Good Teachers May Not Fit the Mold - Educational Leadership - 0 views

  • "subject matter knowledge contributes to good teaching only up to a certain point, beyond which it does not seem to have an impact" (p. 37).
  • Good teachers must know their subjects well, but having doctoral-level knowledge of Freudian interpretations of Victorian literature, for example, doesn't really improve someone's ability to teach language arts to 8th graders.
  • Knowledge of how to teach their subject areas
  • They found that although content knowledge is essential, teachers who also possess strong pedagogical content knowledge are more effective than those with content knowledge alone.
  • strong pedagogical content knowledge

  • common metrics for hiring and rewarding teachers are only weakly linked to student success.
  • Traditional licensure or credentials.
  • "little rigorous evidence that [teacher certification] is systematically related to student achievement"
  • Yet the study detected no before-and-after effects—that is, teachers appeared no more effective after undergoing the grueling certification process than before it (Clotfelter, Ladd, & Vigdor, 2007).
  • Advanced degrees.

Project Based Learning - Explained: A Custom Video Project with BIE - Common Craft - Ou... - 7 views

  •  
    When people ask about the inspiration for our style of videos, I often say that our videos reflect the way that I wish I had learned in school. My learning style wasn't a good match for the way I was taught. Recently we completed a custom video project with the Buck Institute for Education (BIE) that focuses on a Project Based Learning or "PBL", and boy did it open my eyes. I can now see that I needed teachers who put PBL to work. I needed to get up from my desk and engage. I needed to work on a real-world issue and use creativity and problem solving - what are known as 21st century skills these days. This video is an introduction to PBL and how it impacted a science teacher's students and helped their community.

Over my 35-year career as a public school teacher and educator at Expeditionary Learning, I have been obsessed with collecting student work of remarkable quality and value.

    It is great that people have so many possibilities to learn today.
  •  
    Though a lot of people still think that online education has cons (maybe it is partially true), I personally find it to be very effective. The biggest advantage for me is that students have the freedom to juggle their careers and school because they aren't tied down to a fixed schedule. It also so happened that I worked with the guys from https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay-examples/art/ and wrote an article on the topic. If done correctly, online classes can be as effective as regular school classes, even more for some students. The scientists concluded that distance learning is efficient with a quality curriculum in combination with the right method of education and pedagogical approach.

    Do you usually do your homework on your own? I'm in my first year of university, and there are subjects I can't understand, and I need help with my assignments.

    I am not very interested in history and therefore I would rather order a term paper than write it myself. You can also see details and order your own paper. It greatly simplifies my life and adds more free time. That is why I order there not the first and not the last time. Everything is always of high quality and on time.

      Digital storytelling - ICT for learning - 20 views

      •  
        When first I heard the expression 'digital storytelling' I understood it to refer to fictional writing. At the time I believe it did but now it covers all manner of writing and what have we always got our children to do to demonstrate learning? Retell what they have been taught. This doesn't necessarily move us far along Bloom's Taxonomy so what's the alternative? Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) have presented a reworking of Bloom that is suited to an age where material is deconstructed and reconstructed i.e. mashed. Creating, that 21 century skill, is at the apex.

        I really like Diving Questions. In fact, I like them so much more then Essential Questions. You might ask why? I think it just might be my affection for the revised Bloom's Taxonomy. You may remember that in the revision the different levels were changed into action. In fact, I strongly believe that learning is a verb and is based on action. Take away the word "Question" and Driving is a verb loaded with action. The word "Essential" standing alone is only a word devoted to describing… a colorful but inactive adjective.

      FAQs - EMS Fitness Time - 0 views

      •  
        Most Frequent Questions And Answers FAQs HOW DOES EMS WORK? EMS training at Fitness Time is a full body workout that doesn't only target one specific muscle group. During EMS training, up to 90% of muscles are activated simultaneously and the muscle contractions are of higher quality and more intense than a voluntary exertion can do alone. Compared to conventional weight training, EMS training activates deeper muscle groups leading to better balance amongst the muscles in the body and increased core stability. Fitness Time EMS devices are able to stimulate multiple muscle groups simultaneously, allowing for a repeated activation of the whole body. You'll always do your EMS training under the guidance of a personal trainer who can activate eight muscle groups individually (such as the lower back, stomach, biceps and gluts) according to your goals and needs. CAN I LOSE WEIGHT WITH EMS? Yes. In the first phase of the training, you will lose centimeters and in the second phase, fat depots are attacked. Due to the increased muscle activity, you will also burn more calories. EMS training is a perfect complement to a dietary change in order to support weight-loss effectively. CAN ANYONE DO IT? The EMS system is designed for any age and body type, from young sportsmen to older people looking for help with mobility and fitness. SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT ANY CONTRAINDICATION BEFORE PRACTICING EMS TRAINING? Certain medical conditions are known to be contraindications and EMS training with Fitness Time is not recommended in certain cases. For some medical conditions, a doctor's consent might be needed and suitability for the training needs to be assessed on an individual case-to-case basis. Medical conditions*requiring assessment include the following: - Circulatory disorders, acute stroke, stent, thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases (i.e. arteriosclerosis). - Bleeding, bleeding tendency or hemophilia. - Diabetes mellifluous. - Abdominal wall hernia or inguinal herni
