One of our favorite "Teaching Films"

The students react in wonder to a teacher who is out of the ordinary.

'Rip out pages of your book!"

"Stand on your desk!"

"Walk different!"

And yet we're doing this...

Maybe we should imitate the CIA?

The intelligence community failed to connect the dots...but they had ALL the information they needed.

The Myth of the Solitary Educator

Keating wanted his students to succeed and to stand out.

The administrators wanted students to be quiet, respectful and orderly.

The Myth of the Solitary Educator

In a 21st century learning environment, those goals may not be compatible.

Page 19: CAIS 21st Century Learning

Standing out doesn't have to mean standing up, though.

It's a new kind of creativity

Page 21: CAIS 21st Century Learning

And there are times when it's noisy

Page 22: CAIS 21st Century Learning

And times when it's silent,                                     but data-driven

Page 23: CAIS 21st Century Learning

And times when it crosses school boundaries.

Page 24: CAIS 21st Century Learning

We have to make the leap the intelligence agencies made.

Page 25: CAIS 21st Century Learning

We have to adopt and adapt to the changes of a networked world.

Introduce yourself to three people   

• Trade business cards• Find out what they do• Tell them why you're here

• Write them a note after• Tell them what you got• Report on your successes

and your failures.

We need to know what's going on. We need to know what's not working. We need to evolve our best practices.

Network!

We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

— Martin Luther King,Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963.
