Multigrade schools were the first type of schools in North America and the Philippines. In the late 1800s, one-room schoolhouses were common in North America before single grade classrooms were organized. Similarly, the earliest schools in the Philippines were multigrade due to factors like remote locations, teacher shortages, and lack of funding. Multigrade classrooms combine two or more grade levels and are used where enrolment does not support single grade classes. They provide an opportunity for student-centered, collaborative learning. The Philippines refers to multigrade classrooms as "combination classes."

My view of Common Core, that is, it was designed to protect students’ from receiving an inferior education, so that no matter where they live the educational experience they encounter will be the same as other students who are in the same grade. It basically says all students should have access to the same information, especially in ELA and Math, which outlines “clear goals” (CA CCSS, n.d.) of what all students should “know and be able to do in each subject in each grade”

. “Teachers, parents, and education experts designed the standards to prepare students for success in college and the workplace” (CA CCSS, n.d.).
Support the needs of all learners
To ensure that learning occurs in classrooms district leaders must insist on hiring teachers with efficient skills in the subject area they teach. Those who teach math must be proficient for the grade level they are teaching with knowledge of more than one way to teach math concepts. The same is true for ELA. Antiquated methods for teaching must be removed and innovative technology must replace green, non-digital white boards, and black boards. Boards must be technology friendly and capable of moving to the height needed for students or teachers who require wheel chairs.
For those students, who need special reading, audio and visual apparatuses equity for access must be granted. Reso.
Educational systems in the 21st century require teachers who can apply modern methodologies and strategies to engage creative and passionate students. Teachers must be able to think critically and solve problems to create constructive learning environments. They need competencies like critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, communication, leadership, and creativity. With technology and globalization, teachers must be prepared to use different approaches and strategies to select the most appropriate way to teach each topic to different students. They should construct knowledge using teaching strategies that enhance meaningful learning tailored to students' needs, circumstances, and available resources. Technology is an important tool that teachers should use to create dynamic and fun lessons, even without all the resources of some institutions.
Roles and functions of educational technology in 21st Century educationKirigaya Kazuto
The term “21st century” has become the central part of educational thinking and planning for the future. Administrators and Teachers are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future, and the educational system has been evolving faster than ever before. Creating a 21st century education system is about making sure that all students are prepared to succeed in a competitive world – a world with plenty of opportunities for highly skilled individuals and limited options for everyone else.
Globalization has opened up the world and allowed people to connect in new and exciting ways. We blend traditions and create unique belief systems and also transmit our values and cultures without the expectation of them being adopted by our audience. As always, at its core, the role of education is to prepare students to become active, successful, and contributing members of society.
Instruction should be student-centered
Instead of passively receiving information, the students would gather information on their own, under the guidance of their teacher. Different learning styles are encouraged, and students have an enhanced sense of motivation and responsibility.
They engage in many different types of hands-on activities, as well as demonstrate learning in many differentways. Learning is about discovery, not the memorization of facts.
In order to prepare students to play their role in the 21st century society we are a part of, the following can be considered when deciding how education will look in our schools and classrooms.
Education should be collaborative
Students must learn how to collaborative with others. Students should be encouraged to work together to discover information, piece it together, and construct meaning and should learn how to recognize the different strengths and talents each person can bring to a project, and change roles depending on those attributes. Schools should also be collaborating with other educational institutions around the world to share information and learn about different practices or methods that have been developed.
Learning should have context
Students are encouraged to learn in different ways, the teacher still provides guidance as to the skills that need to be acquired. The teacher can make a pint of helping students to understand how the skills they are building can be applied in their lives. Students will be so much motivated to learn something that they can se the value in. We need to take a more general approach and teach them the skills that they are useful in any situation.
Technology is a tool, a way for fact-based learning and allows students to do a lot of the research using the internet and various tools. The Role of Technology in 21st Century Learning:
1. Technology allows for24/7 access to information
2. Constant social interaction, and
3. Easily created and shared digital content.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
