  • One of the themes of TEDTalks Education is that current policies are based on a tragic misdiagnosis of the problem. They treat education as an industrial process rather than as a human one. They are driven by a culture of testing and standardization that has narrowed the curriculum and sees students as data points and teachers as functionaries rather than as living breathing people.
  • To improve our schools, we have to humanize them and make education personal to every student and teacher in the system.
  • The key to personalizing education is to invest properly in the professional development of educators. As Bill Gates argues, teachers need mentors too.

  • give them the creative freedom to innovate and do their jobs within a proper framework of public accountability.

      In my high school the teachers would use the smart boards very interactively. Such as in physics and math, the teacher would have lessons prepared and saved on the smart board and then have questions through out the lesson for students to come up and do. This way the teacher could see if we were understanding the lesson throughout it. It was kind of like immediate feedback for a teacher and student because the student would also get to see the correct answer immediately after they did the problem.

The Educational Technology Minor gives them one more way to demonstrate their teaching skills. The Instructional Technology graduate degree program creates opportunities in classrooms and in the business community."

    Quality science education is based on standards that are rich in content and practice, with aligned curricula, pedagogy, assessment, and teacher preparation and development. It has been nearly 15 years since the National Research Council and the American Association for Advancement in Science produced the seminal documents on which most state standards are based. Since that time, major advances in science and our understanding of how students learn science have taken place and need to be reflected in state standards. The time is right to forge Next Generation Science Standards.
