    1. One purpose of lesson study is to continually improve the experiences that teachers provide for their students

      This should be a great reason for admins to look at.

    2. Using video to reflect upon teaching practice has been shown by several studies to improve teaching practice or student achievement

      Using a video gives me a visual/audial represenation of where I think my practice is at.

    3. Professional learning communities (PLCs) or networks (PLNs) are groups of teachers that share and critically interrogate their practices in an ongoing, reflective, collaborative, inclusive, learning-oriented, and growth-promoting way to mutually enhance teacher and student learning

      This I believe also would enhance school learning efforts. Anytime you broaden your PLN I feel you are exposed to multiple resources.

    4. Schools that foster trust among parents, teachers, and school leaders

      I have always heard that trust and communication are two great things that lead to success anywhere #maet16

    5. A vision of academic success for all students based on high expectations A safe and cooperative climate for learning Support and training to promote continual professional learning Data to track and promote collaborative inquiry and practices that improve student learning Cultivating leadership in staff, parents, and community partners

      Effective leadership does start with a vision. You also want to foster a safe learning and cooperative environment. If teachers (such as the presenation Piotr, Kate and Kristen) have training to teach students that should help. You also need to use data to make sure that their is a GROWTH model. Part of being a leader is to have a good attitude and making that contagious towards other staff members, parents and community members.#MAET16

    1. most of the examples we've provided require educators to repurpose existing tools for peda-gogical.purposes. For instance, using the die-cut printer for teaching solid geometry was not something the tool was designed for-but it is an extremely powerful tool for doing so. We have described this idea of "creative repurposing"

      This is REMIXING! Taking another idea and using it as our own. Just like educators taking other ideas and mixing it up

    2. Creative people think dimensionally when they change the scale of things, when they take two-dimensional information on blueprints and construct them in three dimensions, or vice versa.

      This reminds me of the maker's project. How do we build and question to make things...

    3. Creative people use Abstracting in order to concen-trate on one feature of a thing or process, in order to boil it down to basics and grasp its essence

      This reminds me of the article of how people learn. Also, reminds me of remixing and making new ideas

    1. First, students may have knowledge that is relevant to a learning situation that is not activated. By helping activate this knowledge, teachers can build on students’ strengths. Second, students may misinterpret new information because of previous knowledge they use to construct new understandings. Third, students may have difficulty with particular school teaching practices that conflict with practices in their community.

      Any type of learning that occurs with previous life outcomes can affect a student. That is up to the teacher to find out what is going on in this students life. Then it is up to to the teacher to engage this student and find out what they know.

    2. Many of the activities mentioned by the students had involved a great deal of hard work on their part: for example, they had had to learn about geometry and architecture in order to get the chance to create blueprints for the playhouses, and they had had to explain their blueprints to a group of outside experts who held them to very high standards

      I think this is very true. There has to be prerequisite paths to learning to be able to accomplish items. When learning occurs real life teaching methods can be applied

    3. Expertise in an area does not guarantee that one can effectively teach others about that area. Expert teachers know the kinds of difficulties that students are likely to face

      Very true. Someone. Old be extremely smart. However, if they cannot build relationships with students. I do not think much learning will occur.

    4. students

      When I taught six years ago for the first time and gained all that knowledge from college. It was interesting to see a wide range of knowledge. I had forgotten how some of my teachers would really break down steps. Some of my professors in college did not do that. I thought of that when I heard experts

    5. sense

      Unfortunately, I feel a lot of students don't want to know the why but how a problem is solved. I think telling the purpose of the curriculum is vital

    6. universal

      I believe there is a lot of practices to try. It is best to experiment with each one. Just because one lesson can go we'll with one class does not mean it will be effective with another.

    7. Emerging technologies are leading to the development of many new opportunities to guide and enhance learning that were unimagined even a few years ago.

      Students are finding applications before myself. I found an app called math photo that solves problems by taking a picture of the problem. Students showed me this

    8. Today

      Seeing students use technology more and more is how the world is changing. I believe what I learned in school is outdated and I graduated high school ten years ago.
