The key elements of the student experience
The key elements of the student experience
We believe in starting with the n-user in mind.
And in a school, the n-user is a student.
So when we're designing the ideal learning environment for students, we let you to hold four big ideas in your mind. The first is student ownership.
The second, personalized education.Third, mastery based, and finally, deep relationships.
I had a teacher say to me, you know, the old adage, "Whoever does the work in the classroom does the learning."
Well, in my classroom, I'm doing all the work, and I think that's so true of so many of our schools throughout the entire world.
It's like the American education system is this gigantic canoe with 50,000,000 students in it.
And each year, there's a few thousand brave teachers with those paddles just breaking their back trying to make a little bit of progress down the river.
What happens if we give the students the paddles?
If we can convince them to really put the back into the effort, that's the big force multiplying change that we're looking for.
It's as if the biggest wasted resource in our system is actually the effort of the students.
So think about one other thing as well, which is that as we think about life-long success in students going into post-secondary institutions, there's not the support around them that there is in K-12 education systems, and so if they learn to own their learning, they can be far more successful in the future.
I can do more than people think I can because I am smart and I know what I can do. I know the things I can do.
If you can't make a plan and follow through with it without someone praising you or supporting you along the way, that's going to severely limit what you can do with your life.
And I think we've all seen the students that can do that are more successful.
When I think about the students that I've taught previously, especially in high school, it breaks my heart to admit this, but you can look at the kids coming in day 1, and you can more or less figure it out like that kid's going to make it to college, that kid's not, that kid is, that kid isn't, and by large, it was that the skill of self-direction ownership."
So, the second big idea around the ideal student experience is personalization.
And this is getting at that concept of every student gets what they need exactly when they need it.
And in education speak, we call it "differentiation."
But I think "differentiation" is a word that was invented to make teachers feel bad about ourselves because in reality, we just can't do it manually.
And this is where technology holds some promise to maybe give teachers the potential to do more personalization.
So, the idea of personalization is getting away from the set curriculum at the set speed for every single student.
I had this epiphany recently. I was sitting in a back of a classroom watching a really good teacher in a good school just do their best song and dance and try to deliver a great lesson.
And it sort of hit me that a bunch of these students already know this material.
Maybe a third of a class is sitting there, and if we test them now, they could show proficiency.
But they're good kids, so they smile and nod and wait through it, but it's essentially a wasted class.
And as I watch them, I could see like their little heads turning yellow on the dated dashboard; it wasn't the right lesson for them.
And then you realize, well, for another third of the class, they don't have the background knowledge or they're lacking a certain skill to make this lesson accessible.
So it's not only a waste of their time, but it's truly frustrating because they know they're not ready for this lesson.
And those poor students - I could see their heads turning red on their little dashboard.
And maybe, for a third of the class, there was the right lesson at the right time.
They were in their zone of proximal development and they were getting the right material.
And maybe those students could turn green.
And then the thing really hit me was I, as the observer, and probably even the teacher, wasn't able to tell which student was which.
Every kid can be working on exactly what they need to be working on when they're ready for it. It's huge.
One of my biggest frustrations as the teacher was always the fact that I knew they're kids sitting in my class bored because what we're learning in class - they're like they got - was easy for them.
And as much as I try to differentiate, I knew I could never plan 30 different lessons within a single day.
You know, there were just too many kids with too many different needs, and as a single teacher trying to plan out a single - even differentiate a lesson every day like you couldn't actually meet the needs of all the kids."
So the next idea is mastery based education.
Now, think about Brian's example, and think about those students who could've already have passed at the material.
Wouldn't it be great if we could just give them a test upfront, so they can show them their proficiency and just keep moving on.
Michael actually did a really nice Q&A recently on Forbes, with our friends from the Learning Accelerator, using the analogy of mastery based education being like kung fu.
And think about this for a sec.
You know that there's a progression of belts.
You know what you have to do to show mastery on any belt, and students can still be in the same dojo working on their own individualized skill, and then advance when they've actually shown mastery.
At Summit, we focus on mastery based learning, because it's simply not okay to continue passing students on from class to class year to year when they're full of Swiss cheese holes in their content knowledge.
So, by having a mastery based system, where students must show competency in content before progressing.
We know we're setting them up for success down the road, when the courses get harder and the content more challenging because they're going to have the base level of competency that they made."
So, the last idea to hold on to around the ideal student experience is relationships.
We still think that teachers are the center of any learning process, and that relationship between student and teacher, and frankly even student to student, is a core and essential part of any good learning environment.
A lot of people worry, and rightly so, that if we just put technology into classrooms, that it's going to be actually terrible for education because students would be sort of like the night of the living dead, sitting in front of a computer screen for 8 hours just clicking away mindlessly.
But, the really big surprise that we've seen when we go into blended learning environments is how much interaction students are having with each other.
They're bouncing off to talk with other students about their assignments, they're talking with their teachers, much more 1-on-1 interaction.
And at first, it seems really surprising, but what I realized is I've step back is that if you think about the typical 30-to-1 lecture format for a class, actually, there's very little opportunities for personalization there.
But in these blended models, when you start having these small group rotations, opportunities for tutoring, and other such experiences, there's a lot more time for 1-on-1 interaction.
Teachers spend a lot more time doing 1-to-1 conferencing or small group conferencing, even a high school environment.
So I think there's a great tradition to small group instruction in elementary, but you really haven't seen that in secondary schools. I should know as a secondary math teacher.
But, all of a sudden, it's a lot of 1-to-1, it's a lot of 2-to-1, it's a lot of 3-to-1, and for the teacher, it's great because those are the experiences they've really wanted all along.
And for the student, we talked about it and we make movies about how impersonal and big high schools are and how hard it is to really get to be known, and when you meet students and see their interactions with teachers in the environment, it's really intimate, and it's really personalized.
And if people felt really well known, sometimes what kids need is they don't need a lesson in how to do x, y, and z, they just need to know that you care about them, and that you're interested in who they are, and teachers can do that of a 90 second or 5 minute type check in as they're going around and doing those things.
But it completely changes how you spend your time in a learning environment.
And I use that word intentionally.
It's a learning environment. My teachers make me feel more motivated to go to school because when you go in and go, you come down."
They don't let you stay; they'll help you come back up.
And if you're falling behind, they will help you come back up to catch up."
So again, hold on to this list of the four big ideas for the ideal student experience: ownership, personalization, mastery based, and relationships.
So when we're designing the ideal learning environment for students, we let you to hold four big ideas in your mind. The first is student ownership.발음듣기
