1. “Active rather than passive learning; 2. An emphasis on deep learning and understanding; 3. Increased responsibility and accountability on the part
of the student;4. An increased sense of autonomy in the learner;
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
SCL: 9 Principles
6. Students have different experiences and background knowledge.
7. Students should have control over their learning. (courses, curricula, evaluation)

SIMULATIONS: A NOTE ABOUT ASSESSMENT
• “If assessing learning based on game outcomes, depending on the game design, game results may or may not indicate that significant learning has occurred. (For example, even if a student ‘loses’ in a simulation, it might not mean that s/he did not learn; and alternatively, a student who faired well may have learned alternative strategies unrelated to intended learning objectives.”

“To perform a successful presentation the student must understand the subject matter, the psychology of the planned audience, different presentation strategies, and how to organize the information in the most efficient and effective manner Presentation formats range from simply talking in front of the class to designing complex interactive computer-based information systems to be delivered through the Internet”

CLASSROOM SET-UP TIPS
Make your crowded classroom feel bigger by:
Use tables instead of desks Use chair pockets for storage Make inexpensive cubbies using removable hooks and plastic milk crates Leave one wall completely blank. Your students are as overwhelmed by all the
bodies in the room as you are Outline the borders of chalkboards and whiteboards with twinkle lights. When the
class gets too noisy, turn off the main lights, and turn on the twinkling lights. The students will quiet down
Use area rugs. They cut down noise and define tight spaces Think of your room in levels. Use the space above the students as well as under
