from each subject. Together with their Educator, students discuss learning tasks, seek out information and are encouraged to further their knowledge through inquiry-based learningStudents work with the material until a level of excellence has been achieved, allowing them to continue on to the next unit of study, or theme. 2. Personal CompetenciesTogether with their Educators, students learn to make decisions and accept the consequences of their decisions. This makes them responsible and capable of evolving as they decide how to build their daily, weekly and monthly learning activities. This corresponds to their personal goals, while collaborating with their educators on dates to submit projects and determine the completion of the course. During this process, students develop autonomy while developing organizational skills. 3. Socio-emotional CompetenciesThe workshop(opposed to ‘classroom’is the environment in which students do their work. They set goals, assume complementary roles, evaluate their learning process and transform their learning environment together with their educators. Students learn to collaborate, develop leadership skills and solidarity. They are recognized for their strengths; and learn to be committed to their community. Students discover their limits, allowing them to develop the reality principle while increasing their self-esteem. By projecting themselves in time and adding value and meaning to their work, students discover the importance and the meaning of their own life. Students’ belief in innovation and productivity, which have a direct impact on the economic and the social growth of their community, begins here.
- PROMOTING AUTONOMY AND THE LEARNING METHODOLOGY 1. Reflect on a new unit of study In order to achieve the objective in this stage, the following activities are necessary: => Relating prior knowledge to current unit of study;=> Responding to a contextualized question given by the Educator; and,=> Hypothesize what will learn and achieve in the unit of study. 2. Investigation of new informationinvestigation through information sources including visual (books, reports, e.g.), audio, audiovisual (videos, e.g.), dialogue, interviews, direct meetings. Learning products produced depend on student ability to synthesize information, and their appearances can vary although clear evidence must exist that the student understands the unit of study. Investigation of the new information leads to the development of a knowledge base, which becomes apparent through analysis that the student is required to complete. Student may submit their work in forms such as PowerPoint presentations, videos, conceptual maps, and essays, among others. The presentation of the knowledge acquired in a unit of study must also demonstrate that they are capable of researching and organizing information clearly. A reference list must be presented as part of the learning product. 3. Interpretation & internatisationThis stage represents the central moment of the learning process because the student is required to apply what knowledge they have acquired so far to new applications within the unit of study. In this stage, the student’s capacity to transform and/or improve the knowledge detected in the first stage is active. This stage also includes a planned activity given by the Educator. Examples include:=> Exercises and problems (mathematics);=> Laboratory report (science); and,=> Essay (social studies). FontanRelational Education principles dictate that assignments can be modified based on a student’s needs, interests, and learning styles and, therefore, the supplementary activity may follow this rubric for customization and individualization.4. Relating the Studythe student is required to apply what they have learned and relate what they have learned to some aspect of “reality.”In this stage, students are required to complete a self-evaluation of the learning process for the unit of study. In the self-evaluation, the student is required to take a critical view of the learning accomplished and, realize what s/he has learned thus far, and see how much learning is necessary to complete the process. Simultaneously, the student will see how his/her original hypotheses of the unit of study have been modified, validated, or rejected through the learning process.The final work that the student presents to the Educator in this stage is the result of the entire learning process and includes the following: => Application of the concepts in everyday or hypothetical contexts.=> Self-evaluation.NEXT WE WILL LOOK AT PROCESSES THAT NEED TECHNOLOGY
- What are the process that technology can assist with?
- The Student Learning Plan is designed for each student upon enrollment in the school, or when they change grades. It is a general overview of the activities to be carried out in order to achieve learning objectives, which also responds to each student’s socio-emotional and academic needs. The diagram shows what information is taken into consideration by the Educator while assisting the Student to craft their Learning PlanI’ve added Curriculum– as excited as I am about Relational Education, we still have a Curriculum framework we have to work within.
- Some of these skills are taught in auxiliary classes at Universities – but are more then appropriate and useful for all people, and can be taught much earlier. These bring learning closer to the Scientific Method of Exploration AND adding in the networking and social skills required for the new eraLooking at these, you can see how helpful it would be for those with Learning or Social Difficulties to be supported and taught.
- How young?How about 3?
- These do not necessarily have to be ePortfolios!These are repositories and sorting mechanisms and relationships – they might be a single tool, they might be multiple toolsWhen looking at a technology platform, you want something that can gather in evidences from diverse toolsPERSONAL REALM. I like Roller Derby – that isn’t Community/Vocational, its not Academic… but knowing that might lead to a physical exercise I enjoy, or a discussion on gender issues in sportsIt is still valid for me as a whole person – and it can ‘leak’ into the other arenas.
- You want to know what 1 to 1 teaching is – look at the Apple Genius Bar.Its when you need a question answeredIts when you are gathering info and need clarificationIts when you are unsure Its then when you need it!As well as helping work out the Learning Contracts and Assessing Projects – its is timely and there to get you to a point where you are more independent
- Assessment CriteriaQuality – quality of the work producedReach – mastery of the topicEffort – personal effort involvedConduct – dependency thru to autonomyInterim Reports & Biweekly AssessmentsStrengthsWeaknessesReading levelSkill abilitiesQuarterly ConferencesDiscussion on performance and issues between parents, students and educators
- Family is within the ‘school community’Assist in the education of their childQuarterly conferences student-educator-parentReview feedbackInput in the development of learning plansHelp discover student’s potential
- These six processes can be supported and enhanced by the Technology PlatformNow – we’ll dive into Mutating Your Moodle – and using additional tools to feed into Moodle as a platform for this style of learning
- Teams of 4-5Preferably outside of your normal group (find strangers!)Will take up to an hour
