Keynote address (Feb, 2016) to the educators in the Fort Nelson school district. We all know that we cannot teach a child without a concection... without a relationship. In the hustle and bustle of our jobs as educators, we often forget our why, the reason we got into education, of trying to make a difference with kids. In this talk, 6 Keys to Connecting are shared and discussed with the challenge of creating a more positive climate and better connections with kids in our classrooms, schools, and organizations.
Excellent Teachers For High-performance Schoolsnoblex1
Teacher quality has been one of the most hotly debated education policy issues over the past ten years. Central to the discussions are strategies to align teacher education and professional development programs at colleges and universities with the reform of K-12 education.
In many states, public officials have joined K-12 and postsecondary education leaders to restructure teacher preparation and professional development programs under the auspices of statewide K-16 initiatives. And yet, according to a national commission on teaching, America is still a very long way from realizing that future.
Colleges and universities often have been criticized for contributing to the deficiencies of K-12 schools. Year in and year out, schools of education produce graduates who staff the great majority of our nation's classrooms, with usually significant prowess. At the same time, schools of education are assigned much of the blame for all that is imperfect or lacking in K-12. Common sense suggests that there is plenty of blame to go around and that schools of education can only do what their profession and their universities permit them to do. That said, much stands in the way of their becoming what they must be to produce uniformly excellent teachers for reformed high-performance schools.
It is disappointing that higher education in general has had so little involvement in the contemporary school reform initiatives, thus, begging the question of the relationship of higher education to the K-12 enterprise and the consequences thereof for teacher education.
Work in the states is being supported by a number of national initiatives aimed at reforming the teaching profession, from recruitment to initial preparation, to the transition of the beginning years of teaching, and throughout continuing professional development. These national blueprints for achieving quality in teacher education serve to involve interested states as partners in the design and implementation of effective strategies and programs.
This policy brief will examine state-level strategies aimed at incorporating quality teacher education and professional development programs as part of new state K-16 or P-16 systems. It includes analyses of critical components that contribute to the success of the initiatives. The brief concludes with suggestions of what more could be done to strengthen the preparation and development of quality teachers within states' P-16 paradigms.
The new initiative has identified five goals:
1. To improve student achievement from preschool through postsecondary educa-tion;
2. To help students move smoothly from one education system to another;
3. To ensure that all students who enter postsecondary education are prepared to succeed;
4. To increase access and success of all students in postsecondary education, especially from minority and low income groups;

Teacher Quality Is Defined By Reforms Fostered In Teacher Licensure And Certi...noblex1
There is a growing consensus among many states that standards for accreditation of teacher preparation programs, initial licensing for teachers, and advanced certification for veteran teachers should be aligned. Rules and tests that govern teacher certification have little to do with true classroom performance. Rather than tighten regulations, states are urged to simplify entry and hiring into the profession and allow the market to guide both teacher quality and quantity. There also is a continuing focus on the assignment of state representatives needed to facilitate the assessments, as well as a systemwide strategy to develop and encourage teacher self-assessment as an approach to professional development.
All institutions are required to meet teacher preparation standards. These new standards provide mentors to help ensure that beginning teachers have ongoing accurate feedback about their progress and that teachers use assessments and requirements for continuous professional development throughout their career. Teachers now are required to earn a master's degree or complete hours of graduate credit in classroom teaching and/or in an area of licensure.
Companion elements to the teacher reform agenda are organized to help ensure high quality sources of professional development for all educators and school support personnel and achieve their mission by disseminating exemplary educational practices, facilitating individual and organizational development, encouraging self-reflection and life-long learning, valuing local and regional needs, providing a flexible regional delivery system that is comprehensive and equitable, promoting collaborative leadership, communicating actively with service providers and advocating the use of technology.
Through new initiatives, there also have been organizational adjustments that have signaled an increased emphasis on school-higher educational partnerships to improve teaching and learning. Teacher recruitment has focused particularly on the teaching force becoming more diverse in its promotion of school improvement. One significant strategy for meeting these expectations is the creation of new model projects funded to serve as promising initiatives to draw unrepresentative individuals in the teaching field.
A significant proportion of the funds are directed toward partnerships to work on tasks that would yield a solid set of alternatives for professional development. A partnership assistance and coordination plan for school-higher education partnerships is developed, the goal of which is to establish linkages between the funded school-higher education partnership projects.
The new goals are:
1. To communicate college level expectations through faculty from K-12 and higher education communities collaborating on the definition of freshman admission standards and common placement guidelines.

The MGC HIGH in Curricular Engagement will both:
a) expand and deepen service-learning and
related academic initiatives and scholarship
b) establish a national leader in the field. That will cultivate curricular engagement as an area of distinctive focus for MGC HIGH (at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, for both students and faculty, and in communities from local to international). It will help to fulfill the emerging institutional vision of MGC HIGH as “the cutting edge science technology university that engages students in the world now.”
Improving The Professional Knowledge And Skills Of Teachersnoblex1
The realization that teachers of young adolescents need specialized professional preparation is not a recent phenomenon. For over seventy-five years, the literature has included calls for these preparation programs. Unfortunately however, significant numbers of teacher preparation institutions, state departments of education, licensure agencies, and others have chosen to ignore the need for these teachers and have promoted the widespread idea that when qualifications for teaching young adolescents are considered, the response is often "no specialized preparation needed."
As a result, many of today's middle level students are taught by teachers who are not sufficiently prepared to be successful in the challenging and rewarding responsibility of understanding and teaching young adolescents.
A complex set of reasons has caused and perpetuated the failure to recognize the importance of specialized professional preparation for middle level teachers. It is important to examine some of the barriers that have prevented full success in implementing specialized middle level teacher preparation to help prevent the same mistakes from reoccurring. Some of the major barriers are: (a) the negative stereotyped image of young adolescents; (b) too few advocates at teacher preparation institutions and state agencies; (c) desire for flexibility in assignment of middle level teachers; (d) lack of knowledge of the public about appropriate middle level schooling; and (e) the limited number of instructors in teacher preparation programs who have the depth of knowledge and experience needed. These and other barriers must be carefully considered in the movement to establish strong middle level teacher preparation programs. The most destructive barrier to specialized middle level teacher preparation, however, is the failure of states to establish mandatory middle level teacher licensure.
A close relationship exists between the type of licensure available and the number of teacher preparation institutions that offer special middle level teacher preparation programs. Special mandatory middle level teacher licensure leads to the development, implementation, and continuation of special middle level teacher preparation programs. Therefore, a major reason specialized middle level teacher preparation programs are not universally available in the nation lies in the failure of many states to design and implement licensure regulations which promote the specialized knowledge, dispositions, and performances needed to successfully teach young adolescents. As well, many states with specialized middle level licensure have plans with wide overlapping grade levels. The result of such plans is that most prospective teachers select options with the widest range of job possibilities instead of choosing to focus on specialized preparation for a single developmental age group.

10 Effective Strategies To Close The Achievement Gap In Education | Future Ed...Future Education Magazine
Here are 10 strategies to close the achievement gap in education: 1. Early Childhood Education Initiatives 2. Targeted Support for At-Risk Students 3. Professional Development for Educators 4. Robust Data Collection and Analysis 5. Community Involvement and Engagement
This study aimed to explore the survival of school financing management
during the COVID-19 pandemic, to assure the quality of teaching and
learning continuously. This study used a qualitative design, and data
collection is carried out by observing resource persons and in-depth
interviews, analysis or analysis of documentation and a combination of the
three as triangulation method. The collected data were analyzed using an
interactive model. The results showed that financial management strategies
in managing school finances effectively and efficiently, through
transparency, accountability and responsibility, are considered to have
contributed to the prospects, quality, progress and sustainability of education
in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is based on the fact that many
quality and good schools eventually experience setbacks due to the lack of
transparency, accountability and responsibility in the management of
education funds. Openness in schools can promote accountability and fight
corruption in education, if it is implemented effectively and any malpractice
is dealt with clear consequences. The implication is the strategies of
education financing management in terms of transparency, accountability and
accountability need to be carry out consistently to ensure the improvement of
school quality runs in a sustainable manner.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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

2. In a thirty year period UAE developed a public
national education system which is parallel to
Western countries’ hundred year effort for
education establishment.
Education has turn into a main concern in the
UAE.
Modern economic and social infrastructure
growth is provided by applying vast resources in
health, education, and social welfare.
Public education facilities were expanded
tremendously after the foundation of the UAE in
1971
3. Expanded learning program suggests providing
education based on more afterschool and
summer programs which will be constructive
addition in schools reform.
Countries apply afterschool programs to build
interest for education in students, which give a
strong evidence base for the academic benefits
of afterschool programs.
Expanded learning would include afterschool
programming, like offering camps, extra
tutoring, and field trips, by schools as a main
part of their new reform.
4. Expanded learning can play a vital role in enhancing
academic and moral outcome for students.
Surveys can be taken on accountability for outcomes
to make evident student efficiency for the school
administration to help in obtain the expanded
learning program in the structure of development
reform.
The current reforms of the schools focus on
changing the delivery on regular instructional
programs similar to international schools patterns
5. Expanded learning would get benefit
for early childhood education.
It is not easy to pursue school
administrators that an investment in
this program can give a significant
outcome in terms of achievements of
students
Though evidence of positive results is
accumulating of expanded learning,
further evaluation about impacts of
expanded learning program can
increase the knowledge of its effective
application.
Identifying the core elements of good
expanded learning and their link with
student results is a good step
6. Integrating expanded learning in a
school reform needs extra funds.
The education communities need to
partner with federal education
committees and ministries to
increase the support for funds
development.
Focus for funds allocation should
be that the funds would be used
only in offering innovative
expanded learning opportunities in
needed schools.
7. Appropriate staff needs to be appointed for
high quality expanded learning program.
Development of constructive planning to
attract talented people towards this field and
current professional development improves
staff’s skills in working for expanded
learning program.
Schooling organizations should be developed
to create training programs for afterschool
curriculum providers.
Strategy should be made in differentiated
staffing very deliberately, and staff could
include, school-day teachers, volunteers,
retirees, college students, etc.
8. Sometimes schools want to attract
community resources to offer opportunities
to students but don’t have resources to
even make partnership with universities-
based organizations, train staff, evaluate
quality of program, and influence
resources.
To apply expanded learning program
effectively a constructive planning,
management, implementation and
collaboration is essential.
Non-profit agencies or intermediaries can
play a core role for expanded learning
program in encouraging vast availability
and high-quality in afterschool projects
9. According to researches evidence is made that
the integration of expanded learning can
produce positive results in terms of academic
and moral learning.
It is critical to implement this practice in school
reforms, some schools may falter in these
applications in spite of sufficient funds
Schools can create comprehensive and strong
programs through making the research, and
developing strategies to implement expanded
learning programs in the school reforms
10. Over the last decades, the UAE has a great
opportunity to implement the lessons
learned from the experience in improvement
of learning patterns for students.
Funds can be obtained to fulfill necessary
needs in transforming school reforms.
The funds can also be used to incorporate in
the interventions which are focused on
student interests and needs.
Resources should be used efficiently to make
innovations in the reforms for afterschool
learning
