Hey Jim-<br />
sorry for not replying back on this sooner. For my ideas on identifying your passion, i would say have them think about the things that they like. do they have a favorite type of music, book, or movie that they are drawn to over and over? what draws you to these things? etc. etc. I also found this great set of questions that I heard on a podcast from Cheryl Richardson (she has written several books on finding your passion for adults).

Hey Jim-<br />
sorry for not replying back on this sooner. For my ideas on identifying your passion, i would say have them think about the things that they like. do they have a favorite type of music, book, or movie that they are drawn to over and over? what draws you to these things? etc. etc. I also found this great set of questions that I heard on a podcast from Cheryl Richardson (she has written several books on finding your passion for adults). Maybe start here? Not all apply but you get the gist of it.<br />
<br />
Find out your Passion, top tips:<br />
<br />
1. if you could only have one section of a bookstore that you could visit, which one would it be?<br />
<br />
2. when you pick up a newspaper or magazine, what kinds of stories are you drawn to first?<br />
<br />
3. which catalogs do you have a really hard time letting go of? how come? what in those catalogs do you feel most drawn to?<br />
<br />
4. name the first 3 books that come to mind that strike you as your favorite books<br />
<br />
5. name your 3 favorite movies (first ones that come to mind)<br />
<br />
6. who do you envy? who in your life do you envy or feel jealous of? why? what is it about them that you envy?<br />
<br />
7. who's life would you love to have? could be someone you know or don't know<br />
<br />
8. if you were allowed to make one powerful, positive change in the world, what would it be?<br />
<br />
9. what interests, hobbies, or careers, would you like to see your kids go into?<br />
<br />
10. recall one time during the past week that you felt strongly about something.<br />
<br />
as you look at the answers, do you notice any themes or patterns? common interests? circle the things that have to do with each other? this should start to cover what things you need to pay more attention to or explore further.

Yes, unfortunately I think you may be correct. PLCs are abstract and take time... way too much time for what is being allotted. Thank you for the feedback.

I just finished the book myself and found that chapter very interesting. I wonder though, just giving more time in itself was a factor, but it seems the KIPP school changed the culture as well. I've become more aware of when Gladwell speaks of the agricultural society where we work hard then take long rests. I see so much of that in school environment. This is definitely not an easy fix.

I want to come back and comment more about this when I have a few more minutes...but my initial thoughts are, move module 3: Internet Safety to your first module. I agree with Sylvia, that online research is important and should have a bigger role and move up earlier in your scheduling, but if kids are going to do any kind of work on the internet, they need to know how to safely do it first. But make it fun-maybe a webquest could be involved.<br />

Then move onto online research and maybe do PLC's after that or as one of your last modules. I think it's an interesting idea to teach students-although this definitely has given me ideas for how to teach this with teachers too! Honestly, I'd skip it.

Honestly, I'd skip it. It's just the latest buzzword and your instincts questioning this are good. What are the kids going to learn, really? It's not enough time, as you point out, and I think it's even worse as an opening module, too abstract.<br />
<br />
I'd start with online research since that can be built on for all the other modules and include time at the end for kids to do some culminating projects that draw from the modules.<br />

<br />
If you start with online research, you can do a little bit on finding networks and forums that touch on the same content as PLN would. Then it fits in a context and is something that they can use in upcoming modules.

The chapter about <a href="http://www.kipp.org/">KIPP</a> is right after the <i>Rice Paddies and Math Tests</i> chapter! Search the internet, I bet there is tons of stuff.
