CLASSROOM STRATEGIES CASE STUDY: THE "STOP DOING" LIST
"Karen wanted help with getting better at planning rigorous instruction but I knew that she was so overwhelmed that she wouldn’t get very far and would only end up more frustrated than before. She was doing too much, working too hard and needed to free up some space in her day before she could focus on developing rigorous lesson plans. So, rather than give her an easier way to plan rigorous lessons, I suggested that we create a 'stop doing' list.

12 THINGS THAT WILL DISAPPEAR FROM CLASSROOMS IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS
From Alisa:
Blog post by Terry Heick:12 Things That Will Disappear From Classrooms In The Next 12 Years
“The classroom is changing because the world is changing.That may not be as true as we’d like it to be–the pace of the change in education lags awkwardly behind what we see in the consumer markets. It could be argued that there’s been more innovation in churches and taxis than there’s been in libraries and schools, which is a special kind of crazy, but logical: “fields” that are dependent on consumer habits are far more vulnerable to disruption. Education, being more or less perma-funded by governments and misunderstood by the public, is more built to resist change.”
