Описание:
Where exactly did personalized learning go so wrong?
For teacher and consultant Paul France, at first technology-powered personalized learning seemed like a panacea. But after three years spent at a personalized learning start-up and network of microschools, he soon realized that such corporate-driven individualized learning initiatives do more harm than good, especially among our most vulnerable students. The far-superior alternative? A human-centered pedagogy that prioritizes children over technology.
First, let’s be clear: Reclaiming Personalized Learning is not yet-another ed tech book. Instead it’s a user’s guide to restoring equity and humanity to our classrooms and schools through personalization. One part polemical, eleven parts practical, the book describes how to:
Shape whole-class instruction, leverage small-group interactions, and nurture a student’s inner-dialogue
Cultivate awareness within and among students, and build autonomy and authority
Design curriculum with a flexible frame and where exactly the standards fit
Humanize assessment and instruction, including the place of responsive teaching
Create a sense of belonging, humanize technology integration, and effect socially just teaching and learning—all central issues in equity
The truth is this: there’s no one framework, there’s no one tool that makes learning personalized–what personalized learning companies with a vested interest in profits might tempt you to believe. It’s people who personalize learning, and people not technology must be at the center of education. The time is now for all of us teachers to reclaim personalized learning, and this all-important book is our very best resource for getting started.
“This is a compelling and critically important book for our time. With rich stories of teaching and learning Paul France considers ways to create the most positive learning experiences possible.”
- JO BOALER, Nomellini & Olivier Professor of Education, Stanford Graduate School of Education
“This brilliant book is a major contribution to the re-imagination of learning and teaching for the twenty-first century and should be essential reading for new and experienced teachers alike."
- TONY WAGNER, Senior Research Fellow, Learning Policy Institute
“In these troubled times, this book is more than a breath of fresh air, it is a call to action. Paul gives us an accessible and sophisticated book that explains how and why we should celebrate the humanity of every single student.”
- JIM KNIGHT, Senior Partner of the Instructional Coaching Group (ICG) and Author of The Impact Cycle
Описание: There is no shortage of innovations on offer for schools. Hardly a week passes without someone marching out the latest device, app, service, curricular add-on, or instructional technique that, we are told, is sure to cure the perennial woes of systemic education. This book is an investigation of this enchantment with "innovation" and its implications for not only everyday teaching and learning, but also the future of public education. Based on a study of The Innovation School—a public high school organized around makerspaces, design thinking, and personalized technology—the author challenges conventional wisdom about how educational transformation unfolds and argues that the popular understanding of innovation exacerbates inequality and undermines teacher and student autonomy. Building the Innovation School demonstrates how attending to the infrastructures of innovation leads to educational change that is driven by the interests and values of educators. Repair rather than disruption is the focus—a commitment to schools that allow all students to flourish.Book Features: Shows how specific innovations actually work over time in the everyday life of the classroom. Challenges the conventional wisdom about innovation, offering resources for breaking through the hype of current (and future) innovations-of-the-day. Offers a framework for "innovating from below," tailoring local innovations to the needs, values, and priorities of students, educators, and the community. Includes an appendix of resources for teachers and administrators interested in applying the frameworks from the book in their schools and classrooms.
