The Role of a Teacher
Drive student achievement
Design
Plan
curriculum
lessons
Motivate
students
Classroom
Work
management
with others
Assessment
& Grading
Challenges
Not all teachers are curriculum developers
Scaffolding
content
Aligning to the standards
Making it engaging
Articulating a scope and sequence
Embedding formative assessment
Time to develop
Challenges
Lesson Plans
Not
based on student performance
Compliance focus
Motivating Students & Classroom Management
Keeping
students entertained, feeling successful,
but adequately challenged
Keeping students engaged and on task
Students want to talk to each other
Challenges
Working with Others (Teachers,
Administrators, & Parents)
Common
Planning Time
Common curriculum, but different scope and
sequence
Administrators get lesson plans, not lessons
Parents and students at home don’t have access
to the lessons
Student collaboration
Challenges
Working with Others (Teachers,

Common
Planning Time
Common curriculum, but different scope and
sequence

Student collaboration
Challenges
Assessment & Grading
Difficult
to get daily data on each student
Matching the rigor or EOC tests
School grading schemas don’t correlate to EOC
performance
Who is doing the homework?
Progressive Science Initiative (PSI) &
Progressive Mathematics Initiative (PMI)
PSI developed to teach HS science
PSI then used to create HS science teachers
PMI uses PSI Methods to teach K-12 math
PMI will be used to create K-12 math teachers
Progressive Science Initiative (PSI) &
Progressive Mathematics Initiative (PMI)
•
Developed in 1 NJ school: 1999 - present
•
Extended to 50+ NJ schools: 2007 – present
•
Extended to Argentina: 2010 - present
•
Extending to RI and CO: 2011
Teacher Training: New Jersey

•
70 new physics teachers
•
25 new chemistry teachers
And trained in PSI-PMI Methods about
•
200 currently certified math and science
teachers
Teacher Training: New Jersey
Those teachers taught, or are teaching
•
•
•
•
•
10,000 students Physics
500 students AP Physics B
2500 students Chemistry
150 students AP Chemistry
4000 students mathematics
Teacher Training: Other States
Rhode Island
•
•
•
Pilot started with summer 2011 training of 4
teachers
Should start training new teachers, with local
trainers, in July, 2012
Colorado
•
•
Morgridge Family Foundation supporting
implementations with training and technology
Argentina
2011 Results
•
•
•
•
•
Spanish translations of physics and some math
Created 10 trainers
Created 25 new physics teachers
Trained 75 currently certified chemistry and math
teachers
2012 Plan
•
•
•
Spanish translations of Chemistry, AP Physics B,
and more mathematics
Creating 20 new trainers and training 100 new
teachers
Africa
World Bank Mission to The Gambia in December
•
Proposal to pilot a Train the Trainers model
•
Scalable to all of The Gambia
•
Then, the African Union (600,000 schools)

and can do – Tests, quizzes and labs
Retakes for all assessments
Grades are not subjective

Common Core Mathematics
Common Core adopted by 47 states
Current textbooks are not aligned to Common
Core; they need to be replaced
But, textbooks themselves are becoming
obsolete; districts don’t want to buy new ones
Free, highly effective, Common Core aligned
course materials are critically important

PSI-PMI Paradigm Shift
Arthur Levine, president of the Woodrow
Wilson National Fellowship Foundation,
describes PSI-PMI in these words:
“There is a shift from teaching to learning,
from working alone to collaboration, from
passive to active learning, from analog to
digital, from teaching a class to sharing
authority for educating all the kids at a
school, or beyond.”
PSI-PMI Paradigm Shift
For what world are we preparing our students?
Isolated work:
factual recall;
sitting quietly;
transcribing;
accepting
PSI-PMI Paradigm Shift
For what world are we preparing our students?
Collaborative work:
critical thinking;
problem solving;
talking;
debating
questioning
PSI-PMI Paradigm Shift
Digital technology has enabled a new
paradigm for teaching and learning
There’s no reason to build a new system
with the old paradigm.
Build with the new paradigm
Reducing Stress &
Improving Achievement
Curriculum Development
Framework
is already designed
Aligned to standards
Designed and vetted by teachers
Content is scaffolded
Embeds pedagogy, including formative
assessment
Reducing Stress &
Improving Achievement
Lesson Planning
No
more lesson plans; share the actual lessons
and pacing guides with administrators
Formative
If
If
assessment dictates pace
students understand- go faster, cover more
students didn’t understand – reteach, review, try
another problem
Reducing Stress &
Improving Achievement
Motivating Students & Classroom
Management
Students
feel successful by teaching small
chunks
Mastery learning eliminates high stakes testing
Teaching is fast paced
Instruction mimics student life
Reducing Stress &
Improving Achievement
Work with others (teachers, administrators,
parents)
Teachers
can share notebooks electronically
Curriculum articulates scope and sequence
Administrators get lessons not lesson plans
Parents and students at home have access to the
lessons
Student collaboration enabled and encouraged
Reducing Stress &
Improving Achievement
Assessment & Grading
Daily
formative assessment
Matches the rigor or EOC tests
Grading practices correlate with EOC
performance
No longer grading homework- students do
homework to learn, not compliance
