Why is the synergy so essential right now? Optimizing learning, achievement, self-actualization & contribution for every learner
Why the urgency? We can no longer lose the human capital of our young generation.
Grounded in Neuroplasticity: “Genius is more than genes.” “Regardless of the brain with which we are born, every brain is capable of neuroplasticity. This means that with practice and effort we can build the brains we want.” — Judy Willis
Neuroscience and Value of Learning • 90 % – transport nutrients, regulate immune system • 10% (dendrites & axons) • Info processing & connect information THE PROPENSITY OF ALL BRAINS FOR DEVELOPING STRENGTHS & High Intellectual Performances
Neuroscience of Value and Learning: The propensity of all brains for developing strengths and high intellectual performances
Definition of Personalized Learning Personalized learning is a progressively student-driven model where students deeply engage in meaningful, authentic, and rigorous challenges to demonstrate desired outcomes. — Zmuda, Curtis, Ullman (2015)
Antiquated Learning Model Only some learners have access to full taxonomy
Reimagined Learning Model • All students need to have foundational thinking and fluency skills. • All students need to be challenged by non-routine application of skills, content, and potentially innovative experiences.
Conduit for Equity Consciousness: High Operational Practices • Identifying and activating strengths • Building relationships • Nurturing high intellectual performances • Providing enrichment • Incorporating prerequisites • Situating learning in the lives of students • Amplifying student voice
Using High Operational Practices • Identifying and Activating Strengths • Building Relationships • Nurturing High Intellectual Performances • Providing Enrichment • Incorporating Prerequisites • Situating Learning In The Lives Of Student • Amplifying Student Voice Culturally Responsive Teaching • Validating • Comprehensive • Multidimensional • Empowering • Transformative • Emancipatory
Through experimentation, feedback, persistent practice, risk taking, failure, and success, every one of us continues to discover our interests, passions, potentials, aversions, values, styles, and tastes.
