Educators are eager to create 21st-century skilled, self-directed learners—but what needs to be in place for that to be successful? How can educators move from classroom learning that is unconnected from students’ lived experiences and create opportunities for students to use their skills and knowledge to lead their learning?
In this edWeb podcast, educator and researcher Julie Stern and edtech expert and educator Maria Arfanakis discusses how schools can shift their focus from teaching to the standards to teaching for learning transfer. The presenters share more about what learning transfer is and how educators can use it to design equitable learning experiences that are meaningful and engaging. Educators learn how the right instructional moves, such as discussion-focused collaborative games, create a perfect conduit to harness students’ prior learning and experiences, move students toward expertise, and improve students’ social-emotional learning.
The conversation addresses the practical steps educators can take to move from a teacher-controlled to a student-led classroom, how leaders can encourage their staff to prioritize the instructional behaviors that maximize student learning while preparing students to tackle the complex challenges in their careers, and how centralizing learning transfer has the power to transform schools into vibrant laboratories of learning and problem solving.
This edWeb podcast is of interest to teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders of all grade levels.
