E-Learning-Inclusivo (Mashup)

The future of education is digital. We live in an increasingly digital world, where technology is a part of our lives in so many ways. Now more than ever, it is crucial that we incorporate digital technology into education. To prepare students for higher education and future jobs, we must ensure that they are familiar with technology. Administrators who want to prepare their K-12 school for the future of education should look at the ways they use technology in the classroom. Schools that are future-ready are those that blend technology with learning seamlessly and include technology in nearly every lesson.”

I just shared my thoughts on the future of education, but what do my peers think? To find out, we decided to produce an expert roundup on the topic of the future of education. We asked 106 education experts to answer one question: “What are your thoughts on the future of education?” In part 1 of this series, we will focus on the future of K-12.

Good to see critical thinking so high up the list.

Today’s global employers are searching for employees that have specific skills. Those skills may not be the same needed in 10 years though. In 2009, the US Department of Labor estimated 65% of today’s school children would eventually be employed in jobs that have yet to be created. The number is far higher today. The influx of technology is what has changed the shape of education forever. For this reason, schools must create opportunities for students to engage in higher level thinking skills and experience 21st century skills while using technology.

In her early teaching years, Wanny Hersey learned how hands-on projects—which would eventually become known as “making”— could engage and motivate her English students like nothing she’d seen before. She’d witnessed the heartbreak of watching a one-size-fits-all education system fail to engage students who needed it most. And the joy of nurturing students’ natural desire to solve problems and create.

Design thinking gives purpose to making. It's a problem-solving, action-oriented, human-centered process that we engage in to assist our students in their journeys as makers.

These experiences as a teacher and administrator inspired her to found Bullis Charter school—with both her past and future students in mind. The award winning K-8 public school is focused on design thinking, making, and project-based learning—all of which Wanny believes engage children, and grow their natural curiosity.

Wanny spoke to EdSurge about how making builds empathy, why it’s important to compensate teachers for continuously learning, and her advice for administrators who want to drive change through design thinking.

Highly qualified and competent teachers are fundamental for equitable and effective education systems. Teachers today are facing higher and more complex expectations to  help students reach their full potential and become valuable members of 21st century society. The nature and variety of these demands imply that teachers, more than ever before, must be professionals who make decisions based on a robust and updated knowledge base.

This publication presents research and ideas from multiple perspectives on pedagogical knowledge - the knowledge of teaching and learning - and the changing nature of the teaching profession. It provides a modern account of teachers’ professional competence, and how this relates to student learning. The report looks at knowledge dynamics in the teaching profession and investigates how teachers’ knowledge can be measured. It provides precious insights into 21st century demands on teacher knowledge.

This volume also offers a conceptual base for a future empirical study on teachers’ knowledge. It will be a useful resource for those interested in understanding the different factors underlying high quality teaching through examining and outlining the complexity of the teaching profession. In particular, this publication will be of interest to teacher educators, educational leaders, policy makers and the research community.

Les responsables du portail européen des données ouvertes (European Data Portal: www.europeandataportal.eu), exploité par la Commission européenne, viennent de publier les résultats de leur analyse 2017 sur l’état d’avancement des pays de l’Union européenne dans le domaine de l’open data.

Le Luxembourg a obtenu un excellent résultat. Son score le classe à la 6e place et lui permet de figurer dorénavant parmi les trendsetters européens dans ce domaine.

Dans cette évaluation, de nombreux facteurs ont été pris en compte, notamment l’existence d’une coordination au niveau national, l’application du principe de licences attribuées, la multitude thématique des jeux de données publiés ainsi que leur qualité, la transposition des directives européennes y afférentes et la mise en œuvre d’une stratégie nationale.

Les experts ont relevé comme un des points forts le portail national luxembourgeois www.data.public.lu qui, en dépit de sa mise en ligne encore récente – il n’a été lancé qu’en 2016 –, a déjà réussi à s’imposer comme une plate-forme centrale générale des données ouvertes pour le Grand-Duché.

À côté de la réforme de l’examen et du diplôme de fin d’études, la valorisation des compétences numériques des adolescents constitue l’une des principales nouveautés qui seront introduites dans l’enseignement secondaire à compter de cette nouvelle année scolaire.

Tout comme pour l’accueil de la petite enfance, le préscolaire et le fondamental, une série de réformes entrera en vigueur au niveau de l’enseignement secondaire à compter de la rentrée scolaire de ce vendredi.

Axées sur une plus grande autonomie des lycées, pour une meilleure prise en compte de l’hétérogénéité des élèves, ces réformes tendent à diversifier l’offre scolaire pour multiplier les chances de réussite de chaque adolescent.

Des digital leaders à former

Toujours dans le cadre du numérique, le ministère a également lancé le label «Future Hub» pour valoriser les lycées qui s’ouvrent aux technologies et à un apprentissage innovant dans le domaine des sciences, de la technologie, de l’ingénierie et des mathématiques.

Pour obtenir ce label, ces lycées doivent préparer les adolescents à la diversité des métiers du secteur des TIC grâce à des supports et des méthodes pédagogiques adaptées.

Get Challenged

A PLN is not necessarily a group of like-minded individuals. If that were the case, you wouldn’t be seeking out other opinions in the first place because it’s likely you already have a group of people in your life who feel and think exactly the same way as you.

PLNs provide you with people who have different viewpoints on hot topic issues and, if they’ve been vetted beforehand, have a wealth of knowledge, credentials, and research to back up their arguments.

As educators, sometimes we haven’t fixed the problem because we keep using the same method to solve it. A student is struggling with math and we send them to the same tutor, or explain it the same way, or use the same software. Sometimes we need someone to come in and point us in the opposite direction before a solution is found.

Teacher professional learning is of increasing interest as one way to support the increasingly complex skills students need to learn in preparation for further education and work in the 21st century. Sophisticated forms of teaching are needed to develop student competencies such as deep mastery of challenging content, critical thinking, complex problem-solving,

effective communication and collaboration, and self-direction. In turn, effective professional development (PD) is needed to help teachers learn and refine the pedagogies required to teach these skills. However, research has shown that many PD initiatives appear ineffective in supporting changes in teacher practices and student learning. Accordingly, we set out to discover the features of effective PD.

This paper reviews 35 methodologically rigorous studies that have demonstrated a positive link between teacher professional development, teaching practices, and student outcomes. We identify the features of these approaches and offer rich  descriptions of these models to inform those seeking to understand the nature of the initiatives.
