Roma and education
Presentation by Szilvia Kalman, European Commission, DG EAC, on the occasion of the EESC conference on 'Better Roma inclusion through civil society initiatives: focus on education, employment, housing and antidiscrimination' (Brussels, 7 November 2014).
START
This document discusses teacher turnover rates and proposes a program called START to sustain and retain teachers. Statistics show the campus has high teacher turnover rates, from 26.4% to 40.1% over recent years. If more support is given to new teachers, it could benefit students, the campus, and district. The proposed START program would provide new teachers with mentorship, professional development, collaboration time, classroom support and involvement with the community to help them succeed in their first five years. The goal is to invest in teachers to improve student achievement and save district money by retaining teachers long-term.
How will the Common Inspection Framework affect early years
The document discusses the implementation of a new Common Inspection Framework (CIF) across different types of education providers in England. Key points include:
- The CIF will provide greater clarity, consistency and comparability in Ofsted's inspections across schools, further education, independent schools and early years providers.
- The CIF emphasizes areas like the curriculum, safeguarding, and British values. Pilot inspections of various provider types will take place in spring and summer 2015 to test the CIF before full implementation in September 2015.
- Under the CIF, all inspections will include four graded judgements: leadership/management, teaching/learning, personal development/behavior, and outcomes for children. More emphasis is placed

The goals are to improve the education system, drive innovation, reduce bureaucracy, and help close achievement gaps.
Central Government Public Sector Review 21
The private tutoring sector may provide a key to improving social mobility and education standards according to the article.

Why Finding and Keeping Quality Teachers Matters So Much
This issue is timely for two reasons. First of all, the specter of impending teacher shortages, particularly in the areas of mathematics, science, foreign language, English as a Second Language (ESOL), and special education, means that schools will need to work harder to find and hire teachers in these areas, and will have to pay more attention to keeping the teachers they have. Secondly, the evidence that points to a direct connection between quality teachers and high student achievement is so compelling that schools should be putting more and more effort into making sure they find and keep the highest quality teachers.
The Process
The process of maintaining a quality staff has three distinct parts, and different strategies are necessary for each. The first part of the process is finding and hiring new high-quality teachers, the second part is keeping those new teachers, and the third part is keeping high-quality veteran teachers.
Finding New Teachers
Part of the recruitment process requires laying the appropriate foundation. Each school district should have a system that works toward making teacher selection efficient and reliable. This system should:
- identify the attitudes, behaviors, and skills that characterize the kind of teachers the district wants in the classroom;
- screen for those characteristics at every stage of recruitment;
- ensure that the hiring process complies with federal, state, and local laws;
- eliminate unproductive paperwork so that the best candidates have faith in the competence of the system recruiting them;
- reserve labor-intensive personal evaluation for only the most promising candidates; and
- validate the selection process to ensure that it predicts excellence in classroom and professional performance.
In addition to traditional recruiting at local job fairs, administrators should take full advantage of other recruitment tools, including collaborating with careers centers and schools or departments of teacher education at local universities, travelling to job fairs in other districts, and recruiting teachers from other states and countries.
Another, more long-term, solution is to recruit internally by encouraging substitute teachers and paraprofessionals to complete the training necessary to be a certified teacher. For some, this may mean attending a local community college, then completing the program at a college or university. Tuition funding, even if only partial, may enable some school staff members to become certified teachers.
Keeping New Teachers
It's hard to overestimate the importance of support for new teachers. Although the first few years may always be the hardest, school leaders can put in place programs to help new teachers feel less stress and alienation.
These programs include the following:
- Providing early and effective back-to-school orientation.

Inclusive education ppt
This document discusses inclusive education, which aims to educate all students, regardless of ability, in regular classrooms with appropriate support. The key benefits are enabling full participation, promoting belonging, and meeting individual needs. An inclusive system provides higher quality education by fostering understanding and respect through diverse interactions. While requiring initial investment, inclusive education is not more expensive long-term. Success depends on collaboration, training, support services, and accommodating individual student needs.
Gov education reform_plan
Governor Rod Blagojevich's education reform plan aims to improve Illinois schools through increased funding, stronger standards, and accountability measures. Over four years, the plan invests $6 billion in initiatives like expanding preschool and after-school programs, upgrading technology and textbooks, improving teacher training, and taking over persistently failing school districts. The governor argues that past underfunding neglected schools, but his administration has increased education funding by record levels through measures like reducing administrative costs and closing corporate tax loopholes.

Governor Rod Blagojevich's education reform plan aims to improve Illinois schools by increasing funding, implementing new programs, and holding failing districts accountable. Over four years, the plan would invest $6 billion in initiatives like expanding preschool and full-day kindergarten, upgrading textbooks and technology, improving teacher training, targeting additional resources to underperforming students, and taking over districts that do not improve despite assistance. The goal is to provide students with strong education foundations so they learn the skills needed to succeed.
