Customizing and Funding Professional Development to Internationalize the Curr...CIEE
For the past two years, CIEE and Union College have collaborated to run International Faculty Development Seminars in Beijing, China, and Istanbul, Turkey, assisting Union in their efforts to internationalize their common curriculum. During this session, we'll outline how Union applied for and won a grant from the Mellon Foundation, approached CIEE for assistance with the design and execution of the programs, and ultimately, how the first of the two programs has changed and will continue to change the common curriculum at Union. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how international professional development opportunities can help internationalize curriculum on their own campuses.
This document discusses issues with current education structures and proposes alternative structural approaches. It argues that problems like disengagement stem from structural issues, so solutions must also be structural. Specifically, it suggests rethinking structures like curriculum, timetables, pastoral care models, age-based cohorts, sectors between early childhood through tertiary education, and delivery approaches. As an alternative, it proposes integrating sectors into two groups, focusing on ways of working rather than programs, and developing school-wide programs instead of age-based cohorts. The goal is to design education structures that better suit today's rapidly changing world and students.

NTLT 2013 - Stuart Middleton - Memento Park or 21st Century?NTLT Conference
This document discusses the need for structural changes to the education system in New Zealand. It argues that the issues schools face are due to outdated structures around curriculum, time, pastoral care, student grouping, sectors, and programs. Minor reforms will not create meaningful change. Instead, the solutions require rethinking fundamental structures like moving to two sectors instead of five, allowing dual enrollment and early access to tertiary programs, and redesigning schools around student interests through impact projects. Structural changes could help address issues like student disengagement by taking a holistic view of contributing factors and intervening across academic, social, and family areas. The education system was designed in the 19th century but must change to meet the needs of 21st
The Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) aims to apply gifted education pedagogy to whole school improvement. It develops talents in all students by providing enriched learning experiences and higher standards. The SEM enriches learning through developing talents, providing advanced enrichment opportunities, and follow-up options based on student strengths and interests. It uses strategies like compacting the curriculum, which streamlines instruction for students who have already mastered content, and total talent portfolios to track student strengths and guide enrichment. The goal is to develop giftedness in all students through high-end learning.
The document outlines issues with the current education system and proposes a dream education system. It notes that the current system lacks practical development, flexibility in subject choice, and holistic development.

Challenges included getting faculty to agree on course content and delivery methods. Discussions focused on instructional strategies, training faculty, and ensuring consistency across disciplines and instructors. As a result of workshops and presentations at Appalachian State, the University of Salahaddin prepared a new syllabus, materials for faculty training, and recommendations to implement the revised course across colleges.
Defending the marginalised school subjects - UCET2016 presentationAlison Hardy
Secondary school subjects that have been consigned to 'bucket 3' in the new school performance measures, such as D&T, music, art and design and PE, are noting a decline in GCSE numbers. Reasons for this decline can be attributed, in part, to the Ebacc and their exclusion from it (see http://www.baccforthefuture.com) but other reasons include new curricula and GCSE specifications, budget cuts and changes to teacher training.
In this presentation I will explore the potential impact of teacher training changes on one of these subjects, D&T. As school teachers have an increasing role to play in training the next generation of teachers - does it matter what value they place on their subject? what might be lost if university-based subject specialists have less involvement in teacher training? These questions are relevant to all marginalised subjects that need defending.
The Western Australian Department of Education developed an Aboriginal Cultural Standards Framework to strengthen outcomes for Aboriginal students. The framework consists of five standards - relationships, leadership, teaching, learning environment, and resources - intended to guide staff reflection and improvement. It was created through research and extensive Aboriginal community consultation. Implementation of the framework aims to close the educational achievement gap, set clear expectations for culturally responsive practices, and ultimately build a cohesive approach and culture focused on strengthening Aboriginal student outcomes. Impact will be examined through monitoring framework use, providing professional learning, and assessing cultural change.
