= = ="If schools got it right for adolescent learners, what would it look like?"=

For each model of schooling, please answer the following:

//1. What is the purpose of this school? 2. What does the physical space look like? Describe the school setting, what does this tell us about what matters? What is valued in this form of schooling? 3. What is the curriculum? What is worth knowing? What is not valued? 4. How is success determined in this form of schooling?

1. What are the challenges being presented? We need to think mathematically, all of our information is coming out of our textbooks. We need to rearrange the classroom so it is a non-distracting classroom, with useful stuff. Take knowledge from the mind, and not the book.

2. What is the speaker or author suggesting the 21st century needs to respond to? We need to make math learning different, and more engaging and fun, even though it isn’t. What Teddy boy suggests is that we change our match curriculum to fit our needs, not the textbook needs. We need knowledge not dead information like we are doing now.

3. What ideas/suggestions is the author/speaker presenting? We should allow more freedom in learning and also we should make students learn in a different way in order to learn the same subject in a more engaging and enjoyable way

4. As a group, come up with at least 10 critical questions that will help guide your research.

What is the curriculum based on, has it changed over the years? Does it need to be changed?

Why should we have to learn a curriculum rather than the skills we need?
