Western Heights Public Schools’ Post

The issue with the current reform of the school year proposal is that there is a lack of evidence that making such a change, right now, will have any educational benefit to learners. At a time with such challenges facing schools - funding, recruitment and retention, delivery of existing reforms like ALN - this simply isn’t a priority for school leaders. NAHT Cymru is committed to engaging in any discussions on proposals that benefit children and young people, but decisions that have such far reaching implications beyond the school gates need to be taken carefully. https://lnkd.in/eKUTpvkU

BREAKING: Australian Secondary Education Takes a Major Step Forward! We are delighted to share that the New South Wales Secondary Principals’ Council (NSWSPC) and the Victorian Association of State Secondary Principals (VASSP) have rejoined ASPA. This historic reunification marks the first time in a decade that all state and territory public secondary school principals’ associations are united through a single national peak body. This unification ensures a cohesive and powerful voice for the leaders of our nation's future – the principals of more than 2200 government secondary and combined schools, who tirelessly serve over one million students. With ASPA's strengthened national influence, the association will be championing: - Needs-based funding to achieve 100% of the Schooling Resource Standard. - Capital investment to rejuvenate ageing school infrastructure. - Research on social segregation in schools and its impact. - Pioneering discussions on the evolution of secondary schooling. - National strategies for principal health, safety, and wellbeing. - Support and sustainability for current and future school leaders. ASPA President Andy Mison emphasized the power of unity, stating that principals now have a "stronger advocate in their corner." NSWSPC President Craig Petersen and VASSP President Colin Axup echoed this sentiment, highlighting the enhanced support and influence this will bring to their communities. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdg3Unbr NSW Secondary Principals Council Victorian Association of State Secondary Principals (VASSP) Andy Mison #EducationLeadership #ASPA #PublicEducation #SecondarySchools #Australia

Probablemente esta sea una visión acorde con lo que estuvimos discutiendo en el Grupo de Trabajo sobre Escuelas sobre Infraestructuras y Espacios de Aprendizaje Sostenibles, celebrado el pasado mes de julio de 2023 en Madrid, en el que tuve el placer de ser invitado por el Ministerio de Educación, España . Esta actividad, con funcionarios de diferentes ministerios de educación a lo largo y ancho de la UE, así como de personalidades referentes en el campo de la educación, proponía, entre otras cuestiones, unos diseños no solo respetuosos con el medio ambiente, sino también en conexión con nociones relativas a aprendizaje socioemocional y nuevos usos sostenibles de espacios educativos más verdes, frente a la multitud de asfalto que puebla muchos de nuestros centros educativos, proponiendo soluciones a diferente nivel y evitando las llamadas islas de calor o una mejor canalización de agua de lluvia que evite inundaciones extremas, entre otras consideraciones.

#WalthamForestCollege is London borough of Waltham Forest’s first ‘outstanding' #FurtherEducation provider in 2024. This is a better than anyone moment for the college. The college is one among only 15 such colleges in the whole of England. Its extra ordinary achievement also confirm emphatically that Waltham Forest college is a provider who takes students from all backgrounds and give them exceptionally #HighQualityEducation. What is more, achieving outstanding grade in Ofsted inspection demonstrates powerfully to families and future employers’ that teachers at the college could deliver an educational experience that prepares students for life in modern Britain. As everyone knows, getting an outstanding grade requires delicate balancing act and #superhuman level hard work, and maintaining one is even more so. Under the current Ofsted framework, it is common to see a college or school graded outstanding during one inspection cycle and be issued with a "require improvement" the next cycle. So, where does Waltham Forest College go next after such a spectacular achievement? A whole new vision and strategic direction that establishes the college as a global educational brand? That is one possibility. It could also be taken to mean seizing the moment to free teachers to design and innovate approaches that raise educational standards further while pursuing measures that prioritise the needs of both staff and students. After all, what is the purpose of education if not to change people's life and offer them hope for a better future. It is fair to say, organisations that has positive culture, centred on improving the condition of people are best placed to rise to future challenges than those who are not.

Una preocupación que nos atraviesa a todos y que necesita un fuerte replanteo a nivel social: la falta de docentes pone en peligro el ODS 4: Educación de Calidad. Se necesitarían 44 millones de nuevos docentes de primaria y secundaria para el 2030… y faltan solo 6 años.

Interesante columna sobre la sobrecarga de los profesores. Y un tema que me parece muy relevante: cuánto (o cuán poco) pueden hacer los líderes escolares por ellos.

Illinois has recently been recognized as the top state for teachers in 2024, according to Busy Bee Teachers. This accolade highlights several crucial factors contributing to a positive teaching environment, including competitive salaries, robust support systems, and access to professional development opportunities. The ranking sheds light on the importance of prioritizing teachers' needs, which can lead to improved student outcomes. In a profession often marked by challenges, such recognition may encourage more individuals to pursue teaching careers in Illinois and could influence other states to enhance their educational systems. What do you think about these findings? Have you noticed improvements in your state’s educational landscape? Share your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/eGJt6sRk

Chile has created the "Política Nacional de Convivencia Escolar", and the biggest challenge is to think about how to implement conflict resolution in our #curriculum. They seek to create a guiding framework to promote reflection and dialogue on the ways of relating on a daily basis among those who are part of an educational community; they seek to create the conditions for children, adolescents, young people and adults to learn to live together better and better, to aspire to understand and build a safer #school environment. All schools seek this. But, how to achieve it from the implementation of a curriculum? How do we emphasize conflict resolution from a formative sense? That is to say, every curriculum requires: 1. Justification; 2. Interpretative, argumentative and propositional competencies; 3. Teaching methodology; 4. Evaluation system; 5. Course content and schedule with a general objective, specific objective and expected results. So how do we do it?
