Implementing Education Policies: Effective Change in EducationEduSkills OECD
The OECD Directorate for Education and Skills offers tailored support for countries to develop and implement their school education policies in ways that guarantee the quality and equity of their education system.
Implementing the new competence development model for schools: University Ne...EduSkills OECD
Norway has started to implement a new competence development model that sets out to develop teacher professionalism with in-service
professional development. With this new policy, the Government of Norway aims to provide municipalities and schools with greater freedom of action and empower them to carry out systematic school improvement at the local level. This decentralised approach would respond to local context and the diversity of needs between Norwegian schools.
The OECD supports countries in bridging the gap between policy design and effective implementation. The university network workshop aims to further discuss and refine the implementation strategy of the new competence development model for schools. To this end, the OECD team is presenting the conclusions of the initial OECD policy assessment (“Improving school quality in Norway”), and organising discussions on the concept of quality for professional development within the new model, and the associated indicators to monitor both the implementation process and the anchoring in local practices of the new model.

Attaining School Improvement through Internal and External Stakeholders Parti...ijtsrd
It is not deniable that stakeholders play an important role in managing educational institution. They are the partners of the school leaders in making the schools conducive to teaching and learning. Further, they are also responsible for attaining the learning outcomes through their active participation. This study assessed the level of implementation of internal and external stakeholders' participation on school based management. Based from the results of the study, the researcher concluded that the level of participation of internal and external stakeholders in school based management program was still in the process of adjustments. In addition, principal and the teachers were bombarded with additional task and this affected their limited time at school and teaching duties. Moreover, lack of financial resources was also the problem on the implementation. Hence, the researcher believed that there are more things to improve before we can attain the mission of this program. This research study might be deliberated by the public officials, school heads, teachers, parents and different stakeholders so that they will be encouraged to continuously support the schools operation for the benefit of all the stakeholders.

Uganda sesemat programme impact and challenges in its implementationKomakech Robert Agwot
ABSTRACT
The Secondary Science and Mathematics (SESEMAT) programme has been recognized as an effective tool
in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning science and mathematics in secondary schools. The
SESEMAT programme was introduced in 2005 with the purpose to improve the teaching ability of science
and mathematics teachers at secondary level; and to improve performance in those subjects. The main
objective of the study was to assess the impact of the SESEMAT programme on science and mathematics in
Uganda; a case study of Jinja district located in Eastern part of Uganda. It also found out the challenges of
implementing the SESEMAT programme. However, the study focused mainly on fifteen secondary schools
out of the 26 secondary schools in the district and the period under consideration was 2009-2013. The
researcher used a descriptive cross sectional survey, where data was collected at one point in time from a
cross-section of respondents. This was useful in the study because it involved collecting data from a
relatively large number of respondents from various schools in the district. Primary data was collected
mainly through in-depths interviews and self-administered questionnaires instruments. Both quantitative and
qualitative analyses were employed on data collected from 135 respondents.
The findings show that, the SESEMAT programme had the greatest impact on: improved teachers and
student’s attitudes towards science and mathematics; improved the performance of students in the national
examinations; and has developed/promoted practical teaching as thought by; as thought by the respondents
respectively. The study also discovered most challenges hindering the programme as: Time consuming;
inadequate science/ instructional materials; and high enrollment of students in class respectively. The
researcher recommends the policymakers, development partners and the government through the MoES to
ensure that, there is right balance of the teaching staff within a department; that the level of resources
provided for teaching is sufficient; reduce the teacher student ratio/ decongest the classes; and finally
recommends prospective researchers to assess the role of secondary science and mathematics education in
industrial and technological development; and a similar study to be conducted in other districts with a large
sample for comparison of the findings.
Key Words: SESEMAT Programme; In-Service Training; Universal Secondary Education

Reforming Teacher Education for Inclusive EducationGTC Scotland
Presentation delivered to the Scottish Teacher Education Committee conference 2009 by Lani Florian and Martyn Rouse, School of Education, University of Aberdeen.
Secondary teachers’ training has become one of the key elements in educational
policies in Spain. For more than a decade, university and secondary education teachers
have claimed the need to design specific and quality based training for professionals
that wanted to become teachers in this specific level, giving special emphasis on the
didactics and the psychological aspects involved in the process of teaching and
learning with adolescents. In order to cope with this demand, a Master of Secondary
School Teacher Training was designed at a national level with specific criteria.
This master, as in other European countries, pretends to contribute to the
development of the teaching competencies that are necessary to succeed in teaching
at this complex educational level. It is addressed to different teaching disciplines, with
a general psychopedagogical approach and specific teaching competencies for each
domain (i.e. Mathematics, English, etc.)
Specifically, at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) the master’s programme
wants to contribute to the development of particular aspects such as: (a) Collaboration
between novice teachers from different disciplines simulating the real context at
schools. UOC’s programme, as coordinator of the pychopedagogical training modules
addressed to students of different disciplines, has designed specific tasks that teach
and demand students to collaborate between them as interdisciplinary teams. (b) ICT
integration into the teaching and learning processes.

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.
