1. Ron Clark's 55 Rules 2. Fenwick English's Work 3. TEKS structural components and organization 4. Modifying Curriculum for students with Special Needs
I found Ron Clark's 55 Rules very interesting and it was new to me. I already try to live everyday so I do not have any regrets, so it fit me. I actually went and looked up somemore of the Rules during the 40 minutes just to see what they were.
1. Character Education 2. Core Learning 3. Concept-Based Curriculum 4. Ron Clark's 55 Rules
Character Education is the first one for me because being able to teach students the ways to act and to have manners will continue with them throughout life. The six pillars to character program are things that need to be taught and understood to be able to grow up.
1. GT and talented students curriculum development I think that in a regular classroom the GT students are sometimes not challenged, so it is good to see the research and methods to address these students in class. I want and need to know how to deal with exceptional students.
2. Core classes The students being taught to be involved learners, so they can use their higher order thinking skills.
3. Ron Clark's 55 rules. I think this is a necessity for teachers trying to set standards of behavior and learning in their classes. I like the challenge of rule # 51!
4. Inclusion teaching/learning I believe that special education students should be included in the regular teaching environment,so they can be challenged to learn, and also have the opportunity to socialize with more of the school population. It also connects with Marzano's similarities/differences method of education.
1.Fenwick English Work I have never heard of this work. I'm interested to know more about the framework and the implementation of these ideas. I liked Joel's application of presenting multiple views of topics that could also be challenging in choosing which views to present. 2.Character Education 3. Ron clark's 55 Rules 4.

wade 1. Joel's Fenwick English's work: Postmodernist consideration of a 'multiplicity of possibilities'....challenging the status quo / risk-taking, compelling thought #4 - mental self-control (a tough task). Hmm. Divergent thinking, self-regulation, and global thinking? 'Savory sauce,' says the goofy Chess teach. 2. Jason's Ron Clark's 55: yessir, jump on desks! just don't break the kids. 3. Jason's GT Curriculum: how to 'adequately challenge'...?! 4. Catherine's Concept-Based Curriculum: I'm going to properly use "synergistic interplay" tomorrow.

#1: Concept-Based Curriculum by Catherine Gregory - I have had the KUD model drilled into my head since day 1 of education for becoming an educator, but now I finally understand why. Synergistic interplay is more than just a nifty combination of words; it explains the meaning behind the model in that we are teaching students how to process factual knowledge using a conceptual framework of understanding. I also like the ideal of all of our core disciplines aligning with each other in curriculum design.
1)Ron Clark's 55 rules was very significant learning for me. The power point was so interesting I watched a couple of his videos on youtube. Clark is my #1 because I want my classroom to be full of innovation and creativity like his. He really gets kids in his school to think out of the box by his pssion in the classroom. Clark makes a good point that he wants to create good individuals in school and outside of school. He takes making learning happen to another level. 2)Fenwick English's work which was focused on postmodernism was good information as well. It is very important that as teachers or even coaches we accept new world views for education. I am always looking for new information for baseball to better myself as a coach and have the best information possible for my players. As a teacher in the classroom we have to be very open minded to new ways of learning for our students and ourselves. 3) Character education is one of the most important things about being a teacher. It is a great opportunity to have a chance to help students grow into good positively developed people. I talk about character every day to my players and how I am not just trying to make them better ball players but better people. 4)Special education's role in our school system is very important. I like the fact that students with these setbacks are allowed in class because i think it benefits both groups of students. It allows students to relate to each other and learn that no everyone is the same and that they can help each other.
@WP: Ah, "postmodernist" is not a word I expected to read this evening. Thanks for making the connection. Thinking now of the possibility of multiple universes (multi-verses).

@NC: An interesting choice, in the context of discussions we had in class last week. Indeed, the Six Pillars are powerful values to try to instill.

@JJ: A very interesting connection you made there in item #4 re Marzano. Bumped my thinker.

@CG: English has made a career of studying the connections between written vs taught vs tested curriculum.
