Teaching writing
Of the 4 skills, writing is arguably the most problematic for learners and often the most challenging
for teachers. Writing is not easy particularly when compared with speaking, where
reformulations, body language, clues from listeners can do much to compensate for a lack of
precision or inaccuracies when communicating messages. Time is also a factor โ writing may be
relegated to homework tasks as there is often a feeling that writing in class uses up time which can
be more usefully spent on other activities. However, as this workshop aims to show, developing
good writing skills is conducive to the development of other language skills including
communication skills.

NTLT 2013 - Marjolein Schaddelee - Learning through project-based learning
Project-based learning (PBL) involves students working in groups on interdisciplinary projects over an extended period of time. PBL improves students' skills, increases completion and retention rates, and is most effective when implemented in the first year. Students respond positively to PBL, enjoying working in groups, receiving feedback, and meeting with mentors. However, early implementations suffered from disorganization which stressed students. Improved preparation, managing expectations, and modeling team behaviors led to better student perceptions in the following year. While more work is needed, PBL appears to provide benefits despite implementation challenges.

Math anxiety is a real challenge that affects learners of all levels. It has intrinsic risk factors related to individuals' attitudes and emotions as well as extrinsic factors related to teaching methods. Strategies to address math anxiety include developing positive attitudes, using collaborative work, emphasizing multiple problem-solving approaches, and making connections between informal and formal mathematical knowledge. While math anxiety is pervasive and deeply felt, it is learned and teachers play an important role in helping students overcome challenges through empathy, awareness of different learning styles, and embracing informal methods of teaching mathematics.

6 stuart middleton friday 4 oct - 11 am
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?
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 document discusses an innovative teaching technique called Mask-Ed where educators wear masks to portray educational characters. It allows students to engage through storytelling and build empathy. Research found students highly engaged and better able to reflect. Challenges include ensuring proper facilitation, but benefits are engaging learning and important messages. Puppets can also be used as patients to help explain procedures to children in a fun way and reduce anxiety. Further development of puppet and masking simulations aims to improve learning experiences.ย

Project-based learning (PBL) involves students working in groups on interdisciplinary real-world projects over an extended period of time. PBL aims to improve students' skills and increase completion and retention rates. Students provide feedback that working in groups, receiving feedback, and meeting with mentors are beneficial aspects of PBL. However, students also report issues with disorganization, unclear expectations, and working with the same groups for too long. In response, educators implemented changes like improved preparation, managing expectations better, and modeling effective team behaviors. While PBL requires more work, its benefits may be worth the costs if it helps students develop skills in a way that enhances learning and academic performance.
