Professional learning teams—
Engaged in action research related to 21st Century change and the shifts we have been exploring in PLP—
Many Ohio Consortium teams, transparent in their process—
Providing a window onto their exciting, intense, collaborative, and difficult work—
On the way to building capacity for change in their districts—
With vision–
This project will allow students to rediscover the joy of learning by re-inventing the concept of going to school. Teachers will need to model the behaviors we hope the students will adopt, and they will need to coach students as they find their way. We will need to re-teach the young people at our school how to be learners and how to take charge of their own learning. But we may need to re-teach and re-invent ourselves as well. Chinquapin team
With burning questions—
How to keep students engaged in learning outside of the classroom while using the same technologies that they are using in their personal learning networks? Forest Hills high school team
How can a Standards-based Professional Development program using and implementing 21st Century skills have an impact on teaching and learning at our school? Parish Episcopal team
How can we increase our student learning and motivation in math and science utilizing a collaborative approach? Berea elementary team
April Lempa Cooper, from the Milford team mentioned in a virtual community comment:
..feels like we are on the cusp of some real changes…
I sense that too from tensions inherent in the questions and vision, from learning I’ve had the privilege to see in our virtual community, and from the commitment of team members as their team has experienced storming and norming on their way to performing. Teams, full of hope when our cohort began last fall, have moved beyond hope to important work with their action research projects and are “on the cusp of some real changes”.
