Dec Are We Still Learning What To Teach At School? Posted by in Educational games News for Parents teaching resources , tags: Educational games ict games national curriculum teach to test The UK primary school curriculum is in the throws of a massive positive update, or another upheaval depending on which way you look at it. Clearly the current system is ailing with many performance targets being missed despite the inclination to manipulate the results -inherent with any target based system. The “teach to test” syndrome is leaving children with an incredibly shallow depth of knowledge and unprepared for the ardours of the global changes that will affect their adulthood.

28. About Reader's Workshop: What If . . . | A Reader's Community What if there were just three requirements for the reading part of the national curriculum? Teach the students to read. Teach them to love reading. http://areaderscommunity.blogspot.com/2010/03/about-readers-workshop-what-if.htm

skip to main skip to sidebar A Reader's Community A Reader's Workshop Blog Wednesday, March 3, 2010 About Reader's Workshop: What if . . . This week in Australia marks the release of a draft national curriculum. The idea is that every class in Australia will learn the same things as corresponding classes in other states. (Yes there are issues with Special Education and Gifted education there, don't get me started.) There's a lot of debate and discussion going on about this. Some are suggesting that the curriculum, which is quite detailed (I now know I should be teaching direct and indirect speech in Grade 6) is actually all about testing. The more content and skills you require, the more testing can be done - allowing for more judging of teachers, schools and students. In fact, looking at the draft curriculum, I can definately see the connections to the national test (the test was supposed to be based on the curriculum but was written first). Despite what the media and the politicians want to tell us, the conversations in the staff room are not about teachers moaning because they have to teach grammar (we do, and the national results back that up), or because we're resistant to change (you try three different curriculums in 5 years and tell me how you like it). Instead there's concern that we don't have the neccessary resources (I know there's not enough Australian history books in our library for 4 grades to be studying it at the one time. And I'm not brave enough to ask the librarian about Asian literature . . .) and concern that we no longer have the space to go off on learning tangents, to learn about what fascinates the students and the teachers. One of my colleagues suggested that a national curriculum should just be a core, attracting passionate teachers to fill in the spaces.

Newspaper Collection document.cookie='MAD_FIRSTPAGE=1;path=/;domain=findarticles.com'; Business Publications Making up lost time: David Harris examines the government's failed attempts to close the UK savings gap What Investment June, 2004 by David Harris Next According to the Association of British Insurers the UK has a 27 billion [pounds sterling] annual savings gap. This is the difference between what we currently save and what we should be saving in order to have a pension equivalent to 50 per cent of our salary. Most experts believe that state pensions will decrease in real terms in the future, which means that our lack of long-term saving and financial planning is a huge problem and one that needs to be urgently addressed. And while it is true to say that the government has produced many initiatives relating to savings and pensions, the effectiveness of the initiatives seems to be diminishing in direct proportion to the number introduced! Loss of confidence It would be fair to say that the recent three-year bear market in equities is a factor in consumers' loss of confidence in savings, but there are other disincentives. For instance, the way in which increases in the basic state pension system are now calculated will ensure that more and more people are drawn into means-testing in the future. Knowing that they are likely to be means-tested creates uncertainty and cynicism regarding the benefits of saving for the future. There is little expectation that government initiatives are going to improve things. They are seen by many as cobbled together, and announced when politically expedient, rather than being part of a fully articulated savings programme and strategy.

It is by the authority conferred on them by the electorate through Westminster and, increasingly, the European pseudo-Parliament. That authority is also subject to representatives holding Brussels and Whitehall to account between elections. In the wake of the Irish "No", it is clear from the pronouncements of the European Commission and heads of government that they regard themselves as being no more bound by the electorate or by treaties than the Kaiser.

Running out the door Skip to content Home About ... Much ado about national curriculum Teach me, teach you Posted on October 7, 2010 by runningoutthedoor Leave a comment Accountants, bankers, engineers – apparently they want to be teachers. Or so the Australian Labor Party website would have you believe. The main obstacle to making the transition is the time spent back at Uni to get the teaching qualification. For some it is true. The passion is there, they’ve discovered they want to impart their knowledge and expertise to the next generations. Following in the footsteps of the Teach For Australia initiative launched in Victoria this year, based on highly successful American and UK models, the Federal Government will be unleashing Teach Next, fast-tracking new educators so that they can “quickly move into the classroom with appropriate support and start earning a wage.” Andrew Leigh talks about Teach for Australia raising the status of teachers nationwide. Apart from rigorous entrance requirements to ensure a certain quality and standard, only by significantly increasing teachers’ salaries will this really eventuate.

36. Fairbanks Daily News-Miner - The Voice Of Interior Alaska Since 1903 What would a national curriculum teach our children about arctic survival or Native culture? I am also strongly against unfunded federal mandates, of which NCLB is a prime example. http://newsminer.com/bookmark/10040747

Local Links articles ads businesses events profiles sign in U.S. Senate - Scott McAdams Fairbanks Daily News Miner 21 days ago Scott McAdams Democrat 1. Non-Native minority businesses face a cap on the size of sole-source federal contracts they can obtain, but Alaska Native corporation contracts are unlimited. The rules have helped the corporations obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts and employ thousands of shareholders, but critics say the rules cost federal taxpayers and are unfair to other companies. Should these rules be changed? Explain. I support the 8(a) contracting program and believe it to be an important economic development tool for Alaska Native corporations and the diversification of their work. Alaska Native corporations have helped accelerate the development of Alaska communities by decades. I will work to strengthen this program and ensure that any changes come from participants, not misguided outside interests. 2. Tax cuts approved in 2001 and 2003 under President Bush are set to expire at the end of this year at all income levels. Should all of the cuts be continued indefinitely? Should they be continued, as President Obama has proposed, only for households earning less than $250,000? Or do you have another idea? I support the permanent extension of tax cuts for Alaskans making under $250,000. This extension will keep money in the pockets of 98 percent of Americans and give our economy a jolt by returning Alaskans to stores. Also, allowing the richest 2 percent of Americans to pay the tax rate of the prosperous 1990s is prudent and benefits our nation’s fiscal health.
