As we seek to refine and reform today’s system of education, we would do well to ask, “What is education?” Our answers may provide insights that get to the heart of what matters for 21st century children and adults alike.

A research study about research studies comes up with a cautionary finding.
For more than a decade, school reformers have said that education policy should be driven by “research” and “data,” but there’s a big question about how much faith anyone should have in a great deal of education research. This is so not only because the samples are too small or because some research projects are funded by specific companies looking for specific results, but because in nearly all cases, it appears that nobody can be certain their results are completely accurate.
“I would love to believe that every single person doing education research around the world has ethics that are as pure as the driven snow,” Plucker said. “[But] the law of averages tells us there’s something out there.”
Data is significant yet can be deceptive. We are developing human potential and there are aspects where data is not as reliable to success as we portray.
This article is about the low value placed on replication studies. It does not call into question all education research! I'd like to see how this replication issue compares to other social sciences before dismissing all ed research!
If you bring your phone, tablet or laptop with you when you travel, there’s one thing to keep in mind: public WiFi networks are public.
“That open Wi-Fi connection opens the door for hackers,” writes NPR’s Steve Henn. “They can get in the middle of transactions between, say, you and your bank.”
Because you’re sharing the network with strangers, there’s the risk that someone is using readily available software that snoops on what you’re doing.

Simply limiting or restricting access is not the answer to keeping students safe. Students need to use the tools that will help them learn their best at any time and anywhere. As a result, Learning.com has developed a brand new Digital Citizenship App, specifically designed for middle and high school students, to teach them how to be safe and make good choices online.

We need to have higher expectations for ourselves as educators, parents, and policymakers; and we need to have higher expectations for our students -- they will meet the bar wherever it is set.
To address this challenge we must revolutionize what we teach, how we teach and how we measure the results. Fundamental and rapid change is necessary -- now, not sometime in the future. Solving our nation's education crisis will take commitment and investment in proven approaches to project-based learning.
We have to convert our thinking from maximizing content coverage and "teaching to the test" to using methods that help students understand the applications of what they learn.
===> We must help students develop problem solving, critical thinking and collaboration skills -- skills that will prepare them to compete in the global economy. <===

What is professional development? It is pretty much anything that helps one develop professionally. At the heart, professional development is about growth and learning. In the field of education, it seems like many quickly think of educational opportunities that mimic what they see in their schools. As a result, they turn professional learning and education into schooling. The problem with that is that schooling is too limiting. In this age, there are many other exciting and high-impact learning opportunities for teachers that extend beyond traditional notions of schooling. When we hear the phrase “professional development,” certain practices likely come to mind, things like in-services and conferences. In the digital age, there are countless other opportunities for professional development and restricting one’s thoughts to just a few options limits our insight into what is possible for our students. With that in mind, here is a brainstorm of 20 options available to educators today. This is far from an exhaustive list, but it is enough to start exploring the possibilities. Feel free to suggest others in a comment to this post.
Professional development for teachers themselves, as personalities, adult people, universally, independently from schooling is very interesting idea, humanistic , and useful for school eventually
…to help another person understand why something is worth understanding.
…to help another person responsibly use what they know.
…to artfully connect students and content in authentic contexts.
…to cause change.
…to cognitively agitate.
…that relationships with children are the bedrock for everything else.
…to be able to see individual faces, needs, opportunities, and affections where others see a classroom of students.
…that you should always know the difference between what you taught and what they learned.
…to model curiosity.
…that students will likely never forget you (or that one thing you said, the time you lost your temper, how you made them feel, etc.)
…to know what it actually means to “understand.”
…to create a need for students to reorganize and repack their intellectual baggage.
…to self-critique your own biases, blind spots, and other “broken perceptions”
…to make dozens of crucial decisions on the fly not per day or class but per minute.
…that you’re going to be needed every second of every day in some important way.
…to adjust the timing, general ‘form’, and complexity of a given content so that it seems ‘just in time, just enough, and just for me’ for each student.
…to help students play with complex ideas in pursuit of self-knowledge and personal change.
…to be able to create an awesome lesson plan and unit–and to know when and why to ditch that plan and unit.
…to know the difference between teaching content and teaching thought.
…that you need to know your content well enough to teach any concept, skill, or standard within it 20+ different ways.
…that you’re going to work closely with people that will think differently than you, and learning to bridge those gaps with diplomacy could make or break your happiness
…to help students transfer understanding of academic content to authentic circumstances.
…to accept certain failure.
…to be a lifelong learner yourself.
…to disrupt social imbalances, inequities, and knowledge and skill gaps
…to confront your own weaknesses (technology, pedagogy, content, collaboration, organization, communication, etc.)
…to really, truly change the world (for the better or the worse).
…that you’re going to need a lot of help from everyone.
…to operate under unclear terms for success.
…to explain, model, and connect.
…to change, change, change.
…that in terms of sheer mathematical probability, you’re not going to be teaching for more than five years (if you’ve already passed that, congratulations!)
…that your ‘comfort zone’ no longer matters.
…your teaching program probably didn’t prepare you well (e.g., your ability to empathize and engage and design are more important than anything else you learned in said program).
WHAT Are THE Skills Needed From Students In The Future!? OR, WHAT Are THE Jobs Look Like In The Future!? That are actually questions which I get asked very often from people and where I could ask ONLY the first one! WHAT Are THE Skills Needed From Students In The Future!? Well, there is one well renown personWHO explains it BEST in my opinion, and that is Howard GARDNER.
When writing an IEP for a student, are you considering their career path- especially if they are at the secondary level? School social workers teach these skills everyday. Are they appropriately identified and articulated?
Through my experiences and after questioning other educators, I have determined that your ability to collaborate effectively is influenced by many factors-
Previous experience
Growth mindset
School context
Time
Personality
Insecurity
Perceived value of collaboration
Understanding of collaboration-what it is and isn’t.
Appreciation of others
Learning philosophy
Balanced Contribution
Belief in a common goal
Autonomy or Interdependence- Seeing yourself as ‘we’ not just ‘me'

Why haven't education reform efforts amounted to much? Because they start with the wrong problem, says John Abbott, director of the 21st Century Learning Initiative. Overhauling the educational paradigm means replacing the metaphor — the concept of the world and its inhabitants as machine-like entities — that has shaped the education system, as well as many other aspects of our culture.
Creating “Collaborative Learning Communities”
“It is essential to view learning as a total community responsibility,” he says, and to expect no short cuts. Children need to be integrated, fully contributing members of the broader community, so they can feel useful and valued. (It is not just the children who need this, he adds; healthy communities also need children.)
.
On a practical level, the most powerful lever for change, Abbott says, is people coming together to “rethink the role of community in the learning process,” agreeing how to divide up responsibilities among professional teachers and other community members, and then launching small pilot projects that are true to their new vision. These efforts will build on each other, he says, and large-scale change will follow.
Morality (from the Latin "manner, character, proper behavior") is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong). The philosophy of morality is ethics. A moral code is a system of morality (according to a particular philosophy, religion, culture, etc.)
