The document discusses several designers and thinkers including Bruce Mau, Katharine Hamnett, and Gregory Beck. It provides brief biographies and quotes from each person. Bruce Mau is described as a designer and founder of the Institute Without Boundaries and Massive Change. Katharine Hamnett is identified as a fashion designer and environmental/social activist. The quotes discuss collaborative work, allowing leadership everywhere in a group, the importance of visuals and educating yourself on production cycles.
This document provides 10 tips for teachers to prepare for a successful school year. It encourages teachers to start the year motivated, engage parents in their child's education, change up the classroom environment, allow students to help design the learning space, establish clear rules for classroom management proactively, connect with other teachers online, build a survival kit, cultivate relationships with students, integrate technology effectively with a focus on pedagogy over tools, and make learning fun. The overall message is that preparing yourself and your classroom environment while engaging students and parents can help you have your best school year yet.
The document discusses rethinking student learning and communicating student learning to parents. It covers innovations in schools, the fast rate of change in education, changes to BC's curriculum and assessment focusing more on skills than facts, and the importance of descriptive feedback over grades. The document advocates shifting away from summative assessment like grades and towards formative assessment with ongoing descriptive feedback to better inform student learning and communicate progress to parents.

In less than a decade, social media, cloud computing, wireless devices, smartphones, apps and tweets and video-based content have transformed society. If it seems like the times are changing faster than ever, that's because they are! At the crossroads of these changes, where the technology, and the community, and the young generation of early technology adopters intersect are schools and teachers. Therefore understanding these trends and their impacts on teaching and learning is critical for today's educators. Here is a snapshot of the latest research on these changes by Mark McCrindle and McCrindle Research as presented at MYSA 2013.

The document provides strategies for teachers to prevent gender inequity in the mathematics classroom. It recommends establishing a classroom environment that encourages cooperation over competition and emphasizes learning from mistakes. A key strategy is implementing student-led study sessions to replace teacher-led review sessions, which have been shown to improve grades and confidence. During these sessions, students take on the teaching role by asking each other questions and working through problems together with minimal teacher involvement. The goal is to make students less reliant on teachers and more willing to learn from their peers.

Engaging Learners through Active Instruction and AssessmentALATechSource
This document summarizes a presentation on engaging learners through active instruction and assessment. The presentation aims to help instructors create a welcoming environment, use interactive exercises, and empower students. It provides tips for instructors such as making early contact with students, using validating language, displaying vulnerability, giving feedback, and providing opportunities for student engagement through techniques like think-pair-share activities. The presentation emphasizes building rapport, challenging students appropriately, and demonstrating the value of course content to motivate learning.
This document summarizes the results of a pilot study that examined students' perspectives on how integrated learning was enabled during their social work training program. The study found that practice teachers were seen as most helpful in developing professional skills and linking academic learning to practice. Other students were also significant in helping develop ideas through discussion. While some expectations of university tutors were met, there were also negative comments about availability and people skills. The transition into the program and involvement of tutors could be improved with better guidance and transparency in the allocation process. Limitations included a low response rate and lack of additional data collection methods.
This document discusses the need for a rigorous scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL). It begins by outlining some common student questions received via email. It then discusses how teaching problems can be reframed as problems to investigate rather than fix. The document advocates making teaching practices and evidence of student learning subjects of regular discussion and debate. It provides examples of how to make teaching more inquiry-based through observation, evidence collection, and sharing findings. The document argues the best reason for SOTL work is to improve teaching practices and student learning.
The Project Approach promotes intrinsic motivation to learn in children by allowing them to explore topics that interest them and formulate their own questions to investigate. Teachers support children's natural curiosity by having them identify what they already know about a topic and help generate questions to find out more. Since projects are based on students' own interests and knowledge, no two projects are the same. Research indicates the Project Approach enhances motivation by engaging children's natural impulse to learn through hands-on investigation of self-selected topics.
Mrs. Clarke has been teaching since 1973 and now serves as an Assistant Principal. She discussed how teaching has changed from her early career, when classrooms were more teacher-centered and resources were limited. Now, she emphasizes developing students' critical thinking skills through project-based units like "Murder under the Microscope," where students collaborate online to solve an environmental crime. As a facilitator, she guides students as they research clues independently and in groups. This engages students in meaningful learning as they develop skills like reasoning and questioning.
(MY) THREE PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE ONLINE PEDAGOGYaandpatbcc
The document summarizes three principles of effective online pedagogy according to Bill Pelz, who received an award for excellence in online teaching.
The principles are: 1) Let students do most of the work through activities like student-led discussions, finding and discussing web resources, peer assistance, and self-grading of homework. 2) Interactivity is key, through discussions, collaborative projects, and other interactions. 3) Strive for presence by promoting social, cognitive and teaching presence through techniques like introductions, informal discussion areas, and providing feedback.
This document discusses alternative assessments that position students as creators rather than just knowledge consumers. It proposes a multi-level approach to assessments involving levels of complexity from digital citizenship to designing curriculum. At level two, students communicate science concepts through videos and reflections found group work and active learning improved emotions and understanding. At level three, scenario-based assessments in authentic real-world contexts allowed for reflection, responsibility and personal development. The highest level four involves students redesigning laboratories to incorporate problem-based learning and evaluating the results. Positioning students as creators requires skills like analysis, design, implementation and reflection to develop key skills for every student.
This document discusses openly sharing formative feedback among tutors, peers, and students on a social media portfolio for a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice programme. It outlines the benefits of openly shared feedback, including increased engagement with feedback, opportunities for wider feedback dialogues, and a more sustainable solution than individual formative feedback from tutors. Some challenges are identified, such as students feeling uncomfortable or judged by openly shared feedback. Possible solutions are discussed, such as emphasizing the developmental nature of feedback and creating guidelines for respectful feedback.
This document summarizes a presentation about taking a program-level approach to assessment through the TESTA framework. It discusses some of the key issues with assessment such as having too many summative assessments and not enough formative. It then describes the TESTA audit process and some typical patterns they found. Some strategies for improving assessment are presented such as balancing summative and formative, linking the two, and using more authentic and collaborative formative tasks. The importance of feedback and making it more dialogic is also discussed. Overall it promotes assessing at the program level and involving the whole team in the change process.
Embracing uncertainty: collaboration as learningDave Cormier
This document discusses embracing uncertainty through collaboration. It identifies 4 types of uncertainty - simple, complicated, chaotic, and complex - and suggests better and worse ways to approach each. It also discusses trends in online courses, internationalization, analytics, and communities as curriculum. The key message is that collaboration across boundaries and iterating experiments is better than relying on experts or past practices when facing complex problems with uncertain solutions.
- The document discusses a group supervision model used for MA students at the University of Johannesburg where students from different stages of their degree jointly and individually meet with supervisors.
- During these meetings, students form a community of practice where knowledge is shared and they provide academic and non-academic support for each other.
- The supervision aims to create an intellectual climate and empower students while also addressing them as individuals, incorporating humor, and drawing on the experiences of supervisors and students. However, the model may not be suitable for full-time working students.

Presented at The National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education seminar 'Demonstrating the Value of Information Literacy to Staff and Students'. Dublin, 11th June, 2014.
The document discusses the importance of creating a social environment for online courses. It provides several suggestions for socialization activities and tasks that instructors can use, including:
1. Having students complete profiles and ask personal icebreaker questions to get to know each other.
2. Assigning tasks that require students to read each other's responses and continue the discussion, such as posting about memorable videos or animals they would like to care for at a zoo.
3. The role of the instructor is to plan orientation activities, model good participation, and maintain an active presence by reviewing and commenting on students' posts to build trust and engagement in the online community.
