Infographic: Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning

Infographic: Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Education can scratch the surface, or it can go deep – providing students with not just subject knowledge, but the skills required to master that subject.

Skills such as inquiry, critical thinking, and collaborative problem solving equip students with the tools they need to succeed in college and the workforce. Tools that set the foundation for lifelong learning.

In order to move to a competency-based system, we should take advantage of the opportunity to model that approach for those at the head of the classroom: teachers."

Beth Dichter's insight:

This infographic provides a look at what may need to change in teacher education. Areas explored include:

* Preparation and Professional Development, including sections on

For me, the topic of this article is very important since in order to get our students to think critically and achieve each of the levels of thinking, as teachers, we need to learn how to think critically first; we need to embrace this ability so we can reflect it to your students.

Competency Based Education... in 5 easy steps | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's insight:

As the Common Core tests becomes more of a reality there is also conversation about competency based education. We know that not all students learn at the same pace of in the same way and competency based education would address these concerns. This infographic by Mia MacMeekin provides  a great overview of the five steps to move in this direction:

* Define and state the goal.

* Design the path.

* Design authentic assessments for each competency.

* Add an array of content and discovery resources.

* Gamify the course.
Some additional information is found in the infographic.
