Shall we admit the stranger? Not wisely unless two preliminary questions have first been answered in the affirmative: First, is there behind the proposed term and waiting even now to be christened a valid notion or concept which promises to render appreciable service in educational thinking? Second, if we grant the foregoing, does the term “project” fitly designate the waiting concept? Because the question as to the concept and its worth is so much more significant than any matter of mere names, this discussion will deal almost exclusively with the first of the two inquiries. It is indeed entirely possible that some other term, as “purposeful act,” for example, would call attention to a more important element in the concept, and, if so, might prove superior as a term to the word “project.” At the outset it is probably wise to caution the reader against expecting any great amount of novelty in the idea here presented. The metaphor of christening is not to be taken too seriously; the concept to be considered is not in fact newly born. Not a few readers will be disappointed that after all so little new is presented. A little of the personal may perhaps serve to introduce the more formal discussion. In attacking with successive classes in educational theory the problem of method, I had felt increasingly the need of unifying more completely a number of important related aspects of the educative process. I began to hope for some one concept which might serve this end. Such a concept, if found, must, so I thought, emphasize the factor of action, preferably wholehearted vigorous activity. It must at the same time provide a place for the adequate utilization of the laws of learning, and no less for the essential elements or","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"136 - 149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/708360","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42733446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case study describes a professional collaboration in which a strong, experienced teacher leader is able to learn something truly new, which enables her in turn to move persistently struggling students forward and to share the process by which she did so with her colleagues. Analysis reveals three categories of facilitator moves that were critical in prompting the transformation and that may be transferable to varied settings: adherence to precise purposes and goals; focusing and drilling down; and letting go. This study offers a preliminary framework of effective facilitator moves (those that shift teacher thinking and practice in ways that measurably and continuously improve student performance) for further research.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"43 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/708355","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49501880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors explore the tensions between students’ purposes and teachers’ guidance that arise during collaborative projects that are chosen by students. They conclude that no set procedure could suffice to direct the work of teachers attempting the project method. Rather, the method calls on teachers to respond sensitively to students’ needs in the moment, reflect on the processes and products of project learning, and hold space for students to co-construct the school curriculum.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"9 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/708353","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44605226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article focuses on the design and implementation of gamified leveling-up systems that promote greater student motivation. A previous qualitative study was conducted in which 15 high school teachers were interviewed to discover their perceptions on their use of gamification methods in their curricula. Among all teacher participants, five of them specifically utilized leveling-up systems. I conducted a secondary analysis of a larger qualitative study on the implementation of secondary school educators’ use of gamification methods. Some examples of gamified leveling-up frameworks include the use of additional associated applications such as thematic instruction, incentivized point systems, badging, and leaderboards. Results of this secondary analysis helped me identify and define three different models of gamified frameworks.","PeriodicalId":41440,"journal":{"name":"Schools-Studies in Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"115 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/708359","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47029365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They looked at interactions that arose spontaneously in the classroom, from younger children’s comments about skin color to racially tinged remarks in the older classes. Faculty members, who all identify as white, became aware of their own wish to avoid these conversations, since many of them had not looked at their own relationships to being white in a racialized culture. By talking and supporting one another and by learning more about the effects of systemic racism, the teachers became more comfortable and could talk about race in meaningful ways with their students. Each teacher chose one situation involving race, looked at what made her uncomfortable, and worked to address the issues at a deeper level.
