Editor's Notes

  1. My responsibility is to a) affirm practice b) offer some new ideas and c) challenge in the nicest sense. William Tell also had a responsibility
  2. John’s wrong leg was broken and reset. have an EGO. Anyone else. I love it when I teach effectively. I am a wee bit embarrassed when I teach poorly, and like Basil Fawlty, I do hope that they did not notice and that I got away with it. Anyone else prepared to put up a little finger and admit they are a bit like me? Good. So , let us start our journey together.
  3. What is this talk about? It is not about ICTs
  4. What is a great teacher worth? I don’t know. What does he or she make? Makes students curious, attentive, confident, better readers and team members, makes them punctual, supportive, polite, a good listener and contributor and a better thinker, able to deal with the many variations they confront.
  5. Principals and other school leaders sometimes face a problem with certain immovable ovjects. When encouraging change and progress, they encounter intransigence.
  6. Your man – Dr John Hattie
  7. Hattie says we must teach what is before us, no matter their ability. Every child has a right to an education. We are NB
  8. Feebback from students – have they got it, This is part of Visible taeching. That is why SCS ius so valuable
  9. Here is my RAS for the keynote.
  10. Ask. Who is the more important part of any school? The students or the teacher
  11. Activity 1. Let’s talk about the most important part of any school. No, it’s not the students. The teachers
  12. Page 2. CLOZE exercise P – need one another and learn from each other. Each has a clear role. Person A speaks, then Person B etc M – skills of negotiating, listening, high percentage of people being involved at same time, functioning well as a group E obvious
  13. We v\\cover these three areas – CLOZE exercise in their book
  14. This guy is a tremendous thinker, a young engineering student – high jump
  15. Both take off on the inside foot and throw the outside foot over, with your head facing the ground. Left choice is head, torso and leg going over together and the diving is Head fiorst. So, you have to Judge which one to do. Critical thinking is when you are dealing with what is known
  16. Creative thinking is when it is not even on the table
  17. Here he is – Dick Fosbury gold imn Mexico 1967 – 2m 28 – new record
  18. Unique jumper – example of Creative Prob Solve. With Straddle method, he was only 10 th in USA and no=t in team. But with CPS, he got in team and won Gold. He came up with the unexpected
  19. Go for unexpected
  20. We v\\cover these three areas – CLOZE exercise in their book
  21. He created this from Critical Thinking
  22. The only 5 ways to break down the high jump – Ext PCQ. Dick F went back to scissors jump and changed each component and trying things out and judging the evidence. So by converting scissors, he came up with a modified scissors jump, which is the Fosbury Flop
  23. When Creative thinking is applied successfully, we have innovation. It takes courage to do this.
  24. You have no idea how many you will inspire, how many you will help to grow, to be their brilliant best, how many you will steer away from harm and dangeraous situations through your frequent calls to be a critical thinker, how many you will lead to unusual lives because of your frequent examples of creative behaviour, how many you will lead to great lives of social service, team building and community enrichemnt through your eamples of the use of co-operatve learning opportunities in your classroom. In short, you simply have no idea how you as teachers, through your excellent pedagogy, will improve this nation. It is not the quality of ITCs that make the change, it is the quality of the teachers who areusing and modelling IVCTs that make the real difference. With those few words, I wish you all the best for this confrence with the encouragement to realise that everybody and everyliving creature may find you imnportant because they realise that you are on their intellectual wavelength.
