This document discusses how to help slow learners and improve teaching. It argues that intelligence can be improved through hard work, not just innate ability. To help slow learners, teachers should emphasize that effort, not just ability, leads to success. They should also set interim goals and track improvement. The document also explains that teaching skills require practice to develop, not just experience. To improve, teachers should seek feedback, observe other teachers, and consciously work to improve specific aspects of their teaching through small steps over time.

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
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

Why Dont Students Like School_Pt3
1. Why Don’t Students Like School A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the MindWorks and What It Meansfor the Classroom By Dr. Daniel T. Willingham
6. Flynn effect shows large growth of IQ scores over last 50 years of industrialized nations…more change than could be accounted for by genetic changes (15 pts in 50 years)
9. For the Teacher…. Tell Students Hard Work Pays OffPraising process rather than ability send the unspoken message that intelligence is under the student’s control. Students must know that success comes with hard work and continued hard work. Don’t Take Study Skills for GrantedDo all of your students really have the embedded skills to do what you ask them to do at home (don’t take these skills for granted) ie…You have a quiz the next day and you tell your students to study. You think you are asking them to acquire the new knowledge, assuming they already have the proper study skills, but do they? Teach them how to organize their thoughts and learning to make best use of their time
10. Treat Failure as a natural part of learningFailure means you’re about to learn something. My experience: the learning resulting from a failure is the most enduring! “Catching up” is the Long-Term Goal Slow students learn less in the same time period of work, so if they work for the same amount of time as the more bright students, the gap between them will increase…so the lower students actually have to work harder. To help make students feel they are making progress and stay motivated interim goals should to be set and improvement should be tracked. Be wary of praising second rate work in your slower students. By praising substandard work you send the message that you have lower expectations for this student. Better to tell the truth, I appreciate you turned it in -- here is how it could be better.
13. Cognitive Principle #9: Teaching, like any complex cognitive skill, must be practiced to be improved.
14. Teaching is very demanding of working memory. Teachers need to have rich subject-matter knowledge. “It is virtually impossible to become proficient at a mental task without extended practice. Your best bet of improving your teaching is to practice teaching.” Practice compared to ExperienceExperience means you are simply engaged…practice means you are trying to improve performance. Just doing something won’t make you better…you must actively try to improve. “A great deal of data show that teachers improve during their first five years in the field, as measured by student learning. After five years the curse gets flat, and a teacher with twenty years of experience is (on average) no better or worse than a teacher with ten.”
15. It appears that teachers reach a certain plateau at which they are satisfied. Improvement is hard and often times that interferes with other activities (kids, family) etc. What aspects of my teaching work well for my students, and what parts need improvement? In order to practice to improve teachers (anyone for that matter) need feedback Without feedback you don’t know what changes will make you a better (or golfer or scientist) It is hard to critically assess your teaching while you are teaching People are naturally biased in favor of themselves…when something goes well we take credit and when something goes wrong it is externalized
16. To improve at something also requires investing time in tasks that are not the target tasks but done for the sake of improving the target task. Ex. Tiger Woods runs and lifts weights to build endurance. Playing 36 holes on a 100 degree day doesn’t tire him out as much as someone who hasn’t developed the same level of strength. For a teacher that might be working on building student teacher relationship…in the hopes of raising achievement…getting better at working with parents to facilitate at home support/learning. Summarize: Being a better teacher doesn’t come simply as the years pass. You must practice and consciously try to improve seek feedback on your teaching undertake activities for improvement even if they don’t directly contribute to your job
17. Willingham recommends easing into peer evaluation since teaching is personal and taking criticism is difficult and takes time for someone to build trust of the person providing feedback. Step 1: Identify Another Teacher (or Two) with Who You Would Like to Work Step 2: Tape Yourself and Watch the Tapes Alone Step 3: With your Partner, Watch Tapes of Other Teachers Practice making comments They need to be supportive They should be concrete and about behaviors you observe, not about qualities you infer. Step 4: With Your Partner, Watch and Comment on Each Other’s Tapes Supportive Concrete Focus on behaviors Teacher being observed should set the goal for the session. Observer is to look for and comment on only thing set by the teacher Unless you are asked for additional input your role is as supportive careful observer
18. Step 5: Bring It Back to the Classroom and Follow Up Make a plan that during a specific lesson you will do one thing that addresses the issue with which you are concerned. Even if you think of multiple things to do, do just one…keep it simple. After a certain amount of time teaching a teacher goes on autopilot and that is to be expected…but a teacher trying to improve will work to spend less and less time on autopilot. He warns this kind of work can be draining and recommends small steps with these ideas: Keep a Teaching Diary Start a Discussion Group with Fellow Teachers Observe (people of the age you teach…what makes them tick)
