April 11th Saturday Scholars - Beyond the Good Intentions of Policy: Research...
Despite numerous policy efforts what we know, and some of our most recent news stories bears this out, is that educational, economic, political, and social inequality persist.
From the inadequate and unequal opportunities to learn that heavily shape the academic and life outcomes of historically marginalized students, to the denial of many DACA students to accessing higher education, to the persistent killings of Black lives by police officers, including, most recently, the shooting and killing of Walter Scott in North Charleston, South Carolina, what we know is that there is much work to be done.
Teaching Excellence Series: What is the evidence
This document discusses a teaching excellence series organized by Newcastle Educators. The series aims to engage stakeholders in wide-ranging discussions about teaching excellence, which is a relative concept influenced by experience and context. It will explore various sources of evidence on teaching excellence, including pedagogic literature, performance data, student satisfaction, and ideas. The literature suggests excellence involves dedication, passion for one's subject, supporting diverse learners, and continual learning. Future sessions will involve input from educators, students, and experts to further discuss defining and achieving teaching excellence.

Research project
Approximately 2-3 out of every 1000 students are deaf, with 85% of deaf students being educated in mainstream public schools. Effective instructional strategies for deaf students include using visual communication like American Sign Language (ASL) and interpreters, visual aids such as pictures, projectors, and graphic organizers, ensuring the student has a clear view of the teacher by arranging the classroom circularly and having the teacher point to the speaker, checking for understanding through buddy systems and speaking directly to the student, and being flexible. Teachers should also ask deaf students when they are unsure how to best provide instruction.
Academic Integrity in the Kingdom of Cambodia
The Kingdom of Cambodia is a Southeast Asian nation that has experienced tremendous growth in their higher education system. The globalization and privatization of Cambodia's higher education system has increased the opportunities for students who traditionally would be unlikely candidates to attain a college education. However, these significant changes have also unearthed deeper issues in the academic system and perhaps, future cycles of educational inequality.

Effective professional development requires sustained support over time, opportunities for practice and reflection, a focus on student outcomes, and addressing teachers' starting points. School culture and leadership are important for developing evidence-informed practice through collaborative research and development approaches and continuous professional development.
Di Powerpoint
Differentiated instruction is a flexible teaching approach that varies content, process, and product based on student readiness, interests, and learning needs. The teacher plans for and responds to student differences rather than forcing all students into the same mold. Differentiating instruction benefits all students by addressing their varying needs. Teachers can differentiate by content, process, and product to engage students and help them learn in different ways. Assessment is an ongoing process used to identify student strengths and needs, not just evaluate what they studied.

Students who define specific learning goals before studying abroad are more likely to learn deeply. Formative assessment, based on clearly defined shared learning goals, enhances both buy-in and learning. A brief review of recent research projects will be followed by a guided small-group practicum about defining objectives and choosing appropriate instruments.

FOCI XI Booklet
The document provides information about the 11th Forum on Curricular Issues (FOCI XI) event hosted by TED University in Ankara, Turkey from May 14-15, 2015. The event focused on the theme of "Motivation of learners and teachers: The role of curriculum." Over 30 participants from various Turkish universities attended and participated in focus group discussions. The document outlines the program, participants, focus group tasks, and aims of the event. The focus groups were asked to discuss how curriculum design can impact teacher and learner motivation and provide concrete suggestions to address motivational issues.
FOCI XI Group D
The document outlines problems students face with curriculum implementation from their perspective and suggestions to address them. Some common problems included finding teaching materials and tasks boring, not understanding the purpose of in-class activities, and feeling that coursework did not adequately prepare them for their departments. Suggestions to address these issues involved using more engaging, meaningful, and authentic materials, offering courses aligned with department needs, and providing more practice opportunities outside the classroom. The document also discussed problems with assessments, such as feeling nervous during exams, unclear grading criteria, and not understanding mistakes. Suggestions involved alternative assessments, rubrics, samples, mock exams, and more feedback opportunities.
FOCI XI Group B
This document discusses curriculum design and learner motivation. It covers four main topics: 1) teacher-learner interaction, including constructive feedback and needs analysis; 2) involvement, ownership, empowerment, autonomy, and team projects, such as learner-centered activities and shared goals; 3) diversity of needs, interests, and backgrounds, including a variety of texts and flexible activities; and 4) assessment, with a variety of tools catering to individual differences and learner feedback. The document provides details on strategies within each of these topics to increase learner motivation in the curriculum.
FOCI XI Group C
1. The document discusses the relationship between curriculum implementation and teacher motivation from the perspective of a group of teachers.
2. It explores different views on the curriculum from teachers, curriculum teams, and institutions. It also examines how autonomy, involvement, and culture can impact teacher motivation.
3. The teachers propose ways to foster motivation such as ongoing development, feedback, flexibility, appreciation, collaboration, and reducing stress and burnout.
FOCI XI Group A
The document discusses how involving teachers in curriculum design, content selection, teaching methods, and assessment can positively impact teacher motivation. It recommends that teachers provide input on needs analysis and objectives, have autonomy in instructional decisions and content selection, and participate in formative assessment and evaluation of their own students. Involving teachers in these areas helps them feel invested in the process, embraces different perspectives, and promotes transparency, all of which can increase motivation. However, the document also questions whether too much involvement could instead lead to teacher burnout.
