Understanding Problem-Based Learning with Russell Crawford

if kids don't interact with concrete things, slide things, turn things shake them, or dont construct or create things while learning, two things will happen. 1. The amount of information that moves from temporary to permanent storage will be minimal. 2. The neural pathways needed to form connections with other information they've got stored to enable them build understanding will also be minimal. Learning wont be optimal even if they pass your exam. All of learning design in k-12 pedagogy is geared towards optimizing both these processes. We must go beyond lesson planning to learning designing.

Is professionalising systems practice the ultimate #futureofwork paradox? How do we embed #systemsthinking in institutions that seem designed to repel it? How can we sustainably continue to design contextually-relevant learning systems? How do we spread systemic insight through the mainstream without turning it into just another orthodoxy? https://lnkd.in/eDzhUgnY

🧠 Eleven proven learning principles. One powerful framework. From multitasking myths to the power of spacing and error-driven learning, Module 1 of The Learning Blueprint helps teachers understand why strategies work—and gives them tools to apply the science tomorrow. Three “aha” moments teachers love: • Text + speech → overload • Images + speech → stronger learning • Errors → pathway to success It’s PD that’s practical, evidence-based, and immediately useful. If you lead Teaching & Learning, this is the starting point for PD with real impact.(Full details in the first comment.) Led by Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd, Module 1 turns research into classroom-ready moves. Have questions? Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd can jump into the comments. #TeacherPD #ProfessionalDevelopment #CognitiveScience #TeacherGrowth #ScienceOfLearning #InstructionalCoaching #EdLeadership #K12

If your instructional innovation plan doesn’t improve core instruction—it’s not innovation. Instructional Innovation+ isn’t a buzzword—it’s a system. One that connects emerging technologies, real-world learning, and strong core instruction across every subject. Here’s how it works: ✔️ Prepare for innovation using a flexible framework ✔️ Strengthen core instruction with clarity and purpose ✔️ Integrate literacy and math logically across subjects ✔️ Use project-based learning and AI-literacy to create future-ready classrooms ✔️ Build sustainable, research-informed systems for growth through action research This isn’t theory—it’s a proven model implemented with schools nationwide to make learning more human, rigorous, and future-focused. 📘 Inquire to bring the workshop to your district: https://lnkd.in/eFivxiqP 📖 Order the book via Corwin: https://lnkd.in/eeZhXKq7 #InstructionalInnovationPlus #InstructionalLeadership #AIliteracy #literacy #math #PBLplus #LeadershipDevelopment #ImpactOverHype #JorgeDoesPBL #LifelongLearningDefined

The great lie of modern self-education is that access to infinite information is the same as learning. It is not. The internet is a chaotic market square of facts and fiction. A true education requires a classroom: a curated path, a focused environment, and an expert guide. Stop hoarding information. Start seeking understanding.

If your instructional innovation plan doesn’t improve core instruction—it’s not innovation. Instructional innovation isn’t a buzzword—it’s a system. One that connects emerging technologies, real-world learning, and strong core instruction across every subject. That’s the power of Instructional Innovation+ (II+)—a model built to help educators collectively: ✔️ Create sustainable, research-informed systems for growth ✔️ Strengthen core instruction ✔️ Intentionally integrate literacy and math across the curriculum ✔️ Use high-impact project-based learning to integrate AI-literacy and strengthen career pathways This isn’t theory—it’s a proven model I’ve implemented with schools that uses action research to make learning more human, rigorous, and future-focused. Real progress happens when schools align innovation with teaching that works. That’s what Instructional Innovation+ was built for.

Our educators know that real learning happens when learners can see what they do not yet understand, reflect on their thinking, get feedback, and work with new ideas in a way that sticks. Quick answers from a chatbot can feel useful in the moment, but they rarely lead to lasting knowledge. That’s the idea behind “Learning That Lasts,” a new paper from our Head of Education, Emily Joye. 👉 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eSqWGpFZ

David Kolb's Learning styles are : 1.Converging: Learners using this learning style like to solve problems and enjoy applying learning to practical issues. They excel in practical applications, and technical tasks. 2. Diverging: In this learning style, learners prefer to watch and reflect on what they’ve observed before jumping in. They have strong imaginations and creative abilities. Often focusing on brainstorming, generating ideas and exploring multiple perspectives. 3.Assimilating: This learning style incorporates learners who like using analytical models to explore and prefer concepts and abstract ideas. They excel in creating theoretical models, analyzing information and making logical deductions. 4.Accommodating: Learners using this learning style relish a challenge and using intuition to solve problems. They enjoy hands-on experiences, taking risks and learning through trial and error.
