Briefly, the Flipped Classroom as described by Jonathan Martin is: Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. Classrooms become laboratories or studios, and yet content delivery is preserved. Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating.

Educators interested in “flipping” their classroom (that is, providing traditional lecture material for review at home and problem-solving exercises in the classroom) now have two more options to provide core content with a minimum of effort. Yesterday TED announced TED-Ed, a service designed to “capture and amplify the voice of the world’s greatest teachers.” In addition to hosting the videos, TED-Ed works with educators to review lessons and ensure they are less than 10 minutes. After the educator records and uploads the audio/video, TED-Ed works with animators to create story reels for each lesson, reports say. (For a complete rundown of TEDed, see video below.) Also this week, Kahn Academy announced a new iPad app. In a shot across the bow of traditional textbook publishers, this repackaging of existing Khan Academy content provides downloaded videos, subtitles, and progress tracking (requires a khanacademy.org account.)

TZM Education | Educating For The Future. Review: The Spirit Level by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett. We are rich enough. Economic growth has done as much as it can to improve material conditions in the developed countries, and in some cases appears to be damaging health. If Britain were instead to concentrate on making its citizens' incomes as equal as those of people in Japan and Scandinavia, we could each have seven extra weeks' holiday a year, we would be thinner, we would each live a year or so longer, and we'd trust each other more. The Spirit Level : Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett Epidemiologists Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett don't soft-soap their message. The authors point out that the life-diminishing results of valuing growth above equality in rich societies can be seen all around us. Wilkinson, a public health researcher of 30 years' standing, has written numerous books and articles on the physical and mental effects of social differentiation.
There are times when the book feels rather too overwhelmingly grim. No Contest. No Contest, which has been stirring up controversy since its publication in 1986, stands as the definitive critique of competition. Drawing from hundreds of studies, Alfie Kohn eloquently argues that our struggle to defeat each other -- at work, at school, at play, and at home -- turns all of us into losers. Contrary to the myths with which we have been raised, Kohn shows that competition is not an inevitable part of "human nature. " It does not motivate us to do our best (in fact, the reason our workplaces and schools are in trouble is that they value competitiveness instead of excellence.)
Rather than building character, competition sabotages self-esteem and ruins relationships. It even warps recreation by turning the playing field into a battlefield. No Contest makes a powerful case that "healthy competition" is a contradiction in terms. Changing Education Paradigms. Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution! Sugata Mitra shows how kids teach themselves. Statistical First Releases. Current Announcements Announcement of the Discontinuation of the 'Behaviour in Schools in England' statistical release.
The Department usually publishes a Statistical Release entitled "Behaviour in Schools in England" in April each year. This release covers information on behaviour judgements from Ofsted inspections and shows the latest judgement for each school inspected as at December in the preceding year. However, under new transparency arrangements, Ofsted are now publishing these data on their website and will be doing so each quarter, as follows, December, March, June and September.
Each release will show the latest position at the end of the previous quarter. The information previously available in the DfE Statistical Release "Behaviour in Schools in England" can now be found in Table 3 in the Official statistics: Maintained school inspections and outcomes publication (Maintained Key Findings) and underlying data, available via the Ofsted website.
Previous Announcements. Sfr14-2011la. Engaging the disengaged: messages from across Europe. Thesis - Barriers to education for students attending... NASS | Home. SEN funding - About the Department. Date requested: 23 June 2010 Publish date: 28 June 2010 Updated: 11 January 2011 Request Can the Department provide data pertaining to the cost of fees/education for SEN pupils in: full-time specialist schools - private or state support in mainstream schools - private or state residential versus day care.
Release There is a wide variation in the cost of funding for individual pupils as it is dependent upon the individual needs of a child. For pupils placed in non-maintained special schools or independent schools the question of the fees to be paid are a matter between the LA responsible for maintaining the child’s statement and the school at which the child is placed. Funding is delegated to LAs who determine how to distribute the funding in accordance with their own local funding formula agreed in consultation with their schools’ forum.

Exploring the Khan Academy’s use of Learning Data and Learning Analytics. More than just a popular producer of excellent tutorials, Khan Academy is also leveraging data to enable teachers to assess progress and focus on individual student needs. I’ve been intending to learn more about how the Khan Academy is incorporating learning data and analytics into their tool set for a while now, and this weekend I did.
Come on along and see what they have to offer! On the off chance that you haven’t heard about the Khan Academy yet, it’s a free web site where students can access thousands of tutorial videos covering hundreds of subjects. The site is becoming a premier teaching and learning resource for educators and students, and their work was recently featured in this “60 Minutes” piece. The site has delivered over 140,000,000 video lessons (these numbers climb at an amazing rate – the total is displayed on the home page and leaps forward with each refresh), and the capabilities that they offer teachers, schools, and students evolve steadily.
