Book Building Shared Responsibility for Student Learning

Download or read book Building Shared Responsibility for Student Learning written by Anne Conzemius and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2001 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is responsible for student learning? Walk into an effective school and ask this question of anyone--a teacher, a student, the principal, a parent volunteer, a secretary--and you'll get the same answer: "I am."Shared responsibility is something school communities build from within. It's what happens when all school people accept that what they do makes a difference in how all students learn . . . when they have the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about the best way to promote learning . . . and when they have the skills and opportunities to translate their ideas into effective action.Anne Conzemius and Jan O'Neill present a practical framework for building shared responsibility within schools and school systems. They identify three critical components:* Focus--The common vision, mission, values, and expectations that provide clarity and lead to new levels of performance.* Reflection--The commitment to test assumptions, learn from data, and adjust practices accordingly. * Collaboration--The process of developing relationships where all work toward the same objectives and rely on each other to achieve their goals.Building shared responsibility for student learning is an ongoing activity--a journey and not a destination. This research-based resource provides a map in the form of effective structures, systems, processes, and policies. It explains how to set powerful goals and shares inspiring stories of educators who have embarked on this journey toward higher professional competency, increased staff satisfaction, rising test scores, and improved student results.

Book Better Learning Through Structured Teaching  A Framework for the Gradual Release of Responsibility

Download or read book Better Learning Through Structured Teaching A Framework for the Gradual Release of Responsibility written by Doug Fisher and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2010-09-10 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better Learning Through Structured Teaching describes how teachers can help students develop stronger learning skills by ensuring that instruction moves from modeling and guided practice (situations where the teacher has most of the responsibility) to collaborative learning and, finally, to independent tasks. You'll find out how to use the four components of this approach to help meet critical challenges, including differentiating instruction and making effective use of class time: 1. Focus Lessons: Establishing the lesson’s purpose and then modeling your own thinking for students.2. Guided Instruction: Working with small groups of students who have similar results on performance assessments. 3. Collaborative Learning: Enabling students to discuss and negotiate with one another to create independent work, not simply one project. 4. Independent Tasks: Requiring students to use their previous knowledge to create new and authentic products. The authors explore each component using student dialogues and examples from a variety of disciplines and grade levels. They provide tips and tools for successfully implementing this instructional approach in your own classroom, including checklists for classroom setup and routines, critical questions, real-world lesson plans, and more. No matter what grade level you teach, Better Learning Through Structured Teaching is your essential guide to helping students develop and expand their capacity for authentic and long-lasting learning.

Book excerpt: THE FIRST PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR OPERATIONALIZING RESPONSIBLE AI ̃FROM MUL TI°LEVEL GOVERNANCE MECHANISMS TO CONCRETE DESIGN PATTERNS AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES. AI is solving real-world challenges and transforming industries. Yet, there are serious concerns about its ability to behave and make decisions in a responsible way. Operationalizing responsible AI is about providing concrete guidelines to a wide range of decisionmakers and technologists on how to govern, design, and build responsible AI systems. These include governance mechanisms at the industry, organizational, and team level; software engineering best practices; architecture styles and design patterns; system-level techniques connecting code with data and models; and trade-offs in design decisions. Responsible AI includes a set of practices that technologists (for example, technology-conversant decision-makers, software developers, and AI practitioners) can undertake to ensure the AI systems they develop or adopt are trustworthy throughout the entire lifecycle and can be trusted by those who use them. The book offers guidelines and best practices not just for the AI part of a system, but also for the much larger software infrastructure that typically wraps around the AI. First book of its kind to cover the topic of operationalizing responsible AI from the perspective of the entire software development life cycle. Concrete and actionable guidelines throughout the lifecycle of AI systems, including governance mechanisms, process best practices, design patterns, and system engineering techniques. Authors are leading experts in the areas of responsible technology, AI engineering, and software engineering. Reduce the risks of AI adoption, accelerate AI adoption in responsible ways, and translate ethical principles into products, consultancy, and policy impact to support the AI industry. Online repository of patterns, techniques, examples, and playbooks kept up-to-date by the authors. Real world case studies to demonstrate responsible AI in practice. Chart the course to responsible AI excellence, from governance to design, with actionable insights and engineering prowess found in this defi nitive guide.

It encourages social entrepreneurs in their role as forerunners, in creating new business models that develop, facilitate or implement constructive solutions to social, cultural and environmental issues.

By linking these two concepts, this book prompts a paradigmatic awakening, whereby the foundational driver of business creation and management no longer rests on profit maximization, but on improvement of the quality of life for society.
