The Bottom Line

• The challenge for administrators is to develop
  motivated teachers who are actively engaged in
  teaching and learning, open to new ideas and
  approaches, and committed to students and who
  change over the lifetime of their teaching
  careers.
• Miskel Hoy, 2005, 7th edition

Knowledge Work

• Giving and receiving instruction is preparation
  for knowledge work. Knowledge work begins when
  the student does something with the information
  received and in the process makes the information
  his or her own. (Schlechty, 77)
• Some teachers treat all objectives as recall

Technology will not have a significant impact on
student learning until teachers change the way
they teach.Larry Cuban, 1986
