  • In 1970, the U.S. had the highest rates of high school graduation in the world, now it has one of the lowest.
  • now around 75 percent, which puts America 23rd out of 28 countries surveyed.
  • They are mentors, coaches, motivators, and lifelong sources of inspiration to their students.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • 'drop out'
  • high schools every day, close to 1.5 million a year.
  • According to one estimate, if the numbers of young people leaving school early could be cut by 50 percent, the net gain to the U.S. economy from savings in social programs and gains in additional tax revenues could be around $90 billion a year - that's almost $1 trillion in just over ten years.
  • 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.

  • Teaching is an art form. Great teachers know they have to cultivate curiosity, passion and creativity in their students.
  • achievement soars when teachers fire the imaginations of their students with a true spirit of inquiry.
  • All students have their own stories, motivations and circumstances and teachers have to connect with them personally.
  • "Everyone has a story," she says. "Everyone has a struggle and everyone needs help along the way."
  • We have millions of young people walking away from education, he says. But "right now, we could save them all," if we're prepared to innovate fundamentally and not just do more of the same.
  • "Every child," she says, "deserves a champion who will never give up on them... and insists they become the best they can possibly be."
  • give them the creative freedom to innovate and do their jobs within a proper framework of public accountability.
  • There are those who say that we can't afford to personalize education to every student. The fact is that we can't afford not to.

      Russia and Syria are culturally connected.
  • "It's important for us to recognize that when over 1,000 people are killed, including hundreds of innocent children, through the use of a weapon that 98 or 99 percent of humanity says should not be used even in war, and there is no action, then we're sending a signal that that international norm doesn't mean much," Obama said. "And that is a danger to our national security."

    How old were you in 1994? Consider at what an early age children today begin learning about the internet, email, websites, YouTube, smart phones, iPods, tablets, etc.

  • Today, children are going online at an increasingly young age; therefore this book aims at introducing concepts of modern technology in their daily vocabulary and activities. Whilst this activity book offers children from 4 to 8 years of age 30 pages of fun and games, it also leads them to sharpen their basic language and mathematical, social and cultural skills. It gives them a glimpse of the impact modern technology can have on their everyday life. Above all it offers an opportunity for parents and teachers to sit together with their children and discuss these important issues. Although the activity book was created in such a way that young children can enjoy and do the games alone, many of the exercises do have a deeper level. The booklet endeavours to encourage parents and teachers to talk about topics such as privacy and modern technology with their children and pupils starting from a very young age as these issues undoubtedly already play an important role in their lives. The table on page 4 offers parents and teachers an overview of the themes that are touched upon and the exercises that go with them. Additional information can be found at www.saferinternet.org. We encourage you to read these guidelines as they will provide more sample information about the pedagogical objectives behind each game and the messages the children will hopefully pick up
