Over the past seven months, Incubate Learning and Getting Smart, with the sponsorship of LearnerStudio, have been curating, editing, and writing a blog series that showcases the voices of 30+ organizations building the future of learning today. The series includes the voices of:
- Students envisioning the education system they want and need
- Schools redesigning the core of what they do for the five-seven hours students are present
- School districts and charter networks reformulating how they operate so that their students can thrive in today's world, not the 19th century
- Organizations that support all this work of redesign in different communities and contexts
- Thought leaders exploring how policy and philanthropy can support these new designs
- and more
From these many voices, Incubate Learning and Getting Smart have distilled 7 design principles for schools/learning environments and 5 systemic moves we need to make to nurture such learning environments.
You can find the 7 Design Principles and 5 Systemic Moves, as well as the entire series of 24 blogs, below.
What are Teacher Roles + Responsibilities in Third Horizon Learning Models?
We also heard from some readers that the link for the 3 Learning Models framework from our previous post didn't work, so we've included it again here. This framework highlights 3 different models of pedagogy:
- traditional
- standards-based personalized mastery
- competency-based personalized mastery
It shows how teachers and students operate differently in these three models -- across 7 dimensions:
- pedagogical approach
- classroom management
- curriculum design
- student support
- pacing
- assessment practices
- flexibility
Let’s build a future where every teacher and adult in the school is equipped to meet students where they are and help them grow in meaningful ways.
