What if students made a school?<\/strong><\/a> — from nextgenlearning.org by Tom Carroll<\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

What would happen if we trusted students to design their schools? Student voice and choice are core principles of a personalized learning movement that is empowering today\u2019s youth to take responsibility for the knowledge, skills and abilities they need to thrive in college, careers and life.<\/p>\n

As new education models grow to support this movement, are we ready to take the next step: asking students to help us customize the staff, space, curriculum, tools, and time they need for deeper learning?
\n…
\nAlthough these competitions took place over a decade ago, the students developed five design concepts that are as relevant today<\/em> as when they were originally drafted.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Co-Created Curriculum<\/li>\n
  2. Collaborative Learning<\/li>\n
  3. Commitments from Capable Adults<\/li>\n
  4. Connected Learning \u2013 Doing Real<\/em> Work<\/li>\n
  5. Comfortable, Customizable Learning Space<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Karl Kapp “The Case of the Disengaged Learner” #ATDTK<\/strong><\/a> — from cammybean.kineo.com by Cammy Bean
    \nThese are my liveblogged notes from Karl Kapp’s session at ATD TechKnowledge, happening this week in Las Vegas. Forgive any typos or incoherencies.<\/i><\/p>\n

    Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Start instruction with ACTION<\/b> and not objectives. \u00a0Draw the learner in with action and encourage engagement. Make the learner do something. Have them identify something right away; make a decision right away; answer a question. Give them a complicated problem to solve. Confront a challenge. Create a curiosity gap — something you can do before hand that will raise a question that they want to know the answer to.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Law & Order (the tv) creates open loops<\/b> — you HAVE to watch to the end to find out what happens. Leave them on a cliffhanger…it pulls you along.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In ID we create a closed loop: “by the end of this module, you will learn…” \u00a0Instead open with “Do you know the #1 method to close sales in our company. Find out in this module.”<\/p>\n

    Start with a question that pulls the learner in – this creates an OPEN LOOP that draws them into the instruction. Don’t lead with the objectives (you still need ’em to design your instruction).<\/p>\n

    Create a challenging<\/b> experience. Don’t make it frustrating, but create some struggle to get to the answer. Our best experiences are when we have that ah-ha moment, that breakthrough.
    \n…
    \nAdd novelty<\/b>. New and different catches our attention.<\/p>\n

    Excerpt from<\/em> Cammy Bean’s posting<\/a>:\u00a0 David Kelly “Building a Learning Strategy from an Ecosystem of Resources” #ATDTK<\/strong> (emphasis DSC)<\/span><\/em>
    \n<\/strong><\/p>\n

    So what is a learning and performance ecosystem?<\/b> It’s an organic entity that evolves over time. It’s finding the resources all around that support performance (not just training!). We’ve got multiple systems in our orgs — in a well-run org, those systems are all connected.<\/p>\n

    It’s a new mindset for those in L&D and training.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
