What our SD kids are saying… • 1st year Classroom Connections survey data • Students in general don’t find school interesting, SD data was similar to other sources in this area • Not exactly same as what teachers say • Amount of time spent lecturing • Amount of time memorizing facts, figures, dates • Amount of time spent on worksheets, textbook questions • Amount of time spent on solving complex, real life problems • Amount of time spent researching topics deeply enough to be experts

  25. General Findings • Amount of time students did the following weekly or more… • Much MORE than 50% of the time spent on • Work individually answering questions (textbook or other)
