5 myths about teachers that are distracting policymakers - The Answer Sheet - The Washington Post - 111 views

  • Political leaders at every level are demanding we evaluate and pay teachers based on student test scores and value-added statistical formulas. If that turns out to be a bad strategy, the long-term ramifications for the nation could be staggering.

    "Now's the time to transcend the usual debates over how to make our schools better and our teachers more effective - and break free of the myths that keep us fighting 20th century battles. Instead we need to look hard at the realities, framed by research evidence as well as the challenges teachers face everyday"

  •  
    Editor's Note: John Larmer is the Director of Product Development at the Buck Institute for Education. Many teachers and administrators -- not to mention the general public -- might have the wrong impression of PBL. Maybe they have stereotypical views of what a "project" is, or they've seen poor examples of it in the past.

      I agree with everything, but the "free" part. Haven't we all heard the saying, "you get what you pay for?" The best textbook I know about is Campbell's Biology. It was written by tons of experts in the field. Did they all volunteer to write it? Shouldn't experts be compensated for their time in the creation of quality textbook content? I know we would all like everything to be free, but writing (or producing audio or video) GOOD content takes skill and expertise. Are all these people supposed to do this for free? I just don't understand the idea behind this.

iPad in every TEACHER'S hand | Opening Doors and Turning On Lights - 123 views

  • he portability of the iPad means that I can easily take this to meet with my colleagues or administration and not have to worry about hauling a laptop and cords around with me.
  •  
    I have been in on conversations about the validity and affordability of setting up every student with an iPad or other tablets. I always have advocated for devices like these in the classroom, the ones our students will be using in their near futures (or for many, right now!). What I noticed the more I played with it was that it really could serve teachers in a large number of ways.

Comment le Royaume-Uni risque de perdre davantage en ayant triplé les frais universitaires | Le grand amphi - 1 views

  • Mais le taux d’impayés est récemment grimpé à 45 % au lieu des 28% à 30% prévus lorsque la réforme a été adoptée
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Les opportunités gagnées par le gouvernement étaient claires. L'internalisation d'un coût supplémentaire par les étudiants représentaient des coûts évités en se transformant en actifs financiers sous forme de prêts à très long termes accordés aux étudiants. Le risque est que ces prêts ne soient pas remboursés et qu'ils faillent transformer une partie de ces créances (45%) en charges (pertes sur créances irrécouvrables).
  • Le gouvernement a, dans le même temps, réduit de 40 % ses subventions à ces établissements et promis aux étudiants des prêts à taux avantageux, d’une durée maximale de trente ans, garantis par l’Etat
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      L'abondement des prêts par le gouvernment britannique est la contrepartie de la diminution des subventions aux établissements créant ainsi des besoins de financement qui seront financés par les frais de scolarité augmentés.
  • apprend que le service d’Etat chargé de recouvrer lesdits paiements est assez peu outillé et efficace
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Une partie des coûts de financement de l'éducation évité est compensé par l'accroissement des coûts de recouvrement de ces prêts.

  • Un effet pourtant bien prévisible et néfaste de la forte augmentation des frais d’inscription est la baisse, en 2012-2013, du nombre d’étudiants : -5,5 %, soit 27 000 nouveaux étudiants de moins qu’en 2011-2012
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      De manière assez prévisible, la hausse des prix de l'éducation fait diminuer la demande. Quelle est dans ces conditions l'évolution de la marge contributive réalisée par les universités qui doivent couvrir des coûts fixes élevés.
  • de « full cost », qui consiste à faire payer aux étudiants le coût réel de leur enseignement
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Il me semble que puisque le gouvernement britannique subventionne encore, bien que dans une proportion moindre, les universités, on ne peut prétendre qu'il s'agit d'une "expérimentation grandeur nature du concept de full cost"
