The document discusses 21st century skills for teachers and schooling. It notes that critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, information literacy, media literacy, technology literacy, flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity and social skills are important for teachers. Communication is key for meaningful collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. Technological skills are essential for a more literate world. Students should be taught life skills like goal setting, teamwork, and social skills. Overall, the document advocates for reforms in teacher training, technology integration, and developing a curriculum focused on 21st century skills.
A curriculum is the combination of instructional practices, learning experiences, and students' performance assessment that are designed to bring out and evaluate the target learning outcomes of a particular course.
Curriculum development is a process of improving the curriculum. Approaches for curricula:
Analysis
Selecting
Formation
Review
Curriculum development is significant because it
Takes contents and shapes into plan for effective teaching and learning
Provide a map to achieve outputs
Provide appropriate learning activities and assessments
secondary education
In British India, the structure and curricula of secondary education were mandated by British colonial rule
After independence, Pakistan then developed its own Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) which were tasked with developing and conducting final examinations at the ends of grades 9 to 12
Admission requires completion of middle school
Consists of two years education (grades 9 and 10) followed by two years of higher-secondary education
Compulsory subjects include Urdu, English, Islamic education (civics for non-Muslim students), and Pakistan studies along with both required and elective courses in the specific stream.
The exams are conducted by one of the Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE).
Curriculum Domain at Secondary Level\
According to the Constitution of Pakistan, curriculum development is the domain of the federal government.
Curriculum development up to intermediate level is the responsibility of the Curriculum Wing of the Ministry of Education.
Textbooks are developed by the provincial Textbook Boards strictly in accordance with the curriculum developed by the committees.
Developed after extensive analysis of the previous curriculum in order to bring desired changes in teaching and learning.
Assessment patterns (development and evaluation ) together with recommendations for teacher training were included in the curriculum

Abstract
Youth age group (15-24) is a great asset to a nation, because youth being a working age population if properly trained and prepared for world of work could bring revolution in the economy of a country. Therefore, developed countries give greater emphasis to youth’s training and education to prepare youth for world of work. In develop countries, to prepare youth, especially school leaver’s vocational training schemes were introduced at secondary and high school level. However, in developed countries the ratio of edging population is increasing as compared to the youth working age population, whereas in developing countries including Pakistan the youth population is rapidly increasing. There is a need that we take advantage of this demographic dividend and prepare our youth for world of work. This paper highlights the importance of vocationalization in youth employment. In the paper youth’s employment trend and its relation with education and training were discussed. In the country, causes for failure of past efforts made for vocationalization of general education were examined. Worldwide available different modes for vocational training and effective models were analyzed and suitable model for vocationalization of general education in the country is proposed in this paper.

various legal issues discussed
by
Dr. Qaisar Abbas Janjua
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

2. “Every community (and nation, my own words)
should have a talented and dedicated teacher in
every classroom.We have huge opportunity for
ensuring teacher quality well into the 21st century
if we recruit promising people into teaching and
give them the highest quality preparation and
training”.
This statement by President Clinton is more
important today, than it was in 1996.
3. Building stronger models of teacher preparation in
the 21st century would require adequate and
progressive knowledge content for teaching as well
as knowledge content for the subjects that the
teacher would be required to teach.
In this respect, the “what” of teacher education
and training should be the focus of the curriculum
framework that is organised on three intersecting
areas of knowledge found in many statements of
standards for teaching which would be applicable
for consideration in the 21st century teacher
education and training curricula.
4. Knowledge of learners and how they learn and
develop within social contexts, including
knowledge of language development.
Understanding of curriculum content and goals,
including the subject matter and skills to be taught
in the light of disciplinary demands, student needs
and the social purposes of education; and
Understanding of and skills for teaching, including
content knowledge of specific subject, content
pedagogical knowledge for teaching diverse
learners, as these are informed by an
understanding of assessment and of how to
construct and manage a productive classroom.

*Assessment and evaluation
*Classroom management
6. Teaching is in the service of students, which creates
the expectation that teachers will be able to come
to understand how students learn and what various
students need if they are to learn more effectively
and efficiently; and that they will incorporate this
into their teaching and curriculum construction.
The work of teaching, like other professions, is
viewed as non-routine and reciprocally related to
learning.What teachers do must be continually
evaluated and reshaped based on whether it
advances learning, rather than carried out largely
by curriculum packages, scripts and pacing
schedules that may be required.
7. Teachers must be able to learn and address the
problems of practice they encounter and to
meet the unpredictable learning needs of all of
their students.They must take responsibility for
contributing what they learn.This means that
programmes must help teachers develop the
disposition to continue to seek answers to
difficult problems of teaching and learning and
the skills to learn from practice and for practice.
8. Teachers should be trained on the state-of-the-art
hard and software that will become common in the
21st century classroom.
Training in technology should encompass
telecommunications, satellite access, networking,
the internet, video-conferencing and digital
components as well as optical technology.These
technologies will permit the 21st century teacher in
the 21st century classroom feel comfortable and
teach effectively and efficiently.
9. The thrust of the matter is that new teachers from the
21st century teacher education and training institutions
would be placed in schools with large, culturally diverse
student population, many of such schools do not provide
the kind of contact with communities needed to
overcome negative attitudes towards culturally different
students and their families and communities.Without
connections between the classroom, school and the local
communities, classroom field experiences may work to
strengthen pre-service teachers’ stereotypes of children,
rather than stimulate their examination which may
compromise effectiveness in the classroom.
10. In the preparation of the strategies for the new directions in teacher education, the
following list needs to be considered in its entirety.
The balance between theory and practice
Universal teacher education curricula with programme contents and underlying
epistemological concepts clearly synchronised for delivery.
The significance of in-depth content knowledge of subjects that teachers are prepared
to teach including expected competencies and programme evaluation.
The consistency between the stated goals and principles of the programme, their
structures and implementation including training systems and process assessment.
Uniformity of professional certification is required both locally and globally.
The scope and organization of school practice should be universal.
There should be adequate programme resources including appropriate institutional
environment for effective and efficient take off of all programmes.
Global and national recognition of teaching as a profession that require certification
before professional teachers can practice.
A rigorous entry requirement procedure to select those who really want to be teachers
and should be encouraged to be teachers.
There should be specific entry and exit competencies
Like any recognized profession, the length of training should be rigorous with
protracted practical practice component that will prepare the teacher to face the real
challenges of the teaching-learning environment.
11. In the new directions, there should be what I would like to
term as “better teaching” model.Teachers should be able to:
Author and publish experiences and researches conducted.
Be central and key participants of curriculum reform and
innovation.
Encourage learners to work together in a cooperative spirit,
help each other with their work as well as be able to evaluate
themselves.
Help learners publish their own work online portfolios.
Write a bank of learning activities for learners to access at
their own pace.
Give learners a wider choice of learning activities according to
their own interests and capabilities.
Build up a personal portfolio of their best teaching plans so as
to share among other teachers.
Create exciting learning environment of active knowledge
creation and sharing.
12. The new teacher education and training should
not lose site of the power of technology for both
teachers and students learning.The real power
of technology will come when teachers have
been trained well in them and have captured the
potential of technology themselves. In this way,
teachers would be able to contribute to model
the behaviour that the students are expected to
learn thereby making them to grow up not to be
learned monsters but more human, creative and
productive.
13. If the 21st century teachers are to consider
themselves as researchers and use research to
improve their practice, then the following
conditions would need to be fulfilled in their
entirety by teacher education and training
institutions
All categories of teachers – pre-school, primary,
secondary and tertiary – should have as part of
their training a concise detailed course in research
methods that would conceptualize and concentrate
on the work that teachers do in their day to day
practice and not just as a course to fulfil a condition
for a degree or diploma certificate.
14. When equipped with the required content and
practical knowledge and skills in research, teachers
must be the first people to initiate research in the
teaching-learning environment that has significant
bearing on their professional practice because they
have the knowledge, skills and experiences about
the needs of their students and situations that
confront them as well as the lives of the education
institutions that they are located and operate daily.
Decisions taken about research in their operative
environment which affect their condition and
progress of their practice as professionals in the
educative sphere must be theirs to make and
implement.
15. Educational researches that are related to
teaching – be it in the classroom or for the
general improvement of the overall school
environment (physical infrastructure,
institutional materials or methods, strategies
and approaches) can be effective with the
agreement of teachers (UNESCO, 1979).This
can only be successfully accomplished if they are
given in-depth training by the institutions.
16. Currently, most institutions for teacher education and training
provide just rudimentary courses in research.These courses,
in reality, do not prepare the teachers to become researchers
and apply their research content as well as their practical
knowledge and skills acquired while in training to solve the
daily problems they would encounter in the classroom
environment.
Research courses provided to initial teachers in training do
not actually equip them with the skills and tools that they will
need to conduct in depth research. Generally, the aim of such
courses has been to help the teacher trainee produce a
research document as partial fulfilment of the degree or
diploma being sought after
There is need to look at the concept research and how it
applies to the teaching-learning environment, especially in
the 21st century school environment.
17. Participatory action research is another
paradigm that deserves mention to help
advance the 21st century teacher-researchers
capabilities to research.
Currently, every country has its own teaching
council with specific objective to register
professionally qualified teachers before they can
practice. Every country has its own
requirements that professional teachers should
meet in order to be registered and certificated
to teach.
18. In order to make teaching to become a mobile
profession world wide, there is need for 21st century
globalised teaching council.The mandate of this
council should be to collaborate with institutions
and organizations responsible for teacher
education and training to develop a common-core
teacher education and training curricula as well as
the establishment of teacher professional
registration council which would be mandated to
issue professional teaching licenses for
practitioners that would be recognised worldwide
to make teacher mobility from region to region and
country to country easy and fulfilling.
The suggestions provided in this case are that:-
19. There should be common-core teacher education
and training curricula.
Research must be considered the master-core
subject to equip the 21st century educator with
content and practical knowledge and skills in
research to be able to attend to day-to-day
classroom problems that may pop up.
The core-curricula should be the preoccupation of
the academic and professional faculties of
education in the universities world wide.This can
begin with the International Society ofTeacher
Education (ISTE).
20. 21st Century Skills for teachers?
Critical thinking
Creativity
Collaboration
Communication
Information literacy
Media literacy
Technology literacy
Flexibility
Leadership
Initiative
Productivity
Social skills
21. Ms. Margo A. Aziz, Director at International
School of Choueifat, Lahore shared her views
on “21st Century Skills & Schooling in
Pakistan” at the launching ceremony of
“Graduate Employability: Employers’
Perception Survey 2018-19”
22. Communication is the key for meaningful collaboration, creativity and
critical thinking.
Ms. Margo classified the 21st century skills into the three essential
skills; learning, literacy and life skills. She believes that learning is
the most enduring skill in our lives. We should also equip ourselves
with the contingent literacy skills according to the time and era we are
living in.We develop life skills over the period of time, from the
upbringing or family structure and through the experiences of life. She
elaborated the learning skills in context of four (04) Cs; critical
thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication skills. Critical
thinking helps student to “figure it out” for themselves when teachers
are not around for analyzing and problem solving.Thinking outside
the box, looking and exploring new innovative solutions and
approaches, risk taking are much needed skills to be imparted at
schools. Students should be encouraged to work together,
compromise, and get the best possible results. Communication is the
key for meaningful collaboration, creativity and critical thinking.
23. Technological skills are the key to more literate world.
Information, media and technology literacy are
essential literacy skills in today’s time.To acquire the
adequate knowledge, to know the world dynamics and to
learn the up-to-date technological skills are the key to
more literate world. Understanding of facts, figures,
data, and statistics has become easier and is just one click
away in this digitized world.The practice of identifying
publishing methods, outlets and sources while
distinguishing credible one from the ones which aren’t is
mandatory for media skills. Similarly, technological skills
should be a must for students in this post-modern era.
24. Students should be taught life skills
For life skills, Ms. Margo suggested that students should be taught
behavioral skills; which are necessary to excel as a human being.The ability to
accept changes in plans as needed and making peace with the changing
circumstances is an art to inculcate in your personality. The ability to set
goal, walking a team through all the requirements, achieving goals
collaboratively, defines a good leader. Initiation skills shape an individual to
be a self-starter, and it requires commitment and passion to go forth.
Ability to complete work in an appropriate time allocated enhances the
productivity of a person. Networking, building relationships, attitudes, and
conflict resolution, making a point, arriving at consensus, listening, cultural
sensitivity, and manners attributed as social skills for which schools should
devise plans to include in their curriculum. For improving the current
schooling system, Ms. Margo suggested to take radical steps for educational
reforms at both schools and universities.The effective teacher training and
licensing of teacher is another important measure to improve the educational
framework. Virtual classrooms should be developed to enhance the
technological interventions in the curriculum.
