TRADITIONAL VS NORTHSTAR EDUCATION

• Summative exams: focus on outcome

Students have no idea how they’re doing till they get the results. No feedback, room for improvement

• Formative evaluation: focus on process

Allows for reflection, iteration, growth, improvement Maybe a staircase of continuous feedback, reflection and growth

TRADITIONAL VS NORTHSTAR EDUCATION

• School as preparation for life

A burden that must be born because it allows you to have success, fun etc later on

• School as part of life

A time to live and learn and practice and improve

CONTEMPORARY PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING

Example: Summit Public Schools

CONTEMPORARY PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING

Example: Summit Public Schools

1. 2. 3. 4.

Challenge-seeking (taking charge, asking for assessments) Strategy-shifting (setting goals, reflecting) Response to setbacks (learning from failure) Appropriate Help-seeking (knowing strengths & weaknesses) 5. Persistence (applying effort)

CONTEMPORARY PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES

SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING

Student takes responsibility for own learning - Student must unlearn expecting answers and instructions from the teacher, and learn to set personal goals and make strategies for learning

Teacher facilitates and mentors student learning - Teachers must unlearn providing answers and instead provide the right questions to help students set goal and reflect on their learning
