Motivating teachers to attempt innovation final presentationMaria Sachpazian
This document discusses motivating teachers to innovate through continuous professional development (CPD). It argues that schools should help teachers develop to support both the teachers and the longevity of the school. The financial crisis has led to lower pay and frustration for teachers, discouraging development. To inspire teachers, schools need a clear vision that engages teachers and focuses on student outcomes. CPD should be an ongoing process that helps teachers engage with pedagogy and improve their teaching. Making CPD a regular part of the school culture through goal setting, sharing ideas, observation and feedback can empower teachers and support the vision and growth of the school.
This document discusses four different approaches to education: teacher-centered, learner-centered, subject-centered, and learning-centered.
In the teacher-centered approach, knowledge is transmitted from teacher to students who passively receive information. The subject-centered approach focuses on specific subjects arranged in a logical sequence.
The learner-centered approach aims to give students autonomy over their learning by involving them in the process and addressing their needs and interests. In the learning-centered approach, both students and teachers are co-learners, it places the student at the center, and focuses on helping students acquire skills for lifelong learning through practices like collaborative and experiential learning.
This document outlines an approach to coaching teachers to improve the quality of teaching in a whole school. It discusses establishing a coaching team to work with teachers at all levels. The coaching program involves observations, learning walks, professional development, and lesson study where teachers jointly plan and observe lessons. By building trust and focusing on improving practice rather than grading, the goal is to help all teachers achieve consistently outstanding teaching. Evaluations found the coaching had a positive impact on teacher practice and student learning.
This document discusses innovative and effective teaching strategies. It outlines 8 categories of strategies: enhanced context, collaborative grouping, questioning, inquiry, manipulation, assessment, instructional technology, and enhanced material strategies. The document emphasizes that teachers should guide students without dictating and participate without dominating. It also notes that learning never ends and anyone who stops learning is old, regardless of age.
This document discusses strategies for lesson planning in inclusive and differentiated classrooms. It emphasizes that students have a variety of backgrounds, abilities, and learning needs. Effective instruction involves flexible grouping, ongoing assessment, and adjusting content, processes, and products to meet individual student needs. Differentiation involves tiered instruction where students at different readiness levels engage with content at appropriate levels of challenge. The document provides examples of how to tier assignments, activities, materials, and assessments. It also discusses the use of anchor activities, think-tac-toe boards, and other graphic organizers to support differentiation.
Achieving and Sustaining Outstanding Teaching BehavioursIRIS Connect
As seen at the Academies Show in November 2014. Andy Newell and Ken Brechin share their experience on Achieving and Sustaining Outstanding Teaching Behaviours.
This document discusses the needs of new teachers and components of an effective mentoring relationship. It identifies key areas new teachers need support in, such as planning, classroom management, assessments, and interacting with parents and colleagues. An effective mentoring relationship is built on listening, confidentiality, trust, and collaboration. Communication is important, with mentors listening carefully and responding respectfully. Building trust through maintaining objectivity and recognizing different coping mechanisms is also important. Common challenges mentors may face include finding time to meet and mentees not being open about their needs.
Teachers play an important role in educating students and helping them develop skills and positive attitudes. A teacher's responsibilities include teaching lessons, assessing student understanding, providing support, and serving as a role model. Students also have important roles, such as attending class, completing assignments, respecting others, and taking initiative to help improve their community. Both teachers and students must work together to create an engaging learning environment.

This document summarizes key findings from the TALIS Starting Strong 2018 survey on diversity and quality in early childhood education. It finds that socioeconomic gaps in child development emerge early. While early childhood education can help disadvantaged children, quality varies between more and less diverse centers. More diverse centers often face greater shortages and lower parental involvement, though staff may have more diversity training and use adaptive practices. Ensuring resources for diverse centers, reducing diversity concentrations, and supporting family engagement could help reduce inequalities.

Andreas Schleicher - Teach for All 8 February 2024.pptxEduSkills OECD
- PISA 2022 assessed the math performance of nearly 690,000 15-year-old students across 81 countries. It found the average math performance dropped by almost 15 score points across OECD countries since 2018, a larger decline than ever seen before.
- Factors like insufficient education resources, a shortage of qualified teachers, and more time spent on digital devices for leisure rather than learning were linked to lower math scores. However, stronger teacher support during remote learning and feeling prepared for independent learning were associated with higher performance and confidence.

to reconnect with their
profession and children to
reconnect with learning.
