From the Penn IUR and Penn GSE sponsored conference:
“Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs in Metropolitan America: The Policy, Practice and Research Issues"
May 25-26, 2011
Organized by Laura Perna, a professor in Penn GSE, and Susan Wachter, a professor in Penn’s Wharton School, “Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs” explores the most effective institutional and public-policy strategies to be sure high school and college students and adult learners have the knowledge and skills required for future employment.
“The conference addresses such critical questions as: How do we define success with regard to the role of education in preparing students for work?” Perna said. “How well are different educational providers preparing future workers? What is the role of public policy in improving connections between education and work?
“It seeks to improve our understanding of several fundamental dimensions of this issue through insights from federal, state and local policy leaders, college administrators and researchers.”
Guest speakers include Eduardo Ochoa, assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Education; former Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell; Lori Shorr, chief education officer to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter; Charles Kolb from the Committee for Economic Development in Washington, D.C.; Claudia Neuhauser from the University of Minnesota; Bethany Krom from the Mayo Clinic; and Harry Holzer from Georgetown University.
“Much recent attention focuses on the need to improve high school graduation and college degree completion. But, relatively less attention has focused on whether graduates and degree recipients have the skills and education required by employers,” Perna said.
The event is sponsored by the Penn’s Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Interdisciplinary Methods for Field-Based Research in Education, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute for Education Sciences in collaboration with Penn’s Institute for Urban Research.
603. Rigor Through Scholastic Competition
Learn how scholastic competitions can provide authentic and relevant rigor for your students both in and out of the classroom. Competitions can challenge students of all performance levels and can provide rigor to your high flyers motivating them to reach their full potential. Presentation will include all levels of competitions in all subject areas.

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.

502. Improve Your AIM on School Improvement
"Different Thinking for Different Results" will share common characteristics / practices found in K12 High Performing, Rapidly Improving, and High Reliability Schools. There are no silver bullets, but this session will help schools reflect on their Culture, Leadership, Rigor, Community practices, and the WHY of needing to increase staff's capacity for the sake of improving student learning.

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.

(National Council of Teachers of English, 1999).
• Children do not learn to read in order to be able to
read a book, they learn to read by reading books (NZ
Ministry of Education, as cited in Mooney, 1988).

What informed the implementation?
Indicators of success?
Topical focus — All EBP resources restrict the programs that they include to those that target a certain set of outcomes or target groups.
Research design — A program evaluation's design affects the legitimacy of its results. Randomized controlled trials are generally accepted as the research design that best minimizes threats to the validity of a study's findings, but other designs may be acceptable, including quasi-experimental designs, nonrandomized controlled trials, prospective or retrospective cohort studies, cross-sectional studies, case control studies, case series and registries, and case reports. [7]
Statistical significance — Statistical significance is a measure of how certain evaluators are that the effects observed for the group that received the treatment are different from those for a group that did not receive the treatment. The threshold for statistical significance is one area where most EBP definitions are in agreement.
Practical significance — It is possible for a measured outcome to be statistically significant but too small in size to actually matter in practical terms. For example, a preschool program may be shown to increase by one letter the number of letters a child can identify. While this may be statistically significant, knowing one more letter of the alphabet may not be practically significant given the costs of the program. Practical significance can be subjective, so "effect sizes," a statistical measure of the size of a program impact, are typically used.
Attrition — Attrition occurs when study participants drop out of the research study over time. They might drop out of the treatment group, the nontreatment group, or both. Attrition can compromise a research study—for example, by changing the composition of the participants so that the individuals remaining in the study no longer represent the population that the intervention aims to affect.
Quality of outcome measures — Evaluated programs monitor changes in outcome measures to establish that the program is effective. Outcomes can be measured in various ways, such as child hospitalizations, teenage substance use, or family functioning. Additionally, some resources require that measures reflect a change in some outcome measure of real value rather than just participation in the intervention.
Publication or authorship requirements — Some EBP resources require that program evaluation findings be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Others require that the evaluation be independently conducted by individuals other than the program developers.
Replication — An initial program evaluation shows that a program is effective in that particular context, but a successful replication of the program shows that the program can be effective in other contexts. Some EBP resources require that evaluation findings have been replicated in order to achieve the highest tier of evidence.
