Top 5 Accelerators

Top 5 most important Accelerators for schools to address in 2020 in order to pave the way for teaching and learning innovation and extraordinary student outcomes.

1.Learners as Creators

The idea that students dont have to wait to graduate to change the world is motivating schools to embrace real-world learning experiences that promote student-generated ideas and solutions.

2.Data-Driven Practices

With more student engagement/performance and other kinds of data being collected， schools are leveraging that data to make decisions about curriculum， hiring， teaching and learning， and technology investments. Increasingly， school leaders are using data visualization to view academic and operational outcomes.

3.Personalization

As the consumer sector has exploded with new ways to customize user experiences and products， schools are finding ways to provide learning support at the individual level. Personalized learning is when all aspects of learning are chosen by the learner， including but not limited to topic， pace， strategy， and presentation of knowledge/skills.

4.Social and Emotional Learning

Schools are working to build empathy， grit， persistence， flexibility， and adaptability into curriculum， which arguably shapes worldviews and students penchant for successful collaboration， problem-solving， and civic responsibility. Further， learning experiences that help build students character and identity， encourage creative and social risk-taking are being emphasized.

5.Building the Human Capacity of Leaders

When leaders take actions to strengthen the professional community of their schools， providing opportunities for educators and all K-12 professionals to learn and master new skills—regardless of title or rank—it leads with a strategic vision and opens the door to the innovative practices that can enhance student experiences.

SPOTLIGHTING TWO ACCELERATORS

1.Data-Driven Practices

Data-Driven Practices include， but are not limited to， data-driven decision making. Data can guide educators to dramatically improve teaching and learning for student success， direct education administration， and enable innovation. In the U.S. student data is collected by schools， districts， states， and federal government to inform teaching & learning， direct resource allocation， assess outcomes， and inform the public.

Data can be used to track student progress and identify students who are struggling. Data can also shift the focus from content to student understanding， skill development， and learning application， and enable students to assess and direct their learning progress.

Beyond teaching and learning， data-driven practices can assist with education administration and systems that surround learning. Data can help reduce decision-making risks and support safety， security， and threat prevention in education.

2.Social and Emotional Learning

Social Emotional Learning （SEL） is widely considered to be essential for students. Understanding and managing emotions help students succeed at school and “the development of SEL competencies while students are in school predicts a variety of later outcomes， such as participation in postsecondary education， success in the workforce， civic engagement， and personal well-being.” SEL strategies， implementation， and outcomes are a major current focus for education researchers and practitioners， as well as an important topic for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #4.7： Education： Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship.

The Advisory Board identified several nuances and challenges for leveraging Social Emotional Learning， including buy-in and communication， resources and implementation， and academic integration. Their insights resonate with academic literature related to barriers and challenges of SEL adoption.

Developing understanding and buy-in from educators， parents， and community members is critical to the success of Social Emotional Learning initiatives. To drive SEL adoption， the Advisory Board also recommends that schools and teachers： identify tools and apps that can support students; incorporate SEL activities into the school day， regardless of subject; share resources and examples for SEL integration; and invest in professional development; Integrate SEL.

五大趨勢

2020年學校需要應對的5個最重要的趨勢，將為教與學創新和取得非凡的學生成績鋪平道路。

1.學習者即創造者

學生畢業前就可以改變世界，這一思潮正激勵著學校吸納現實世界的學習經驗，從而促進學生提出新思想和解決方案。

2.數據驅動實踐創新

隨著越來越多的學生參與度、成績以及其他類型的數據被收集，學校利用這些數據來做出有關課程、就業、教與學以及技術投資的決策。學校領導者越來越多地使用可視化數據來查看學術和運營成果。

3.個性化發展

就像消費領域爆炸式地利用新技術去迎合用戶需求、依據用戶數據推薦產品一樣，學校也在尋找為個性化學習提供支持的方法。個性化學習是指學習者自主選擇所有層面的學習，包括但不限于主題、進度、策略和知識、技能的表現方式。

4.社會情感學習

學校正在努力將同情心、勇氣、毅力、靈活性和適應性納入課程之中，這些可以說是塑造學生世界觀和團結協作、解決問題和公民責任等意識的先決條件。此外，強調社會情感學習經驗有助于構建學生性格和身份，鼓勵創造性和社會冒險精神。

5.領導者人力資源能力建設

當領導者采取行動以加強學校的專業共同體時，就為教育工作者和所有基礎教育專業人士提供了學習和掌握新技能的機會。無論其職稱或職級如何，這一舉措都頗具戰略眼光，為創新實踐打開了大門，而且可以增強學生的體驗。

聚焦兩大趨勢

1.數據驅動實踐創新

數據驅動實踐創新包括但不僅限于數據驅動決策。數據可以指導教育者極大地改善教與學以促進學生的成功，指導教育管理并促進創新。在美國，學校、地區、州和聯邦政府收集學生的數據，從而了解教與學、指導資源分配、評估成果，并向公眾提供信息。

數據可用于跟蹤學生的學習進度并區分哪些學生在學習上遇到了困難。數據還可以將重點從內容轉移到學生的理解、技能發展和學習應用上，并使學生能夠評估和管理自己的學習進度。

除了教與學之外，數據驅動實踐創新還可以協助教育管理，支持學習系統。數據可以幫助降低決策風險，支持教育中的安全、保障工作并預防威脅。

2.社會情感學習

社會情感學習（簡稱SEL）被廣泛認為對學生至關重要。理解和管理情緒可以幫助學生在學校取得成功，“根據學生在校期間SEL能力的發展情況，能預測出其未來的各種成就，例如接受高等教育程度、事業的成功度、公民參與度和個人幸福感”。社會情感學習的策略、實施和成果是教育研究人員和從業人員當前關注的重點，也是實現聯合國可持續發展目標4.7（教育：可持續發展和全球公民權）的重要主題。

咨詢委員會確定了利用社交情感學習，在認同和交流、資源和實施以及學術整合上的一些細微差別和挑戰。他們的見解，與學術文獻中闡述的社會情感學習應用面臨的障礙和挑戰產生了共鳴。

培養教育者、父母和社區成員的理解和認同，對社會情感學習方案能否成功至關重要。為了推動社會情感學習的應用，咨詢委員會給學校和教師提出建議：找出能支持學生的工具和應用程序;忽視學科限制，將社會情感學習活動納入在校課程;共享資源和社會情感學習整合案例;投資專業發展;加強社會情感學習整合。
