Morning, good afternoon, good night. Um I'm here in Ur is it's the afternoon evening, right? Um and I couldn't be more more enthusiastic to be in here. Really, I I feel I mean I've seen lots of cards. Thank you so much. I love that. All right. Um let's try to get started. The first thing is I really believe that teachers rights are the real influencers. Okay. So we are here because we want to make a change in the world and especially through education. That's why my talk's name is

00:00:43

why should teachers be shapers of culture. So let's see well get started. First of all, we have the agenda. Right? In the agenda, you're going to see what's we are trying to do today in a very quick way. Meanwhile, it's going to drive me bananas. I'm going to use that word because we'll use it and I like it very much. Okay. So, agenda. What's project zero? The formula for quality education. Teachers as shapers of culture. The dispositions. Please consider these words. the eight

00:01:22

forces of culture. Another important words forces and then well we will have an exit ticket. You can see also there that there is a little light bulb light bulb that's a uh thinking time right that means that every time we have that we are going to have a thinking routine a moment to reflect and think and then you will see a lot lot of fish right I love this picture especially right because um is that what we are completely different right and doing our best in the sea human beings differ from

00:01:59

one another and there is absolutely no need to teach and assess all individuals in the identical way. Who said that? Howard Garner? Come on, let's move on. All right, here we are. First of all, what's project zero? Right. Well, project zero, as you could imagine, it is a project, right, delivered by um Harvard University. It started like 50 years ago, right? And well, the the the main ideas were focused on learning, of course, thinking. I mean, we all know that we think, but the problem is in general, we

00:02:44

don't realize that we we are thinking. So we need to um pay attention to our thoughts, ethics, intelligence. Remember that like 50 years ago to be intelligent was completely different to what is to int to be intelligent right now. Okay. And creativity creativity it used to be associated with arts but it's not just that. It's also connected to the way we can solve problems. Let's move on. I have more cards. Lovely. Good. Now, here I want you to start having a look at this mockup. Okay? And

00:03:31

repeat with me. Objective. The objectives are help learners. Come on. Help learners individually. Help learners individually and in community. Reflect. Reflect. Reflection reflection contributed contribution contribution and change the world change the world change the world let's gonna do it again and I know I am telling you this please pay attention again which are the objectives of project zero well come on help learners individually in community help learners reflect on reflection contribution

00:04:11

contribute change in the world in wisdom They leave. Okay, let's see if you really pay attention to all this. I've got another heart. Uhhuh. Here it is. Why? Because we have a light involved. That means that now we have a thinking time, a thinking routine. Now, I'd like you to ask answer, sorry, in the in the in the chat box, how many objectives can you remember? Please can you write them on the chat box? Thank you. Let's see. Let's see. Mhm. I'm looking. Wow. Very good. I have one that written three.

00:04:53

Five. Five of them. Okay. Three. Good. You're very good at this. Ah. Very very very proud of you. Really? Reflect, contribute, change to help learners individual. All right. Okay. Well, you are really really good at doing this. I'm very proud of you. All right. Sorry, but we had to rush because of time and I'm I'm still thinking because there are still many many others there, right? Good. Continue. Next. Okay, this is just an idea and prepared this diagram for myself because I was

00:05:38

kind of confused. Project zero is really big and it's an umbrella term, right? And what it does is include lots of other projects. Just for you to know, in my school, we are working on four of it. Number one, teaching for understanding. Number two, making thinking visible. Number four, cultural thinking, right? And number seven, we are starting to work on it. That is called pedagogy of play. Right. Let's move on. All right. Again, we have the fish. Remember, we are all different, but we

00:06:12

are doing our best. Okay. Now, here is the question. What is the formula that will help us to develop quality education? I mean, that was what I told you the very beginning. So, let's see what is it. Remember that information now is just a click away. We can have all the content we want but the problem is how are we are going to organize it classify it and see if it works or not. And now I'm gonna mention a little bit what Armandanda said, the homo algorithmicus, right? Okay. When we have a lot of

00:06:53

information, right, misinformation, fake news, right? So, we need to know how to deal with this. We need to teach our kids or not that young how to do it. Let's see. Okay, here we are. This is a simple diagram, but I'd like you to focus on two main words. First of all is teachers are shapers of culture, right? We have the possibility to improve quality education. How? Well, through dispositions here, this word. But Anna, what is this positions? What are you talking about? Don't worry. Please have

00:07:29

your word disposition somewhere there because in some minutes we're going to go back to it. All right. Dispositions. With these expositions we are going to get some active learners and effective thinkers right also that is connected to what Armandanda said now the importance of critical um critical yes critical skills right and also the digging deeper okay then we are going to have a situation here because you know the problem with these positions if we can't teach them right we have to

00:08:05

inculturate these positions that is making part of the school making part of the community of learning. How? And here come the second word that is important the eight cultural forces. Okay. So with me let's see for quality education we need two main things dispositions and eight cultural forces with me. One two three dispositions eight cultural forces. Dispositions eight cultural forces. Is it there? Let's move on. Okay. Now, yes, there is positions. How do they work? Well, what happens here is this. Remember that the

00:08:45

ability, I mean, we have lots of content, but we need the ability, right, to connect the content with the situation, right? The dispositions are needed when you are facing a new scenario with a different situation and you need to solve a situation, to solve a problem, right? So the dispositions connect that ability action gap right and they are also serving as a motivating force that propels action. Typically a project at school okay you have a project something in your community something at school and you

00:09:21

are motivating to your students to start investigating but also developing certain skills to get into action. Well, but which are the dispositions? Well, here is a list of examples, right? I mean, this is not new, right? These things have been around for ages. But the thing is that we need to try to understand how they work and see if we are working on them. Let's see examples. Habits of mind, intellectual purchase, 21st century skills, the IB learning profile and of course the think thinking

00:10:00

disposition that was um developed by project zero. So now very simple very simple activity again we have the bubble the yes the light bubble we need to think. All right again the thinking routine. If you know any of these, please write the number on the chat box. I would like to see which are the most well-known. Let's see. Mhm. Remember, we have five, three, two. Okay, let's see. Number 33. 33. Now, that's not surprised. I imagine so that the 21st century skills were kind of of well known right there we have as

00:10:48

they mentioned before Armand especially you know the critical thinking right the digging deeper the questioning okay right thank you right you're doing fabulous thank you okay let's keep it up on continue right Now this when we share all the ideas right I mean we connect all the different dispositions these are the most common right to be open-minded curiosity metacognition the importance of understanding and the question question the information right so open-minded curiosity metacognition

00:11:32

understanding and question and I can imagine that perhaps you're now taking notes because You think I'm going to ask you about this? Don't worry, I won't. Okay, let's move on. Remember that one of the words was dispositions. Now we are getting into the other words that is forces. Good. Somebody's having fun somewhere. All right. These are the forces. Okay. And these are always in our classroom, but not only in our classrooms, right? In this kind of virtual session, we have

00:12:03

it too. First of all, language. When we talk about language, it's not just English, Spanish or German. We're talking about thinking language. And in a certain moment, Mara said your brain is growing. That is a clear example of language. Then we have modeling, right? Modeling is the way that we try to explain or try to work with our students, right? And there we have Mara saying model the growth mindset, the environment. Well, here it's difficult because we are not in a classroom. But

00:12:35

in general, a classroom is full of materials, full of posters and it get kind of confusing. So, we should just erase that and start having only the material that we need as part of the projects. Well, and time you know I told you at the beginning it driving me bananas. Okay, so I have to rush. But in general, we have you know the possibility to organize our time. Agenda is one of those interactions. Well, a special thing here interactions are through the chat box. But in general, think you don't need to tell me

00:13:11

anything, but think who are the ones, right? Who are talking most in the class? Is it the teacher or the students? Right? Routines. Routines are not just well now we are going to start with a book, then we have break time, then we go to to the playground. No, it is about thinking routines. We've done many just some some of them expectations well expectations are different for the different participants but the very beginning I had you know the the agenda those were my expectations and I shared

00:13:41

them with you also Mara says something about expectations in her presentation then well opportunities opportunities are like the difficult part things that you don't know about it or things that are getting you know complex and for me in this case I prepared a mockup. I've never done one before. I'm very happy I could do it. Okay, last exercise. Exit ticket. Right, this is a typical thinking routine. Again, you have, you know, the light involved and one fish. This is personal. If you want to share something on the on

00:14:16

the on the chat box, better, but it's just for you, right? First, the idea is to write two ideas. one two dispositions that you are using already and you haven't realized two forces that you have learned today and something you could give a try. All right, I like this very much. Let's see if I can see the chats. I explain about the bananas. Yes, thank you for the explanation. All right. Are you still there? All right, you're there. That's good. All right, let's see if you have

00:15:09

something to come to share. Forces moderate interaction like it. Thank you. What else? Remember that that time is driving me bananas. Open-minded, right? Okay. Curiosity, understanding the truth, forces, routine, interaction. Oh, good. Like to try modeling. Excellent. Thank you. Modeling, interactions, feedback, and support. Apply the eight forces. Modeling, open minding, and horizontal communication. modeling forces routines modeling open mind and curiosity. Wow, guys, you're doing great and I'm

00:15:52

getting so proud. Development recognition. All right. Okay. And as I told you, time. Okay. Yeah. Got a fish. And as you continue, you know, with your sharing, I'm going to have you the references here. Of course, later you can have a look at it with McMillan. And I I don't know if you've seen that. Um I'm a star fan, a Star Wars fan. And if I talk about forces, I always talk about may the force be with you, right? Um this is inspiring, right? And well, finally here you can find me online. H I

00:16:40

could be more than honored. uh to have your connections. Um there in the QR you have my LinkedIn profile. I work a lot there. So please get in touch. If not also Instagram and uh my email, right? Thank you so much.
