Amanda, Brittany, Angie Might you discuss in small groups the essence of Anyon’s article, particularly as it pertains to (a) Working Class Schools, (b) Middle-Class Schools, (c) Affluent Professional Schools, and (d) Executive Elite Schools? Might you work in small groups to identify from the content of the article what you might use as a principal to guide instruction and learning in your school? Working Class School: · Procedures are mechanical in that they are rote · Minimalize prior connections · Students are not provided reasons for their learning · Teacher prepared and selected materials · Students do not have choice or freedom to make decisions Middle Class School: · Some choice provided to students · Independent answer retrieval · Answer to questions are found by using text books or listening to instructor · Strict criteria for obtaining correct answers Continue to push for student independence by way of provided resources. Minimalizing the use of directed instruction, fostering independence, and continuing to set high expectations for all students. Affluent Professional School: · Creativity · Continuously pressed to express new ideas and concepts · Not having direct orders to the students · Having the students use their own thought process with some guidance from the teacher Executive Elite School · Independence · Schoolwork helps the students be prepared for life · Having the students reason their problems · Less emphasis on the right answer, more emphasis on learning -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
