I think Secondary schools have much to learn from our Primary colleagues - doing my e-fellowship and being the only secondary practitioner in the bunch was a real eye opener in regards to how much more focused on pedagogy primary teachers generally are.

Two things stood out for me - Gateways as an opportunity to stop and reflect on what has been achieved and what is still needed and the way they have been able to work with universities to enable them to translate the learning of the Big Picture schools.Michalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04130231880471641375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044576021219205068.post-76379629203459174522013-04-14T15:35:12.671+12:002013-04-14T15:35:12.671+12:00I am very glad to find your blog for e learning.

Definitely pushed our preconceived notions of what school might look like, but definitely delivered an amazing education. Have a look at the Dennis Littky TEDtalk, he certainly oresents a good case for change :)Claire Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10579894985450127837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044576021219205068.post-34401894678027327982013-04-14T00:02:42.656+12:002013-04-14T00:02:42.656+12:00They were definitely gaining uni and college entra...They were definitely gaining uni and college entrance qualifications. I think (but might be wrong) that high school diplomas are gained by passing set numbers of exams and internal assessments set by each school and that the only national standardised testing is in literacy and numeracy. There may be more state expectations. The assessment was simply more integrated and real world than we might be used to, for instance, they took a personal project and then went through an exercise of overlaying the whole curriculum and learning outcomes and identified where they had met learning goals from every subject area. I watch an advisory do this and it certainly proved that most big action projects easily covered a wide range of subjects and skills. They do also go to specific subject classes as well, but they aren't the central focus.Claire Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10579894985450127837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044576021219205068.post-1283090691821567152013-04-13T23:56:08.395+12:002013-04-13T23:56:08.395+12:00Here's info on assessment http://www.bigpictur...Here's info on assessment http://www.bigpicture.org/2008/10/authentic-assessment/Claire Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10579894985450127837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044576021219205068.post-8774358206460219832013-04-13T14:30:13.831+12:002013-04-13T14:30:13.831+12:00What sort of external standards/qualifications if ...What sort of external standards/qualifications if any did the students have to meet to graduate?Michalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04130231880471641375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044576021219205068.post-57911400539732967852013-04-13T08:27:28.945+12:002013-04-13T08:27:28.945+12:00It sounds like an exciting 'school'!
