What if Finland's great teachers taught in U.S. schools? - The Washington Post - 0 views

  • In many under-performing nations, I notice, three fallacies of teacher effectiveness prevail.
  • The first belief is that “the quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers.”
  • The second fallacy is that “the most important single factor in improving quality of education is teachers.” 
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The third fallacy is that “If any children had three or four great teachers in a row, they would soar academically, regardless of their racial or economic background, while those who have a sequence of weak teachers will fall further and further behind”.
  • Lessons from high-performing school systems, including Finland, suggest that we must reconsider how we think about teaching as a profession and what is the role of the school in our society.
  • First, standardization should focus more on teacher education and less on teaching and learning in schools.
  • Second, the toxic use of accountability for schools should be abandoned.
  • Third, other school policies must be changed before teaching becomes attractive to more young talents.

These eleven-year-olds have created a device that could help prevent bullying - 7 views

  •  
    "IF YOU CAN think back to what you were doing when you were eleven-years-old, the chances are that demoing your own tech product in front of thousands wasn't one of them, but that was the case for these five students. The product in question was BullyBug, a wristband that aims to reduce bullying. When a child presses a button on the wristband, it sends an alert to the teacher's phone via its app. The teacher can later sit down with the child and help solve the problem. The idea was conceived by five 5th class students from St. Audoen's National School in Dublin city centre: Katelyn O'Connell, Chloe Long, Ben Hughes, Nadine Costello, and Daniel McCann."
