Today’s students live in a hyper-connected world,

except in school OR

are they also connected in school but we just don’t know it?

Information is everywhere. In this changing world, sense-making and

the ability to evaluate the credibility of information are paramount.

State TestCreate a large spinner for a game that has at least eight sectors. Each sector should be assigned a different ‘prize’. Prizes should range in value from most appealing to least appealing.

Vary the sectors so that the probability to win a desired prize is much less that the probability to win a lesser desired prize. Calculate the theoretical probability of landing on each prize.

Conduct multiple trials with the spinner and determine the experimental probability of landing on each prize. Which price has the greatest probability and which prize has the least probability?

Innovation that happens from the top down tends to be orderly, but dumb.

Innovation that happens from the bottom up tends to be chaotic

and smart.

Practical strategies to support school and district leaders:•Supporting teachers in changing instruction to meet the requirements of the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Assessments •Approaching evaluation from the broader perspective of selection, support, and evaluation of all educators •Providing meaningful Teacher Evaluations even with limited time and resources
