This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Stella Norman's Module 1 Map 2, Adaptive Expertise Adaptive experts change their core competencies and continually expand the breadth and depth of their expertise. One of the central features of Learner-Centered Classrooms is that teachers are learners along with their students. Teacher as learner is consistent with the concept of adaptive expertise. All educational professionals need to strive for adaptive expertise., Through reflection on and analysis of practice Maintaining a learner focus rather than a teacher or teaching focus Identifying meaning-mechanics tensions for exploration Engaging in principled investigation - theory driven questions Constructing/using formative assessment system - learning from evidence Assessment for Learning Thoughtful design, analysis and interpretation Learner Performance, Dilemma 2 Losing control of hands on activities ???? Connected to, Dilemma 3 Knowing what students understand Ms. Andrews is concerned about assessment and determiningwhat her students are learning and understanding. Principle 14: Standards and Assessments Appropriately high and challenging standards and assessing the learner and learning progress through diagnostic, process, and outcome assessments are integral to the learning process., Dilemma 3 Knowing what students understand Ms. Andrews is concerned about assessment and determiningwhat her students are learning and understanding. Principle 4: Strategic Thinking Learner can create and use a repertoire of thinking and reasoning strategies to achieve complex learning goals, Dilemma 3 Knowing what students understand ???? Connected to, Dilemma 3 Knowing what students understand Ms. Andrews is concerned about assessment and determiningwhat her students are learning and understanding. Principle 1: Nature of the Learning Process Intentional process of constructing meaning from information and experience., Dilemma 3 Knowing what students understand Ms. Andrews is concerned about assessment and determiningwhat her students are learning and understanding. Principle 6: Context of Learning Environmental influences including culture, technology, and instructional practices., Dilemma 3 Knowing what students understand ???? Principle 8: Intrinsic Motivation to Learn Learner creativity, higher order thinking, and natural curiosity all contribute to motivation to learn. Stimulated by tasks of optimal novelty and difficulty relevant to personal interests, and providing for personal choice and control., Dilemma 3 Knowing what students understand Ms. Andrews is concerned about assessment and determiningwhat her students are learning and understanding. Principle 3: Construction of Knowledge Learner can link new information with existing knowledge in meaningful ways., Through reflection on and analysis of practice Maintaining a learner focus rather than a teacher or teaching focus Identifying meaning-mechanics tensions for exploration Engaging in principled investigation - theory driven questions Constructing/using formative assessment system - learning from evidence Assessment for Learning Thoughtful design, analysis and interpretation Dispiplinary Content, Dilemma 1: Engagine Diverse Learners Issues: Ms. Andrews' lack of comfort and knowledge in the area of science and math. The classroom is diverse in regard to ablilty. Ms. Andrews wants to integrate reading and writing into the lessons. Principle 12: Individual Differences in Learning Learners have different strategies, approaches, and capabilities that are a function of prior experience and heredity., How do Ms. Andrews' Dilemmas Relate to the Learner Centered Principles? Ms. Andrews received an alternative teaching certificate. She is more confident with students She is comfortable with language arts and social studies. She is planning a unit on motion, speed, acceleration and velocity - scary. She has a science coordinator at the school and is aware of science learning standards. Dilemma 2 Losing control of hands on activities, One of the central features of Learner-Centered Classrooms is that teachers are learners along with their students. Teacher as learner is consistent with the concept of adaptive expertise. All educational professionals need to strive for adaptive expertise. Pedagigical Content Knowledge Through reflection on and analysis of practice Maintaining a learner focus rather than a teacher or teaching focus Identifying meaning-mechanics tensions for exploration Engaging in principled investigation - theory driven questions Constructing/using formative assessment system - learning from evidence, Dilemma 3 Knowing what students understand Ms. Andrews is concerned about assessment and determiningwhat her students are learning and understanding. Principle 2: Goals of the Learning Process With support, time, and instructional guidance the learner can crate meaningful, coherent representations of knowledge., Dilemma 1: Engagine Diverse Learners Issues: Ms. Andrews' lack of comfort and knowledge in the area of science and math. The classroom is diverse in regard to ablilty. Ms. Andrews wants to integrate reading and writing into the lessons. Connected to, How do Ms. Andrews' Dilemmas Relate to the Learner Centered Principles? Ms. Andrews received an alternative teaching certificate. She is more confident with students She is comfortable with language arts and social studies. She is planning a unit on motion, speed, acceleration and velocity - scary. She has a science coordinator at the school and is aware of science learning standards. Dilemma 1: Engagine Diverse Learners, Dilemma 2 Losing control of hands on activities Ms. Andrews is concerned that she will lose control when conducting hands-on science activities with her students. Principle 10: Developmental Influences on Learning As individuals develop there are different opportunities and constraints for learning. Learning is most effective when differential development within and across physical, intellectual, emotional, and social domains is taken into account., One of the central features of Learner-Centered Classrooms is that teachers are learners along with their students. Teacher as learner is consistent with the concept of adaptive expertise. All educational professionals need to strive for adaptive expertise. Routine experts acquire a core set of competencies and apply them throughout their careers with greater and greater efficiency. Routine Expertise, Connected to ???? ????
