I'm not sure that deadlines are eliminated in ROWE, but the workers are given autonomy in how they meet them -- they can work at home or at work or at a local coffee shop. Their "hours" at work are no longer 9 to 5, or whatever. What would change if students were given that kind of autonomy? How would this change the nature of school? Would teachers have to adjust? Would the students learn more and learn better?<br /><br />As for posting on this blog, if you are signed in, you can click on "new post" at the top right of this page.

Pink Drive, chapter four he speaks about a certain company that uses a strategy called ROWE, (result-only work enviorment) which means working without a schedule. In reading about ROWE I believe that using this strategy works more than putting a person under deadlines.When Gunther the owner of a company, implamented ROWE in his workplace the productivity increased.I believe that our school should immplament ROWE on our students when it comes to certain classes such as math or english. In chinquapin certain teachers give lessons at the beggining of class and then allow the students to do work. I think that the students that feel comfortable enough with the lesson that has been taught should be able to leave the classroom as long as they turn in there assigments on time. I believe that if students were able to leave early from class it would give them the freedom to work as they please, in a place where they feel more comfortable, and and where they would be more willing to finish there work. This would also show the student responsibility wich would make them more willing to do what is expected of them. Using ROWE also shows that the teacher has trust in the student and will make the student feel as if he/she was being treated as an adult instead of a little kid that has to be reminded of his/her workmdiaz827https://www.blogger.com/profile/09289584675045482248noreply@blogger.com
