successful teacherpreneurs?

John Seely Brown, Visiting Scholar, University of

Southern California

“…you can’t just drop new innovations into a classroom and hope that the instructor will invent effective ways to use them. To fully utilize a new teaching technology, you often need to invent new teaching practices as well.”

Teacherpreneurship

“Finnish teachers pick books and customize lessons as they shape students to national standards… ‘. In Finland, the teachers are the entrepreneurs," says Mr. Schleicher, of the Paris-based OECD, which began the international student test in 2000.’

FIXED MINDSETA belief that you are what you are right now and can never improve or change.

GROWTH MINDSETA belief that you can grow, improve, and learn

Goal Setting Tip #1:

Accurately assess your

strengths and weaknesses

““If, like those with the growth mindset, you believe you can develop yourself, then you're open to accurate informationabout your current abilities, even if it's unflattering. What's more, if you're oriented toward learning, as they are, you need accurate information about your current abilities in order to learn effectively.”

Carol Dweck, Mindset

“Santa’s Motto” in my childhood home

“If you believe

you receive.”

Study of Expectations• 20% of students in the student were said to have “unusual potential for

intellectual growth”

• Three teachers selected were told they were selected because they were the best in the school

Rosenthal, R., and Jacobson, L. (1968). Pygmalion in the classroom: Teacher expectation and pupils' intellectual development'. New York: Rinehart and Winston.

At the end of the school year• Led the school and district in standardized test scores

• Jumped 20-30% in academic achievement over previous year.


Read

Guess what?

• The selections were RANDOM.• Students were a mix of good/bad/ medium.

• So were teachers!


You Believe, You Receive!

Essential Procedures

• Entering Room

• Exiting Room

• Being Excused from the Room

• Essential Positions for Teaching and Interacting

Today’s Procedures#1: When I need to get your attention

1. Index Finger: STOP

2. Middle Finger: LOOK

3. Ring Finger: LISTEN

4. Spread the fingers apart: WIN

So, when I say: “Give me a WIN!” What do you do?

I call this “teaching position”

Today’s Procedures#2: Signal for Your State of Mind• Put your name on your solo cups

• Green solo – EVERYTHING IS GOOD

• Red solo – I need help

Today’s Procedures#3: When you Must Exit• Put your cup on your chair. If you’ll be right back – green on top

• If you have an emergency and may not be back soon – red on top.

Let’s practice interacting

• Turn you chairs and make sure you can face everyone in your group. This is interacting position.

Activity Instructions

• INTERACTING POSITION

• 1. Use your sharpie to write on your cup and put it in the Green position.

• 2. Introduce yourself by tweeting your name, school to #gcuglobal

• 3. Learn the names of the person to your right and to your left

• You have 4 minutes and then we’ll WIN

• TURN YOURSELF BACK TO TEACHING POSITION
