Why the U.S. emphasis on "teacher effectiveness" won't by itself really improve schools. Finland’s Pasi Sahlberg is one of the world’s leading experts on school reform and the author of the best-selling“Finnish Lessons: What Can the World Learn About Educational Change in Finland?” In this piece he writes about whether the emphasis that American school reformers put on “teacher effectiveness” is really the best approach to improving student achievement.

In the corner of Jason Steele’s classroom at Oblock Junior High School in Plum, Pa., two 3-D printers whirred softly as they slowly created two objects out of blue plastic thread.
Mr. Steele is using the four printers in his eighth-grade technology education classes to allow students to develop a three-dimensional object on a computer and turn it into a physical product.

![Survey Reveals Which Demographics Use What Social Media [INFOGRAPHIC] | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it](http://img.scoop.it/VBS6HsZXHojuGRBmt_vG6Tl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVaiQDB_Rd1H6kmuBWtceBJ)
A massive survey of internet users reveals trends in social media usage across numerous platforms, ages, races, genders, population density and which social media sites do they frequently visit.
The Pew Research Center has released the results of a comprehensive social media survey, conducted over several years to evaluate which demographics were using social media, and on which platforms. Which social networking sites emerged on top?
Of the online adults surveyed at the end of 2012: 67% use Facebook 20% use LinkedIn 16% use Twitter 15% use Pinterest 13% use Instagram 6% use Tumblr
A decent amount of Americans appear to be using social media, but which demographics use social media in greater numbers?
It appears that women use social media 9% more than men do, at a whopping rate of 71%. Other frontrunners with the highest social network activity in their demographic include city dwellers(70%), Hispanics (72%) and adults with a household income below $30,000 annually (72%).
The most pervasive and consistent divider amongst social media users remains, unsurprisingly, their age. 83% of the young adult demographic (18-29 year olds) use social media, which is well over double the activity of online adults over 65 years old (32%).

9th May is Europe Day. It involves all of the citizens of the EU because it celebrates the declaration delivered on 9th May 1950 by Robert Schuman. On that day five years after the end of the Second World War French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman made the initial appeal for the construction of Europe.
This declaration announced the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC). During the European Council in Milan in 1985 the heads of State and government decided to set 9th May as "Europe Day".
Celebrated each year since 1986, Europe Day is the occasion for events and celebrations that draws Europe closer to its citizens.

"Many of us have heard the stories of how our parents or grandparents had to walk miles in the snow to get to school. Perhaps some of these tales were a tad embellished, but we got the point. A lot of American kids have the luxury of being driven in a warm car or bus to a good school nearby. This is not the case for the children in this gallery. The photos you are about to see are snapshots of the treacherous trips kids around the world take each day to get an education. Considering there are currently 61 million children worldwide who are not receiving an education—the majority of which are girls—these walks are seen as being well worth the risk. In the above photo, students in Indonesia hold tight while crossing a collapsed bridge to get to school in Banten village on January 19, 2012.Flooding from the Ciberang river broke a pillar supporting the suspension bridge, which was built in 2001."

In this article it shows many pictures of the tough and dangerous paths that these students have to take just to get to a classroom and to school. With the amount of children not being able to attend school around the world you can see why some of these children go about these journeys to learn. On the other side it makes me see just how lucky I was and the rest of my fellow classmates were to be able to attend school. To be able to be driven to school or to take a bus. Nowadays some American children will skip going to school if they wake up late or because they simply missed the bus. I thought I had it rough when I had to walk to school in the snow through the city, but this really opened my eyes to how lucky I was and still am. It amazing to see what these children will do to get an education and this is part of the reasons why other countries are becoming more advanced than America, because of the lengths there citizens will go to better themselves.

This world makes getting an education the key to being a success and gives it such high importance. It is almost as if you are nothing without some sort of degree and you won’t make it far without it. It is a shame that such young kids, including elementary students, have to bear such conditions just to get to class. Most of the paths are life threatening. The lack of quality infrastructure and access to education is mind blowing. The quality of education systems vary between different countries whether they be developed or not which is why there is a rise in inequality rates. Girls are less likely to risk their lives taking these routes to school and would rather work. You now need a strong educational background which can sometimes be competitive. These pictures are eye opening and because these kids are so devoted to attending school something should be done about the conditions of their environment. They clearly deserve a safe path to school.
Kevin Cournoyer's comment,

This slideshow makes it painfully clear that the degree to which a country is developed makes for very different experiences when it comes to education and physically getting to a school. Less developed countries clearly present different, in many cases, more dangerous obstacles to arriving at a school than well developed countries present.
The climate and geographic features found in other countries seem to often be what creates the challenges in getting young people to schools. Economically, these countries are clearly disadvantaged, as the lack of a viable infrastructure would indicate. Due to this lack of infrastructure, the journey to school is dangerous and arduous. A certain resilience can be seen in these pictures, however. Those who take these dangerous trips to schools miles away or over dangerous terrain clearly value education, indicating a cultural emphasis on the importance of learning, many times in spite of harsh geographic factors.

===> Professional development is a necessary component of the teaching profession. It must be part of every teacher’s workweek. It needs to be prioritized, funded and supported with time. <===
===> Too many educators have no idea how much they do not know about their own profession. This will require a good amount of directed professional development, which is never popular with educators. <===
Technology has changed things and continues to do so at an incredible rate of speed. If educators are to be effective they must be relevant. If harnessed, technology can be used to our advantage with proper training. If ignored, or not taken seriously by the entire profession, it could very well make educators irrelevant.
Our education system is not too big to fail.
