601. Finally . . . We "Met Growth" Again!
After 3 years of stagnating in school growth, our staff stepped back, regrouped and looked at ourselves differently. While we are not where we want to be, we Met Growth this year and raised our performance grade. The "plan of attack" caused us to take a fresh look at our processes and procedures. We will share how we turned things around.

Instructional Leadership: Creating the Conditions #leadership20Chris Wejr
Presentation given on October 30, 2012 as part of the #Leadership20 learning series MOOC. Inquires about and describes successful strategies and ideas to create instructional leadership in schools.
The Systems Centre: Learning and Leadership in the Graduate School of Education and the Faculty of Engineering, brings together educational, corporate and community leaders with researchers, to engage in inter-disciplinary research and development, drawing on systems thinking and complexity theory as tools for understanding and re-designing learning systems and the leadership they need.
The Systems Centre: Learning and Leadership is hosting a series of expert-led open seminars on these themes. The seminars will also provide a foretaste of our new MSc programme in Systems Learning and Leadership, which opens in October 2011 (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/education/students/masters/sll )
We are delighted that Howard Green, Director of Research and Development at Oasis Academies, formerly Special Adviser on Leadership at the Department of Education, and Visiting Fellow at the Graduate School of Education, will lead our first session entitled:
‘Rethinking Educational Leadership’
“Has the current paradigm for school leadership, with its focus on professional standards and competencies, taken us as far as it can with our efforts to transform schools? How can systems thinking and processes help us to find answers to some of the complex problems that remain unresolved and often block further progress in schools? The seminar will stimulate thinking and discussion about these questions and propose a refocusing of our approaches to school leadership development.”
The seminar took place at 5.00pm on Thursday 5th May at the Graduate School of Education.

Unleashing learners VALA Conference June 13 2014Adrian Bertolini

In this session the presenter will share his experiences of unleashing young people via the ruMAD (Are you Making a Difference) program but how he followed his passion to work with schools to think from, plan for, and gradually set up learning environments that unleash learning in schools.

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.

10. What are the colleges searching for?
Harvard seeks "well rounded" students that have contributed in various ways
to the lives of their schools or communities. Academic accomplishment in high
school is important, but we also seek people with enthusiasm, creativity and
strength of character.
Mind the GAP
Princeton’s admission process goes beyond simply looking for academically
accomplished students. We care about what students have accomplished in
and out of the classroom. Tell us how you would seize the academic and
non-academic opportunities at Princeton and contribute to the Princeton
community.
We're most interested in those students who will challenge us, make
original discoveries, use their leadership skills in new venues, and take
advantage of the depth as well as the breadth of this university's offerings.
We like students who make intelligent and interesting mistakes, students
who understand that only in risking failure do we become stronger, better,
and smarter.
11. What are the colleges searching for?
As part of the Honors College, your creativity will be encouraged
and your intellect nourished. You’ll enjoy the best of both worlds —
an individualized educational experience within a community
where face-to-face relationships are the norm and full access to the
Mind the GAP
incredible breath of a research university. Most importantly, you
will be able to customize your Carolina experience based upon your
academic goals, your career plans, and your unique interests.
The purpose of Honors is not to reward past achievement,
but to foster continued intellectual growth, to cultivate a
lifelong love of learning and to prepare each student for life
as a leader and agent of change.
12. Academic Leadership Diploma Recognition
Each semester, throughout the four years of
high school, students will participate in an
Academic Leadership Seminar. This may be
outside regular school hours.
Mind the GAP
Students will successfully complete a Senior
Thesis which will include research, a written

service by the end of the senior year will receive
