  1. September 25, 2012 According to Elliot Eisner, a respected scholar of curriculum in education, the term “curriculum” originates from the Latin word currere, which means “the course to be run”. But…what is deemed worthwhile to be part of the “course”? Meet in Staff Groups for Discussion of “Learning from Our Students”

  2. “Learning from Our Students” • If students really try, they will do well. Really? • Is it fair to tell students that they can be successful in whatever they want? • Do you believe there is such a thing as pedagogical fraud? • Can requiring all students to “master” the same curriculum actually be an example of inequality? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8limRtHZPs&feature=related

  3. 5. Respond to: “When genuine interest in learning is warped toward concern for the highest possible GPA, learning can get nasty.” 6. Do you think there is too much pressure on teachers to help students ensure high grades? 7. How do you feel about the statement, “I have never found it necessary to penalize late work?” 8. Noddings states, “Through listening to students, we can learn what motivates them and we can pique their interests by sharing our own intellectual interests.” What do YOU think motivates students?

  4. Beliefs Influence HOW we teachand WHAT we teach Personal beliefs form a powerful lens through which we view and judge all the things we teach For example, what do I believe about: - inclusion - all children being able to learn - subject “divisions” - learning environment - assigning homework http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=1985450n
