  • Children are influenced by everything around them, the way their parents act, what their parents say and do, and increasingly as they spend more time ‘with’ celebrity figures how these role models act.
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 28 Mar 12
     
    A study by the Royal Economic Society, to be presented this week, finds that parental effect on test results is five times that of teachers' influence. This comes in the wake of warnings by Sir Michael Wilshaw last week that teachers were unable to properly do their own jobs because parents were expecting them to cover their own parenting skill shortfalls and to become surrogate family for the students.

    It all happens well before school comes into the equation. If a child grows up in a literature rich, engaging environment with adults that spend quality time giving opportunities for great learning experiences in the world, the worst teachers still can't decoy that child's enthusiasm for learning. He can always learn at home. But if the child grows up neglected, not nurtured with rich learning experiences ( and I'm not talking about helicopter parents spending every waking moment ramming study down their throats - just quality conversation and hands on experiences )l doesn't get read to or taken out to shop, teachers are fighting an uphill battle with a disengaged individual. Parents, don't wait for school teachers to teach your kids. Start straight away..

  • traditionally collected input measures — class size, per pupil expenditure, the fraction of teachers with no certification, and the fraction of teachers with an advanced degree — are not correlated with school effectiveness.
  • frequent teacher feedback, the use of data to guide instruction, high-dosage tutoring, increased instructional time, and high expectations — explains approximately 50 percent of the variation in school effectiveness

  • Colleges should not implement technology for the sake of technology;
  • When technology is deployed, make sure that it works; and
  • Faculty members need to know how to use the technology and they should actually use it.

      The potential looks great, but I found it a little confusing on the setup. Kids know how to text, so why not study too. I used a free texting app on my iPad, so I didn't even have to worry about a data plan.

    • Anything that can be learned falls broadly into two categories: things you need to understand intellectually, and skills you need to be able to perform. Most things you want to learn involve a mix of the two.
    • ee the distinction between skills and concepts, you can devise two separate learning strategies for each.
    • Rule #1: Practice for Skills, Connections for Concepts
    • ...16 more annotations...
    • Rule #2: Concepts before Facts (95% of the time)
    • Patterns make concepts useful, patternless concepts tend to have a very limited use, so they aren’t studied that much.
    • But it needs more time to mature in the back of your head while you do other things. Worse, it utterly fails when put under intense stress or time constraints.
    • Rule #4: Concept Checklists are Useful
    • Then create a second-order list under each of the larger bullet points with sub-concepts.
    • Write out (I suggest on a word document, since it allows multiple levels of bullets) all of the major concepts covered in your course.
    • Heuristics for Learning Better
    • A concept checklist is a good way to handle those scary, “I don’t understand anything!” moments that many learners face. It allows you to dissolve the frightening implications of total ignorance into a step-by-step guide that can allow you to slowly conquer any subject.
    • Tactic #1: The 5-Year Old Method
    • Tactic #2: Metaphors

    • I recommend brainstorming for metaphors. Start with open-ended questions like:

      • This idea reminds me of…?
      • This idea is used in real-life situations, such as…?
      • What phenomenon mimics this idea?
      • If I wanted to tell a story about this idea, it would go like…?
    • Tactic #3: Visceralization
    • combine smell, feeling and motion into an image, not just a picture.
    • Tactic #4: Deep Linking
    • if you know you don’t actually have to deeply learn the material, going deeper into a subject can actually make the original idea easier to understand.
