It is a myth that we operate under a set of oppressive bureaucratic constraints. In reality, teachers have a great deal of autonomy in the work they chose to do in their classrooms. In most cases it is our culture that provides the constraints. For individual teachers, trying out new practices and pedagogy is risky business and both our culture, and our reliance on hierarchy, provide the ideal barriers for change not to occur. As Pogo pointed out long ago, “we have met the enemy and it is us.” http://www.cea-ace.ca/blog/brian-harrison/2013/09/5/stop-asking-permission-change

Paul's words matter, y'all. They are a tangible reminder that it is OUR fault when kids think school is pointless. The simple truth is that engaging learners means helping students to see the value -- to themselves, to their communities, to the world -- in every single lesson. #trudatchat Learn more: https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2015/05/26/what-are-the-skills-needed-from-students-in-the-future/ http://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching/?tag=Rise+of+the+Professional+Educator

Great Teachers are Not Rock Stars Education is a service industry and whenever a service industry becomes more focused on protecting and preserving the preferences and traditions of the professionals than meeting the needs of those being served, there are serious problems on the horizon.

Jim Collins, author of the bestseller book “Good To Great : Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t” is convinced that “the good-to-great findings apply broadly—not just to CEOs but also to you and me in whatever work we’re engaged in, including the work of our own lives.” The guiding question to transforming schools from good to great should be: What can we do better than we are doing in the status quo? Big data has no big influence if it is not driven up to the top of the DIKW pyramid, where wisdom is the sum up of the school consistent efforts to move forward. Making good schools great challenges educators to take their school performance to a higher level than expected. They are challenged to simulate life for learners not only to prepare them for one.

8 Characteristics Of A Great Teacher What makes a teacher strong? What differentiates the best from the rest? There’s no shortage of bodies (some dramatically misguided) attempting to solve this riddle. The answers are nebulous at best. Below is a list of traits, some of which may be familiar but many of which will never show up on any sort of performance review. Check them out and see what you think. 1. They Demonstrate Confidence Confidence while teaching can mean any number of things, it can range from having confidence in your knowledge of the material being learned to having confidence that your teaching acumen is second to none. Though these two (and many other) “confidences” are important the most critical confidence a teacher can have is much more general, and tougher to describe than that. It’s the confidence that you know you’re in the right spot doing what you want to be doing and that no matter what transpires, having that time to spend with those young learners is going to be beneficial both for them and for yourself. It’s clear to students when teachers exude this feeling. Working in schools is difficult and stressful, and also immensely rewarding. But if you’re not confident that you’re in the right place when you’re teaching…you’re probably not. They understand that learning is not a neat and tidy activity and that adhering too closely to rules and routines can drain from students the natural curiosity, spontaneity and passion that they bring to school. Worrying about what the boss may think can be draining and restrictive in any job, teaching is no exception. In fact, the best teachers live by the code “It’s easier to get forgiveness than permission.” Learn more: http://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching/?tag=Rise+of+the+Professional+Educator

What if teachers could lead without leaving the classroom—and in doing so, incubate and execute their own policy and pedagogical ideas? In recent years, the Center for Teaching Quality has supported two dozen teacherpreneurs — expert teachers who typically have a reduced teaching load of 50% — to lead bold reforms at the school, district, state and national levels. In partnership with districts (and with philanthropic financial support), teacherpreneurs like Noah Zeichner, Ali Wright, Jessica Cuthbertson and Julie Hiltz have achieved remarkable results for students, schools and the profession. These classroom experts have generated powerful proof points for CTQ’s bold brand of teacher leadership, documented in a series of case studies. Their experiences have also yielded “lessons learned” that we can share with others interested in this model: Extra time yields extraordinary results. The best teacherpreneurs “lead from the middle. Technology keeps teacher leaders connected with the world while based in the classroom. Relationships matter. Blurring the lines between policy and practice makes each stronger. When educators can teach and lead, they and their schools benefit. Learn more:

I chose this resources because I was interested in the concept of "teacherpreneurs". The opportunity to be afforded the time to engage in policy development and leadership roles is certainly terrific. I've always felt the influence from the ground level (teachers) is seldom felt. Instead, influence remains with the research community and union organizations. Of the specific points described in this article is that "The best teacherpreneurs lead from the middle". Teachers respond to others who are dealing with the same pressures and stresses associated with teaching.

I scooped this article because more and more the topic of teacherpreneurs is coming up. I like the idea of teachers as leaders, and even helping with policies. It will be interesting to see if this expands more in the future. I hope that teachers reading this article watch this course of study/action closely and take part in it when they can, as we need more teachers to move into leadership and even into advocacy roles for education.

Introducing technology into classrooms is more than just providing the devices and internet connections. Educators need to develop skills and attitudes in incorporating these technologies into their teaching practises. We know technology is a part of our everyday life, but how to we use it to effectively educate our students and what happens to schools that can not financially invest in these technologies. With technology changing so quickly and frequently, how do educators stay up to date and skilled in these areas to be able to educate effectively?
