Sustaining innovation through leadership changes horizon report
This document discusses sustaining innovation through leadership changes in K-12 schools. It notes that leadership changes can lead to evolving cultures and new uses of AI, but can also cause delays in innovative initiatives due to factors like funding cuts, high turnover rates, and budget cuts. Successfully implementing innovative programs requires funding, time, and personnel. Strong leadership in schools builds strength of character, communication skills, and social/emotional skills in students. Bringing long-term advancements requires aiding teacher research and development, learning from student experiences, and introducing leadership roles between principals and teachers.

Teacher enquiry as a vehicle for professional development - Ros McLellanThe Higher Education Academy
This presentation formed part of the HEA-funded workshop 'Research methods for teacher education'.
This event brought together academic experts in educational research methods with school leaders, to debate, share and determine how student teachers and teachers on part-time Masters-level programmes can best be taught to use research methods to better understand and ultimately, improve the quality of their teaching and improve educational outcomes for pupils and schools.

This document reviews professional learning models for teachers. It discusses the various opportunities for in-service training, including school-based, evening, weekend, and online sessions. Effective professional development is described as innovative, personalized, transformational, and research-driven. It should be collaborative, inquiry-based, and provide continuous support. The document also outlines principles for effective professional learning sessions, including support over time, using varied approaches and active learning methods, being discipline-specific, and including modeling. It concludes that models can be adjusted to be more transformative when they expose teachers to content in small chunks and provide opportunities for implementation and long-term engagement through mentorship and coaching.

Lesson studyintro for HE
This document introduces lesson study, which is a collaborative process used to improve teaching. It involves teachers working together to 1) identify a learning challenge, 2) plan a research lesson, 3) teach the lesson while others observe student learning, 4) evaluate the lesson, and 5) reteach the improved lesson. The document then discusses three years of using lesson study to develop pedagogy for a Masters program. It found lesson study helped reduce isolation, engage international students, and integrate study skills into research methods. Overall, lesson study is a useful tool for gaining insights into teaching complexity through collaboration.

Initialisation and Sustainability in Practices of Inclusive Education
King's College London has undertaken several initiatives to promote inclusive education in response to various challenges. A survey of over 300 staff found barriers to inclusion included a lack of knowledge, resources, and time. Students reported feeling a lack of acknowledgement, encouragement, and flexibility. KCL is taking a collaborative approach across departments to develop resources on an inclusive teaching portal, provide training, and support faculty inclusion strategies. The goal is to better support diverse students and gain staff buy-in for inclusive practices through reflection, guidance, and sharing experiences.

This document discusses establishing 3D virtual worlds for use by teachers, administrators, and students of the International Baccalaureate Organization. It proposes creating an IB grid on OpenSim that would allow schools worldwide to connect, communicate, and collaborate in a shared virtual space. Benefits mentioned include overcoming geographic isolation, combining technology tracks, providing modern educational technology, and enabling all students to succeed through differentiated instruction. Several educators offer support for the idea and examples are given of how students have benefited from project-based learning in virtual worlds. The goal is to submit a proposal to the IB to create an official grid.

David Deeds gave a 45-minute presentation on OpenSim, an open-source virtual world platform. He discussed how OpenSim differs from Second Life in allowing complete management of virtual worlds with unlimited land. He also provided options for hosting OpenSim worlds locally, via client-server, or on hosted solutions. Deeds gave recommendations on viewers to use and described his school's virtual world in OpenSim, Caisland. He shared options for schools to obtain their own virtual world space through vendors like ReactionGrid and Jokaydia.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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
