IN THE HEART OF A TEACHER IS A STUDENT

• “ A teacher can never truly teach unless she is learning herself. A lamp can never light another flame unless it continue to burn its own flame.”

Achieving Street Smart and School Smart

• We need a major shift in the existing educational paradigm. This shift demands that we rethink – The design of our school, our classrooms, and our

learning environment.– Rethink about our instructional design, – What constitute learning ? and – What it means to be intelligent?– How we assess and evaluate students ?

1. Solution Fluency

Define the problem – because you need to

know exactly what you are doing before you

start

Discover a solution, because planning

prevents wasted efforts

Dream up a process, one that is suitable.

Design up a process in an accurate and

detailed action plan.

Deliver by putting the plan into action in both production and

publishing the solution.

Debrief about process and results….

Information fluency is the ability to unconsciously interpret this avalanche of data in all formats, in order to extract the essential and perceive its significance

Global Digital Citizen

We have become elevated to the status of global citizens, both socially and as a workforce. As such, we need to understand that we must be able to communicate and collaborate with people of other cultures, both in person and in virtual environment.Learning shifts from the teacher to the student. And they are accountable for their learning.

How do I develop these fluencies in my students ?

Give them a project based assignment ( Solution Fluency)

Allow them to use all sources for search ( Information Fluency)

Allow them to use their own ingenuity to present the final outcome ( Creativity Fluency)

Make groups and allow sharing of information (collaboration)

Advise them not to copy paste the work of others –rather take guidelines from the good work of others, respect diversity of culture, religion and language ( global Citizens)
