Why do public schools need to practice good customer service?
Several years ago public schools, were needed by all, and the public was grateful for them. Education was essentially product oriented.
That’s no longer true. Many taxpayers now believe that the price for public education exceeds the value.
Public schools have mistakenly relied on product-customer marketing versus customer-product marketing.
Research shows that customer oriented strategies create strong customer relationships that will ensure customer loyalty.
A ‘Customer-focused School’ - Some thoughts on School MarketingMark S. Steed
"In his opening address, Mark Steed, the Principal of Berkhamsted Schools Group, explores the concept of a "customer-focused school". The presentation looks at how schools, through collecting data about their current and prospective parents, can gain customer insight and thus ensure sustainable growth. Using practical examples from Berkhamsted School, Mark will discuss ways in which schools can develop what they have to offer to create new demand by opening up new markets; and how far schools should go in listening to their parents."

The future of learning, assessment and qualifications in a post-covid worldMark S. Steed
This session will set up a debate about two areas: the future of teaching and learning; and the future of assessments and qualifications and micro qualifications.
I argue that we were already on a journey from the physical to the digital before covid and that the pandemic has accelerated the rate of change.
I will argue that the current model for T&L is unsustainable and that we need to explore new models that will ultimately be determined by price point.
I argue that qualifications are going to shift from high stakes to on demand micro qualifications.

International School Recruitment in a Post-Covid-19 WorldMark S. Steed
A Tes Webinar given on Wednesday 9th September 2020 looking at the likely impact of Covid-19 on International Teacher and School Leader Recruitment for 2021
This presentation looks at how AI works, how it is being used presently in Education and then outline some concerns about how AI might be used in education in the future.
I argue that AI has a much greater part to play in Education – particularly in making education more widely available in the developing world and in reducing the cost of education.
The talk then moves on to discuss general ethical concerns about how AI is being used in society, looking at the issue of how we program autonomous vehicles as a case in point. I then outline five areas of concern about the use (and potential abuse) of AI in education arguing that we need to have a much more informed debate before things go too far. With this in mind, I close with some suggestions for courses and reading that might help colleagues to become better informed about the subject.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
