| 00:00 - 00:03 | Mr. Mortensen, we have been trying to discover |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | the true meaning of standard 3 of the NEPF. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | It has been difficult, but we believe we have ascertained |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | it's origin and projected success probabilities. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | There are some teachers that have concerns about the term "meaning-making." |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | What is there not to understand about "meaning-making." |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | You just make meaning. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Mr. Mortensen, |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | I don't think. |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | We don't feel Mr. Keel will cooperate |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | He poses a risk of strong opposition. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | All none-core teachers are dismissed. English, Science, Math stay. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | This is standard 3. |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | How hard is it to understand standard 3? |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | You core teachers get it, what's wrong with the rest of the staff? |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Why is Keel so damned obstinate? |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | There's no stadium named after me!!! |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | No one should teach for 43 years. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Retire already! And, get out of my life! |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | There will be "meaning-making" in my classrooms. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | But the rest of the staff is behind Keel. They love him, he taught most of them. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | The standard says "Students will engage in meaning-making through discourse and other strategies. |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | I understand, but this is Mr. Keel... |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Mr. Keel needs to provide opportunities for ALL students. |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | To CREATE! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | to interpret multiple representations. |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | to assist ALL students to use existing knowledge and prior experience |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | to make connections and recognize relationships. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | The teacher structures classroom environment to enable collaboration, |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | participation, and a positive, affective experience. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | So, why is this so hard? |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Mr. Keel can have his stadium and state championship rings. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | This is for all students. |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | This is my school, MY SCHOOL! not Keel's |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | That's right, I said MY SCHOOL! |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | I want to see discussion |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | I want to see students in groups creating and collaboriting together. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | I want students to use dialogue to connect content to real life. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | You come to me with they don't understand "meaning-making." |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | JUST MAKE MEANING!!!! Don't you understand!! |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Do I have to spell everything out???? |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry Jolynn, NEPF will be gone by next year. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Does anyone smell that? |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | It must be one of you because I took my gas-X |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | I don't know. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | now back to business. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | I believe that "meaning-making" means helping students discover information on their own |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | and then connecting it to real life. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | It's that easy. |
