However, until the two background papers for the 1970 World Conference on Education, Cooperative International Education and The International Dimension of Education, werepublished earl-FF.11M our output in this area had been limited to special feature articles in Educational Leadership. Therefore, It is a pleasure to cap the Association's participation in the United Nations international Education Year with the publication of this report of the conference. ks the Conference Director, I am tempted to review the "making of the conference" and its potential for future cooperation. However, this is done most ably by Louise Berman in the "Introduction." Instead, let me speak of the feelings and hopes generated at the conference by adding specific testimony to that hinted at throughout the reports of the working parties which form the second part of this book. From both formal and informal evaluations, the greatest common value of the conference was reported to be an indefinable something variously described as a "warm feeling," "human understanding," or "moodful experience." Such special, personal insights into people and their relationships are difficult to communicate succinctly in print, even though the discerning reader will catch glimpses of them in the working party reports. As "father surrogate" for over 300 independently minded individuals repre- senting over 50 cultures, I found it a challenging and rewarding experience to work with the participants. They were truly representative of the family of man in microcosm.It was a family of which one could Justifiably be proud. Undoubtedly the ability of the participants to work together was greatly aided by their desire to work together. Some questioned the value of bring- ing together physical scientists, social scientists, humanists, linguists, artists, and pedagogues whose only common concern was the fostering of better education for the children of the world through improved curriculum and Instruction.This report can stand only as a partial testimony. The fullest proof was in the experience, as is true of the most %Pahl able education. Diversity of viewpoint was sought through the commissioned papers by scholars from various nations. These papers, which form Part One of this publication, will prove of interest to all who are looking for informed state- ments on issues of centralconcern to worldeducators today. Space limita- tions do not permit the inclusion of the many additional viewpoints ex- pressed as reactions to them.Nevertheless the reports of the working parties provide a valuable indication of the diversity o! opinion, working style, concerns, and drives which mobilized the participants. However, more important than the diversity is the ample evidence of the commonali- ties which enhanced communication and provided a basis for positive co- operative action. iv Forev:ord v Some fertile ideas were conceived and nourished during the meetings, Still others are now inthegerminatingor cultivating stages. It is a critical period in which individuals currently spread over the face of the globe and involved in immediate parochial concerns must struggle to maintain the momentum established several months ago. Let me encourage readers of this report to add their names to the list of Asilomar participants who have concern for continuing and greater cooperation in international education. Let me also encourage rea-iers to take the initiative and contact persons in their

Kemple [email protected] Research Alliance for New York City Schools Micha D. Segeritz [email protected] Research Alliance for New York City Schools Rachel Cole [email protected] Research Alliance for New York City Schools Section: Mathematics and Science Education in the Secondary Grades SREE Fall 2011 Conference Abstract Template SREE Fall 2011 Conference Abstract Template Abstract Body Background / Context: US students are not performing strongly in math. Only 39% of fourth graders, 34% of eighth graders, and 26% of twelfth graders performed at or above proficiency on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NCES, 2009; NCES, 2010). Progress on successive NAEP tests has been meager and racial achievement gaps persist. Internationally, the 2009 average score of US students on the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) was lower than the average score for OECD countries, despite small gains since the 2006 assessment (OECD, 2010). In the development of math skills over the course of primary and secondary education, the middle years are a key time when students’ math performance begins to lag (Lee and Fish, 2010). Increasingly educators and researchers are seeking out instructional methods that allow teachers to meet students’ individual needs (Davis, 2011). Students come to classroom with varying levels of prior understanding, needing instruction in different skills, and with diverse interests and preferred learning styles. So1 is a new, individualized, technology-rich math program being implemented in three New York City middle schools.

Using an adaptive, highly intelligent technology platform, School of One re-imagines the traditional classroom experience. Students receive a mix of live, online, and collaborative instruction that is tailored to their academic needs, interests, and learning preferences. Named by Time magazine as one of the top 50 inventions of 2009, School of One allows educators to address the individual learning requirements of high-needs students. School of One will address three competitive priorities: By increasing middle school achievement in math and by engaging students with material targeted to their own learning needs and styles, School of One will support college access and success because School of One alumni will enter ninth grade prepared for the rigors of high school mathematics, increasing their likelihood of graduating prepared for college.

  • New York School of One
    Case Study New York School of One Summary School of One is a New York City Department of Education project that aims to provide highly personalized tuition through giving each student his or her own learning playlist, and through that approach to improve learning. Technology is used to manage this process leaving teachers more time to focus on quality of education. A pilot summer school of the School of One in 2009 and in September 2010, the School of One team opened full-year programs focusing on middle school mathematics in the three New York schools in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Location New York City, U.S. Aims The School of One mission is “to provide students with personalized, effective, and dynamic classroom instruction so that teachers have more time to focus on the quality of their instruction.” A further intention is that of “innovating instructional practices to help schools better prepare students for careers in the 21st century." To achieve this mission, School of One revises traditional classroom teaching approaches. Instead of one teacher managing 25-30 students in a classroom, each student participates in his or her own daily program of learning which can include a combination of teacher-led instruction, one-on-one tutoring, independent learning, and work with virtual tutors. The current focus of the School of One project is mathematics. Description New York City Department of Education is responsible for more than 1600 schools, 1.1 million students, and an annual budget of $21 billion. Learning is supported by 80,000 teachers and there have been 335 new schools since 2002.

  • TEACHING in the MACHINE AGE: How Innovation Can Make Bad Teachers Good and Good Teachers Better
    TEACHING IN THE MACHINE AGE: How innovation can make bad teachers good and good teachers better BY THOMAS ARNETT DECEMBER 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As scientific understanding and artificial intelligence leap forward, many professions—such as law, accounting, animation, and medicine—are changing in dramatic ways. Increasingly, these advances allow non-experts and machines to perform tasks that were previously in the sole domain of experts, thus turning expert-quality work into a commodity. With new technologies displacing workers across many fields, what will be the likely impact on the teaching profession? Will machines replace teachers? Despite the hype and fear, machines are unlikely to replace teachers anytime • When expert teachers need to teach more than academic content. soon. Rather, they are poised to help overcome several structural barriers A growing body of research shows that deeper learning and that make it difficult to ensure that an effective teacher reaches every student. noncognitive skills play a significant role, alongside content mastery, in determining students’ academic and life outcomes. Innovations School systems face a number of challenges, including teacher shortages, that commoditize teacher expertise give teachers greater capacity to a lack of clear methods for developing high-quality teachers, and teacher focus on helping students develop these important skills. burnout and attrition, to name a few. And even the best teachers struggle to address the diverse learning needs of their students or find time to focus Rather than seeing technological progress as a threat, teachers and on developing students’ deeper learning and noncognitive skills amidst education leaders should take advantage of the many ways technology pressures to cover core instruction.
