New Jersey has sought to waive basic skills requirements and ease unnecessary barriers for educators to attract more teachers at a time when fewer young people are completing teacher education training programs. It is believed that the shortage will only get worse and districts will need to tap into a pipeline that increasingly includes more teachers who find their way through alternate teaching programs, which allow those who have not completed a teacher preparation program to obtain a certificate of eligibility. They still must meet the basic requirements for certification such as academic study and test requirements. For the 2022-23 school year, there were 3,644 teachers in New Jersey who completed an alternate route program, more than double the amount for the 2019-20 school year, according to the latest statistics available from NJDOE. In addition, 4,309 provisional certificates were issued for that time period. https://lnkd.in/eveu8e9U

In Pennsylvania as in much of the country, the teacher shortage is growing. Capital Area Intermediate Unit (CAIU)—one of 29 educational service agencies in Pennsylvania—is tackling the problem head on with an innovative program for its member school districts. Now, thanks to CAIU’s Capital Area Pathways to Teaching Program, over 50 future educators (and more to come) are on the path to fill critical classroom vacancies by earning their education degrees and certifications on the job.

Adult education changes lives!

A warm welcome to our new Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson. Here’s hoping that she can do a far better job than the previous incompetent rabble who have taken childhood and teaching into a cup-de-sac… So, what should her priorities be if the opportunity for reform is going to be truly seized? Well, for starters: Put Ofsted in its current form in to the shredder and end the nonsense of league tables, combative inspections, and political dogma of academisation that runs deeply within its corridors. Replace it with a system that seeks to support and shape the development of teaching and learning, and works in a multi-agency way to tackle the social inequalities that impact on so many of our children. Bin the phonics screening check in year 1 and re-instate a revised free version of Letters and Sounds to end the unbridled capitalisation and manipulation of early reading by Big Corps Phonics. Transform teacher training standards so that programmes include content focused on psychology, philosophy, social theory, art history, cinematography and POC history, so that teachers are liberated from delivery mode and can return to creative teaching and have a greater political understanding of their children’s experiences. Food banks exist for a reason… Put the National Curriculum into a kitchen blender and rid childhood of the Michael Gove Experience that has brought so much suffering to children, and replace it with a curriculum deeply embedded in play, creativity, the joy of story and maths, and movement. It is not difficult to give children a childhood that they deserve… Burn SATs to the ground and end the culture of education done to children. An inherently meaningless test of children that is rooted in Victorian values. We need to hold schools to account, but not to see if they are still stuck in 1895. What we need is imagination. What we need is someone who understands how it feels to be five years old. We need more play, not less. We need more joy, not drudgery. All eyes on Bridget Phillpson, then. Let’s go… 👧🏻👦🏾not🤖🤖

Some big changes are needed but who says they can’t be done!?💭💛🌱🌍 Love this challenging and insightful post from Greg Bottrill and am very much in agreement with what could help to release our education system so it can breath again with new life! The other thing I’d love to see is a bigger focus on foundational wellbeing in early years education (In the UK Personal, Social and Emotional Development is a ‘prime area’ - Literacy and Numeracy are not and yet how often is the latter the main focus of a setting over and above the former!?). Relationship and connection matters and must come first before curriculum. It’s my belief that when we free up educators to focus on child wellbeing first, out of that place of strength and solid foundations (a La Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs) comes that academic progress and self actualisation. Let’s hope with change comes the potential for bold new leadership that reaches across the political aisle to make brave and better decisions for the long term benefit of our children and broader education communities as a whole🤞💛🌱🌍 #education #schools #earlyyears #eyfs #teachers #schoolleaders #futureofeducation #government #policy #wellbeing #childrensmentalhealth #ukgovernment Department for Education, The Labour Party

#snsinstitution #snsdesignthinkers #Designthinking Education Education is the transmission of knowledge, skills, and character traits and manifests in various forms. Formal education occurs within a structured institutional framework, such as public schools, following a curriculum. Non-formal education also follows a structured approach but occurs outside the formal schooling system, while informal education entails unstructured learning through daily experiences. Formal and non-formal education are categorized into levels, including early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, and tertiary education. Other classifications focus on teaching methods, such as teacher-centered and student-centered education, and on subjects, such as science education, language education, and physical education. Additionally, the term "education" can denote the mental states and qualities of educated individuals and the academic field studying educational phenomena. Education is a wide phenomenon that applies to all age groups and covers formal education (top row) as well as non-formal and informal education
