The Americas Society and Council of the Americas invited me to discuss scalable innovative practices for education with experts and leaders dedicated to advancing and shaping the political, economic, social and cultural agendas of the Western Hemisphere. The purpose was to take what works in New York City and bring it to other education systems.
Here are some ideas I shared that global leaders can bring back to their countries.
1) Online Learning Communities for Education Resources
It is no longer okay for companies to provide teachers with just a product. Today we ask companies whose products we use, like Google, PBS, and Common Sense Media to develop online learning networks comprised of their staff and NYCDOE educators who use the product. Communities on sites like Google, Facebook, and Edmodo allow educators to connect with one another to share ideas, best practices, troubleshoot issues, and more. A member from the NYCDOE and from the company participate in the group to provide appropriate support as needed.
Teachers love it.
Alone, exhausted, and unseen become connected, energized, and recognized.
