It is not just authentic it's real!!
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write,
but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.

Five Culturally Responsive Teaching Strategies
"Over the past few decades, students, their experiences, upbringings, and backgrounds have changed. Classrooms now reflect families of varying races, cultures, and socioeconomic statuses. As a result, the way teachers educate these students must change, too, says Cherese Childers-McKee, assistant teaching professor in Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies. One of these shifting approaches to education is known as culturally responsive teaching.
Below, we explore the concept of culturally responsive teaching, compare it against traditional teaching models, and offer a number of strategies that you can use to incorporate the approach into your own methods." by: | July 31, 2020

Marzano's 9 Strategies
Researched Based Strategies To Use Every Day
This is the best framework of researched based strategies I have seen in 40 years.
This chart tells you what the strategy is, why we use it, and what it looks like in the classroom.
This is a must have chart you use in your planning every day.
Plus it tells us the percentage of the retention of knowledge that is retained by the students
over the classes that do not use it.

THE 7 ESSENTIAL PRINCIPALS of INNOVATIVE LEARNING
7 PRINCIPALS:
1. Learners have to be at the center of what happens in the classroom.
2. Learning is a social practice and can’t happen alone.
3. Emotions are an integral part of learning.
4. Learners are different.
5. Students need to be stretched, but not too much.
6. Assessment should be for learning, not of learning.
7. Learning needs to be connected across disciplines and reach out into the real world.
Check out this informative article.
It has excellent ideas to reflect on and to make part of your professional practice.

Regardless of how engaging an instructor is, deep learning does not occur when students passively listen to lectures.
The development of deep understanding cannot occur if there isn’t an appropriate level of cognitive challenge that requires learners to engage in the application, analysis, synthesis, or evaluation of information (Paulsen & McCormick, 2020).
In contrast to passive, lecture-based learning, students are often more engaged in active learning tasks that require them to partake in cognitively challenging, problem-based learning (Collaço, 2017).
For deep learning to occur, instructors must include an appropriate level of cognitive challenge in their courses.
Indicators of deep learning and cognitive engagement can include asking questions for clarification of ideas, persistence in difficult activities, flexibility in problem-solving, and the use of learning strategies that connect new ideas to existing information (Collaço, 2017). Aligned with the NSSE survey, the inclusion of the following tasks in online courses will serve to facilitate cognitive engagement:
- Learn something that changed their understanding of an issue or concept
- Connect ideas from your course to their prior experiences and knowledge
- Apply facts, theories, or methods to practical problems or new situations
- Analyze an idea, experience, or line of reasoning in depth by examining its parts
- Evaluate a point of view, decision, or information source
- Form a new idea or understanding from various pieces of information
- Reach conclusions based on their analysis of numerical information (numbers, graphs,
- Analyze an idea, experience, or line of reasoning in depth by examining its parts

- Form a new idea or understanding from various pieces of information
- Reach conclusions based on their analysis of numerical information (numbers, graphs,
statistics, etc.)
- Use numerical information to examine a real-world problem or issue (unemployment,
- Use numerical information to examine a real-world problem or issue (unemployment,
climate change, public health, etc.)
- Think critically and analytically
- Analyze numerical and statistical information
- Solve complex real-world problems
- Be an informed and active citizen
- Analyze numerical and statistical information
- Solve complex real-world problems
- Be an informed and active citizen
- Acquire job or work-related knowledge and skills
In their review of how technology could be used successfully in conjunction with the seven principles of good undergraduate teaching, Chickering & Ehrmann (1996) remarked that learning online could be used to promote the application of learning to real-life situations and problem-solving. The promise of using technology to engage students has greatly increased since this statement was made.
The public nature of most social media resources like Twitter, Reddit, and Wikipedia can be used to support the application of facts, theories, or methods to practical problems or new situations, evaluate a point of view, decision, or information source, and form new ideas or understanding from various pieces of information.
Governmental open data portals, the GitHub Open Data site or other scientific data sharing repositories like the ones recommended by the journal Nature can challenge students to think critically and analytically as they analyze numerical and statistical information in the pursuit of solving complex real-world problems, acquire work-related knowledge and skills as they become informed and active citizens.
Authentic learning opportunities, such as these, can stimulate intrinsic motivation and encourage students to focus on learning rather than grades. Intrinsically motivated students prefer a challenge and are more likely to persist when faced with difficulty (Fredricks, Blumenfeld, and Paris, 2004).
