Underachievement in gifted students
This document discusses underachievement in gifted students. It defines underachievement as a discrepancy between ability and achievement, and may manifest as failing to complete assignments or disengaging from school. Underachievement needs to be a persistent problem, not just a short-term issue. Potential causes of underachievement include unchallenging classrooms, peer pressure, family dynamics, internal issues like depression or perfectionism, and deficits in self-regulation. Interventions focus on counseling to address personal and family issues, and instructional modifications to engage students through their interests. More research is still needed to fully understand the complex causes and develop effective prevention and intervention strategies.

This document discusses strategies for motivating students to achieve. It notes that rewards can decrease intrinsic motivation, and instead teachers should focus on developing students' intrinsic motivation. Several credible sources are cited that discuss the importance of motivation and the factors that influence it, including the student, teacher, content, teaching methods, and environment. The document concludes by emphasizing the teacher's role in providing engaging learning experiences and maintaining students' motivation.

Andragogy copy
The document discusses adult learning theory and how it differs from pedagogy, which focuses on teaching children. It outlines Malcolm Knowles' assumptions of adult learners, including that adults are self-directed, draw on life experiences, are problem-centered and want immediate application of learning. The document also lists characteristics of adult versus child learners and conditions and outcomes of adult learning, such as participation and discussion of real-world problems. The goal in applying adult learning theory is to engage adult learners through a learner-centered approach focused on experience and relevance.
Writing assignment 1 (Ver 2)
The document discusses the argument that school is bad for children. It provides several reasons for this, including that school kills children's motivation by not fostering fulfillment, challenge or interest. It also argues that an overemphasis on grades creates stress and takes the focus away from actual learning. Additionally, the rigid structure and rules of school discourage creativity, trial and error, and independent thinking in children. However, the document also acknowledges that formal education provides important skills for the modern world. It concludes that while schools could be improved, the benefits of education overall outweigh the lack of schooling, and stakeholders should focus on developing a curriculum that nurtures children's talents in addition to grades.
4 Ten Innovative Teaching Ways.pptx
The document provides 10 ways that educators can make classrooms more innovative. They are: 1) have a growth mindset, 2) practice self-reflection, 3) ask open-ended questions, 4) create flexible learning spaces, 5) account for different learning styles, 6) use problem-finding, 7) allow students to fail and try again, 8) consider a flipped classroom model, 9) invite entrepreneurs into the classroom, and 10) use design thinking processes. The overall message is that innovative classrooms require teachers to shift away from traditional lecturing and toward student-centered approaches that encourage creativity, collaboration, real-world problem solving and flexibility.
Lawnmowers and Helicopters: The Failure Creativity Link
This document discusses how overparenting and an overemphasis on success can inhibit creativity in children by preventing them from learning how to deal with failure. It provides strategies for parents and teachers to foster creativity, such as emphasizing process over product, allowing play, and praising effort rather than just success. Creativity is defined as a type of problem-solving for which there are no easy answers, and involves flexibility and adaptability of thought. Fear of failure, an excessive focus on order and tradition, overcertainty, reluctance to play, and excessive reward for success are identified as potential roadblocks to creativity.
Motivation synchronous meeting 1 classroom skills
The document discusses motivation and its importance in learning. It defines motivation as the force that ignites desire and sustains effort to achieve goals. Motivation can be intrinsic, originating from within due to interest, or extrinsic from external factors like rewards. While extrinsic motivation has weaknesses, researchers favor intrinsic motivation for long-term retention. The document provides strategies for teachers to increase student motivation through fostering autonomy, recognition, relevance and other means.
Adult learning (3)
The document discusses the concepts of pedagogy and andragogy. Pedagogy refers to the teaching of children and focuses on a teacher-centered approach where the teacher determines what is learned. Andragogy refers to adult learning and focuses on a learner-centered approach based on the idea that adults are self-directed and draw from their own life experiences. The key differences between pedagogy and andragogy are around the learner's self-concept, need/motivation to learn, experience, readiness to learn, time perspective, and orientation to learning. The document provides examples of how to apply andragogical principles in training adults by linking learning to their needs and experiences and allowing them to take responsibility for their own

Every moment counts outdoor ed v2
This document discusses the benefits of outdoor education for children. It argues that highly structured activities and toys may not be in children's best interests as they encourage passivity instead of active learning. Outdoor learning allows children to design their own learning by exploring, problem-solving and decision-making. The document also outlines research supporting concepts like socially constructed learning and embracing challenges. It advocates for creating natural learning spaces that allow open-ended, hands-on learning led by children's interests and use of their senses.
EDUCATION OR INSULATION?
Education is designed to insulate student from the "real world", to prevent them from understanding the economic, social, political and ideological forces that control their lives, This slide show offers an alternative model of education, one which immerses the students in a framework of community engagement designed to free their minds and to encourage their active engagement in the process of social change.

giving-schools-the-power-to-create
The document discusses developing creative capacities in learners and teachers. It provides context on debates around creativity in schools and outlines some key questions and challenges.
There is an economic and developmental rationale for prioritizing creativity in schools. While creativity is innate and learnable, there are complications including definitional issues, political resistance, risk-averse cultures, and societal expectations.
The document proposes 12 design principles for schools to develop creativity. These include loving subjects and fostering knowledge, developing whole-school strategies, giving creative professional development, understanding and addressing "creativity gaps", and taking a balanced approach to technology. Case studies from RSA academies are provided as examples.

Simulation, games, and role playing are effective teaching tools that involve participants and facilitate meaningful learning. These techniques create controlled scenarios that model real-world situations. Role playing is similar to simulation but often includes winners and losers. Games also involve elements of competition but with a defined end goal. These active learning strategies encourage discovery and examination of concepts while building rapport among participants.

Simulation, games, and role playing are effective teaching tools that involve group members and facilitate meaningful learning. These techniques create controlled scenarios that reflect real-world situations through dramatic portrayals of life experiences. Role playing is similar to simulation but often includes winners and losers, while games involve suspense and a defined end or payoff. As long as participation is voluntary, competition from games can encourage discovery and learning. Educators also use these active strategies as icebreakers to ease communication and build rapport among groups of any age.
Co teaching ppt
This document discusses co-teaching as a strategy for educating special education students alongside general education students. It provides evidence that co-teaching leads to increased achievement in English and math as well as fewer absences and discipline referrals for special education students. Successful co-teaching requires establishing rapport, sharing teaching styles and strengths/weaknesses, and acting as a unified team. Co-teaching promotes growth through lower student-teacher ratios and more small group instruction and engagement. It provides access to the general curriculum for students with disabilities and positive social outcomes for all students.

Fundraising for the Community through the Boston Marathon
Runners in the 2014 Boston Marathon raised $38.4 million for charity, almost doubling the amount raised in 2013. Runners who enter through the official charity programs are guaranteed a bib number to fundraise, but others also raise money. The Boston Athletic Association started supporting fundraising through the marathon in 1989 and the amount raised has increased each year. Several organizations have already partnered with the association to raise funds for 2015.
Brief History of the Boston Symphony Orchestra
The document provides a brief history of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) in 3 paragraphs. It notes that the BSO was founded in the 1880s and has been considered one of the top orchestras in the US and world for over 135 years. It discusses the BSO's first conductor George Henschel and move to Symphony Hall in the early 1900s. It then highlights conductor Karl Muck who led the BSO's first transcontinental tour and music recordings in the early 1900s. Later conductors like Charles Munch and Seiji Ozawa also led historic tours to the Soviet Union and China in the 1950s and 1970s.

School Leaders and The Daily Disciplines of Leadership
This document summarizes Douglas Reeves' book "The Daily Disciplines of Leadership". The book offers a practical approach to school leadership covering difficult topics like communication and accountability. It is based on Reeves' experience in US and international education systems. The book begins by discussing the purpose of leadership and outlines four leadership archetypes, discussing their benefits and drawbacks while offering advice. Reeves focuses on how excellent leadership translates to student improvement and suggests practical steps to ensure quality education for all students.
Measuring Student Achievement Through Rigor, Not Test Scores
Teacher accountability systems that rely solely on test score improvements can incentivize artificially lowering student scores on initial tests. Instead, measuring increased levels of rigor in coursework and assignments can better demonstrate teacher effectiveness by showing students are learning at higher levels, even if their grades do not change. For example, asking students to write fully researched papers using multiple sources by year's end signals more advanced skills than single-source essays at the start of school.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

The Positive Power of Failure
- 1. The Positive Power of Failure By Douglas Reeves
- 2. Camp Nageela Midwest provides an exciting, enriching summer experience for Jewish youth. Increasingly, educators are concluding that many of the policies in schools around the country are threatening the fundamental skills that underlie student creativity and, by extension, the creativity of tomorrow’s workforce.
- 3. Proposals ● To address this issue, experts have proposed encouraging collaboration, promoting constructive criticism, and reconsidering traditional grading standards. ● They have also proposed that schools adopt a different, more tolerant attitude toward failure.
- 4. Failure ● Failure, of course, can come from simple negative attitudes: apathy, laziness, or procrastination, for instance. These types of failure aren’t helpful or potentially productive. ● On the other hand, “instructive” failures— those that provide us with opportunities to learn from error—arise naturally from the creative process.
- 5. History reveals countless examples of innovators, including the likes of Henry Ford, Langston Hughes, and Gloria Steinem, who tried but failed many times before succeeding. Henry Ford Positive Examples
- 6. Experimentation ● By embracing the trials and errors that come from a persistent, experimental mindset, students are empowered to push the boundaries of their own exploration. ● This also equips them with a valuable skill set applicable in practically any profession. ● Most importantly, it enables them to discover how to contend realistically with failures borne of real effort, instead of shying away from them.
- 7. Conclusion ● Most creative endeavors end in failure. By shielding students from such a result through arbitrary, simplistic, or unimaginative learning processes, we’re not doing any favors for them or our future.
