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.

五大趋势

2020年学校需要应对的5个最重要的趋势，将为教与学创新和取得非凡的学生成绩铺平道路。

1.学习者即创造者

学生毕业前就可以改变世界，这一思潮正激励着学校吸纳现实世界的学习经验，从而促进学生提出新思想和解决方案。

2.数据驱动实践创新

随着越来越多的学生参与度、成绩以及其他类型的数据被收集，学校利用这些数据来做出有关课程、就业、教与学以及技术投资的决策。学校领导者越来越多地使用可视化数据来查看学术和运营成果。

3.个性化发展

就像消费领域爆炸式地利用新技术去迎合用户需求、依据用户数据推荐产品一样，学校也在寻找为个性化学习提供支持的方法。个性化学习是指学习者自主选择所有层面的学习，包括但不限于主题、进度、策略和知识、技能的表现方式。

4.社会情感学习

学校正在努力将同情心、勇气、毅力、灵活性和适应性纳入课程之中，这些可以说是塑造学生世界观和团结协作、解决问题和公民责任等意识的先决条件。此外，强调社会情感学习经验有助于构建学生性格和身份，鼓励创造性和社会冒险精神。

5.领导者人力资源能力建设

当领导者采取行动以加强学校的专业共同体时，就为教育工作者和所有基础教育专业人士提供了学习和掌握新技能的机会。无论其职称或职级如何，这一举措都颇具战略眼光，为创新实践打开了大门，而且可以增强学生的体验。

聚焦两大趋势

1.数据驱动实践创新

数据驱动实践创新包括但不仅限于数据驱动决策。数据可以指导教育者极大地改善教与学以促进学生的成功，指导教育管理并促进创新。在美国，学校、地区、州和联邦政府收集学生的数据，从而了解教与学、指导资源分配、评估成果，并向公众提供信息。

数据可用于跟踪学生的学习进度并区分哪些学生在学习上遇到了困难。数据还可以将重点从内容转移到学生的理解、技能发展和学习应用上，并使学生能够评估和管理自己的学习进度。

除了教与学之外，数据驱动实践创新还可以协助教育管理，支持学习系统。数据可以帮助降低决策风险，支持教育中的安全、保障工作并预防威胁。

2.社会情感学习

社会情感学习（简称SEL）被广泛认为对学生至关重要。理解和管理情绪可以帮助学生在学校取得成功，“根据学生在校期间SEL能力的发展情况，能预测出其未来的各种成就，例如接受高等教育程度、事业的成功度、公民参与度和个人幸福感”。社会情感学习的策略、实施和成果是教育研究人员和从业人员当前关注的重点，也是实现联合国可持续发展目标4.7（教育：可持续发展和全球公民权）的重要主题。

咨询委员会确定了利用社交情感学习，在认同和交流、资源和实施以及学术整合上的一些细微差别和挑战。他们的见解，与学术文献中阐述的社会情感学习应用面临的障碍和挑战产生了共鸣。

培养教育者、父母和社区成员的理解和认同，对社会情感学习方案能否成功至关重要。为了推动社会情感学习的应用，咨询委员会给学校和教师提出建议：找出能支持学生的工具和应用程序;忽视学科限制，将社会情感学习活动纳入在校课程;共享资源和社会情感学习整合案例;投资专业发展;加强社会情感学习整合。
