Dr. Gregory Washington, Dean of UCI’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering, delivers a riveting message to provoke educators in the NSF IUSE Ideas lab to action. The world is changing rapidly, but we still educate the same way. We need a STEM-o-lution!
Our students will face unprecedented global challenges, competition and change. A 21st century education must must these challenges and opportunities. Gregory Washington outlines strategies for success for K-12 educators.

"Assessing Emerging Technology and Futures Capacity for Your OrganizationBryan Alexander
Materials for my 2016 Campus Technology workshop.
From the conference description:
"How can a campus information services organization best approach and strategize emerging technologies? Mr. Alexander will present futuring methods currently used in academia, non-profits, governments and businesses. You will learn how to use environmental scanning to identify major trends in the present which are likely to shape the medium-term future. Additionally, you will discuss with other attendees how to expand your institution’s capacity for assessing emerging technologies and other drivers that will reshape higher education."
This report analyzes key drivers that will reshape the landscape of work and identifies key work skills needed in the next 10 years.

Knowledge-intensive and innovation-led globalized world
Everyone competes with everyone, self-branding on the rise
The less competent are replaced by those who, in other parts of the world, can do the same for less
The rate of change of the economy requires creative and differentiated workforce
The ability to create value, with creativity and competence, becomes essential for survival in the labor market
But the uniformity of school systems produces almost undifferentiated workforce

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.

Great Achievements of the Last Century
This is a very difficult time to be an educator (at any level). The difficulty today is unlike any in our history. We have had four major shifts in the way in which we educate, and we have always been required to change. We have always been funded to do so. Not so today. This is not going to be lecture on what we need to do to be better it’s a conversation We have moved from the industrial revolution into the information age:
940 freshmen coming this year. An increase of 30% from last year.Student growth continues with major growth over the last three years. The HSSOE has the largest graduate program at the university by more than 150 studentsThe faculty has grown by 9.3% in the last five yearsThe number of staff has actually decreased by -0.29% over the last five yearsCoupled with significant reductions of our operating budget over the last five years has placed significant strain on our faculty. Campus enrollments have been relatively flat over the same periodFaculty and Staff growth has not kept pace with student enrollments. Staff growth has been anemic in the last few years and faculty growth has come through special arrangements (i.e. university hiring initiatives, spousal hires, etc)Filled faculty has increased 9.3% over the last five years.

The way learning is organized is shifting from being institution centric and to being more learner centric.We’re seeing institutions use MOOCs and other forms of online learning to get more flexible (like edX).
