Jane Peschel replied to Keith Boniface's discussion 'Laptops and learning'

It's also not "what will we teach them?" but "what did they learn?" I watched a lesson that was supposed to be teaching students the concept of "myth". They were to create their own using Photo Story. They learned…

Jeffrey Fuller commented on Jane Peschel's blog post 'Dealing with the Stress of Change'

In addition, any ideas that you do have about change, must be sold to the teaching staff. Don't be afraid to share the fact that your recommendations were accepted. Sell them to your colleagues.

Jeffrey Fuller commented on Jane Peschel's blog post 'Dealing with the Stress of Change'

First, you must include teachers in the process. Teachers will refuse any efforts that are dictated to them from the top. Because teachers have first hand day-to-day experience working with the kids in the classroom, they "ARE," in fact,…

Dealing with the Stress of Change

Our district is in the middle of many change initiatives that are focused on developing a different accountability system for student learning. The drive is coming from the School Board and is fueled by everything they have been reading in "The World is Flat", "Disrupting Class", and more.Although small task force groups have attempted to grapple with what needs to change with our current graduation requirements and grading system, the groups fall short of being able to make meaningful creative…See More

Jane Peschel replied to Steve Hargadon's discussion 'Secretary of Education Discussion: What Questions Were Not Asked?'

I completely agree with this..."The longer thoughtful teachers teach, the more aware are they of the difficulty of the task, and the more modest they become in their claims of success. Teachers, good teachers, the kind of teachers America…

Jane Peschel replied to Steve Hargadon's discussion 'Welcome!'

I have been in the field of education for 30+ years, if you add my years as an educational assistant and substitute teacher. This period of time is by far the most dynamic and exciting time out of all 30 years. There was a time, about 15 years ago,…

I thought i would fill you in with a bit of my history. I turned 60 in December. I have been married for 30 years. My wife and I have 4 kids. I started teaching when I was 33 years old, and taught young adults for 17 years. In 2001 I received a Masters Degree in Distance Education and in 2002 I started an online tutoring company.

Over the past 8 years I have spent a lot of time learning how kids learn. I have written a couple of books and more importantly have arrived at some startling conclusions that are aligned with some of the major thinkers in education today.

I had replied to your comment earlier so thought I would add this and hope to continue the conversation when we both have time.

At 6:36am on February 12, 2010, Jane Peschel said…: I am looking forward to being part of this community. Education has been my life and the changes that are happening now are the most exciting of my career! It is going to be great to have a place to talk about it!

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."

-David Shenk
