Students Owning Their Learning: A Tale of 2 Schools

By Cathie Norris, Elliot Soloway; THE Journal


Here’s how to increase student learning: Increase student ownership of that learning: “… the most successful students are those who feel real ‘ownership’ of their education. In all the best performing school systems … ’students feel they personally can make a difference in their own outcomes and that education will make a difference for their future.’” (Quote from Thomas Freidman 2013, who is quoting Andreas Schleicher.) Schleicher manages the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) which compares “how well 15-year-olds in 65 cities and countries can apply math, science and reading skills to solve real-world problems” and his observation about student ownership is based on the results of the 2012 PISA findings.
