@waynebj Old era: typewriters, new era: augmented reality for fast learning on the job and elsewhere. My book, School Transformation has many instances of the old and New Era

It helps to think of school as a time of life rather than a place. It leads to self-directed learning.

@edutopia Dewey said, We learn by doing. He later added Reflection deepens learning. I like student-directed learning better than student-centered learning.

Today is the birthday of John Dewey, an early proponent of experiential learning. Rejecting the idea of education as the rote memorization of facts, he argued that learning is interactive and that students should have a role in constructing their own learning.

It's time to start listening to the voices of real San Diego parents, families, and educators when it comes to @BeKindDreamBig's record as superintendent. Please do not send her to @usedgov! #NoMarten ctt.ec/9pe1M+

Stop nomination of Cindy Marten-unqualified!

I’m sending this because of interest in improved education. Reform is not enough. We need School Transformation. In the book, It’s described as the education book of the century, resulting from a sixty-year career with schools. Readers may freely use the content. Wayne Jennings

It’s listening; it’s relationship building, it’s being adaptive; and ultimately, it’s love.

I love this quote from Professor @MilnerHRich. Thanks for sharing @XQAmerica!!

@nathanstrenge @chrisemdin @husslington @tdj6899 @tonyminnieapple @HSRA_MN Extraordinary school. I am pleased to say that I was board chair for years.

I’m late to the #HipHopEd party, but what I have taken in recently from the likes of @chrisemdin, @husslington, and @tdj6899 has been nothing short of magic. S/o to the amazing work of @tonyminnieapple at @HSRA_MN and for welcoming me to the family.

Nothing has promised so much and has been so frustratingly wasteful as the thousands of workshops and conferences that led to no significant change in practice when teachers returned to their classrooms. (Michael Fullan)

High school should be a time of life rather than a place. Examples: Northwest Passage HS; Jennings Community School; High School for Recording Arts; Avalon; MN New Country School; etc

“I wish that charter schools had been available when I was a teacher. Colleagues and I would have started one or joined one in an instant.” Wayne Jennings in School Transformation

Problems: 1 million students dropout, “in-school” dropouts, 60% percentage of HS students disengaged, persistent gaps, job applicants lack basic skills, steep curve of forgetting. Many successful students would profit in an experiential model. From School Transformation.

The gentleman asked, "Do you see horses? Yes sir," said half the class. Upon which the other half, seeing in the teacher's face that “yes” was wrong, cried out in chorus, “No, sir!” Paraphrased from Hard Times (Dickens). Cited in School Transformation.

School reforms peter out after half-hearted, short-term attempts. Reformers limit themselves to tuning up the present design of schooling, and current reforms haven’t panned out. Schools still fail to educate all learners or act on individual difference; they obtain weak results.

“The person who grabs a cat by the tail learns about 44 percent faster than those just watching.” (Mark Twain) quote from School Transformation.
