Why, TODAY, a subject called Problem-solving & Decision-making doesn’t feature as a prominent subject in school? Listen up… Political parties form governments. At the helm of government is a politician. Politicians only need people who carry out their manifestos, and what they will have thought and decided upon, not other thinkers and decision-makers who could possibly upstage them. What makes the situation even worse is the fact politicians are responsible for the shaping of the education system in our countries. For this reason, Thinking, Problem-solving & Decision-making will have a hard time seeing the light of day, as an important subject in school.

To implement effective question-asking strategies, teachers should start by incorporating a variety of question types https://buff.ly/4eDUH3G

In September alone, 56,000 educators left the profession! This alarming statistic has school leaders fearful of what is to come, and unfilled positions are stretching our already diminishing resources. We have a top-heavy and complicated system that is driving out our best teachers, and we must take action. Join me as I dive into three key reasons I believe my colleagues are ditching their roles, and surprisingly, it might not be what you think it is. Want to create live streams like this?

A curriculum doesn’t only have to be for everyone. It also has to be for someone. A curriculum must not only reflect the learning journey of a group of individuals in one place or country but must reflect the learning of each INDIVIDUAL student. For this reason any curriculum must provide the GRANULARITY and FLEXIBILITY for each teacher to respond to each student’s needs every step of the learning journey. The GLOBAL SCALE OF ENGLISH now provides teachers, institutions and government services to create and run curriculums that can do this. But that is not the end of the job. These curriculums work only when teachers are trained how to use them in the classroom (curriculums are not just pieces of paper to pin to to the wall - they are living documents to be interacted with) and have the resources to make the most of them. These are the things I spend every day thinking about.

Teachers should have more autonomy in designing their curriculum and creating creative lesson Plans
