Music as a Choice Option for Demonstrating Mastery (Ep. 04)
Manage episode 263998777 series 1947518
Join Allison Pontious and I as we discuss some of the professional development opportunities, technology, and personalized choice options Alli gleaned from her time at the PBS Lead Innovators Summit over the 2017 summer.
As you listen...
Consider potential opportunities for personalization by creating opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding of a (any) concept through music.
Note how the challenge posed by a new learning context/opportunity forced Alli to grow as a learner and innovator. How might these practices be replicated in your classroom?
Reflect on Bray and McClasky's work that identifies the three stages of a personalized learning environment and consider how they pertain to learners having a choice in the way in which they demonstrate their mastery of content and skills.
