The neXt Lesson is a TDCSB framework intended to aid teachers in designing lessons for the 21st century classroom. I believe the neXt Lesson addresses the growing need for a change in the way educators approach the classroom as well as the public perception of education by providing teachers with a foundation from which they can build engaging and relevant lessons for 21st century learners. Here is my understanding of the breakdown of the framework:
The neXt Blog
This is the plan: each day I will record one lesson idea that would hopefully exemplify the neXt Lesson. The purpose of the blog is to help me develop a repertoire of useful lesson ideas that will help me in my future practice in addition to help me contribute to the 21C/AICT team during my internship. At the end of each entry, I will include a list of the competencies that idea encompasses and what level on the continuum it falls under (see below). This will hopefully give me a better understanding of what 21st Century Learning would actually look like in a classroom.
1. Collaboration: entry - adoption - adaptation - infusion - transformation
2. Knowledge Construction: entry - adoption - adaptation - infusion - transformation
3. Real-World Problem Solving & Innovation: entry - adoption - adaptation - infusion - transformation
4. Skilled Communication: entry - adoption - adaptation - infusion - transformation
5. Self-Regulation: entry - adoption - adaptation - infusion - transformation
6. Use of ICT for Learning: entry - adoption - adaptation - infusion - transformation
The idea is that these are lessons I would actually use as a high school teacher so they will most likely be math/science related. They can be ideas for new lessons or old lessons I used during my practica, unit planning at OISE, guitar teaching or tutoring that will be modified to fit the framework. I have no clue if this is at all possible but I'm going to give it a shot. Wish me luck...
