Chicago Public Schools’ Post

If you grew up struggling through school, if you have developed a perspective of education being a means to an end, if you’ve never sought out adult education simply for the fun of it, you’ve been missing out. Learning can be and should be fun for everyone. https://lnkd.in/esKeDhe #lifelonglearning #education #personalgrowth #learningisfun #educationmatters #learningthroughplay

LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER! DIR 320: DIR in Schools is BEGINNING TOMORROW! Register Here: https://lnkd.in/erq9XMeS DIR in Schools is a 3-hour live online course focused on creative ways to implement DIRFloortime in the school setting. This course will be led by two of our DIRFloortime Experts from the Rebecca School and Bank Street College of Education. Now more than ever, the principles of DIRFloortime can be useful to teachers and school personnel to support students learning. Learning can only happen if teachers and school staff support a student’s functional emotional developmental capacities (FEDCs) and when students are respected in meaningful co-regulating relationships. This course will provide instruction on how to use DIRFloortime in a school setting to support successful teaching and learning. Pre-requisite: At least DIR 101 is highly recommended.

The challenge of scheduling for intervention time is REAL whether in elementary or scondary! 😓 Read this latest #SIPPS blog to hear how it has successfully been accomplished. We must do all that we can as adults to allow for all children to become successful readers! Center for the Collaborative Classroom #literacy "This year, I am teaching SIPPS Plus to a class of 30 students who range between first and fifth grade. Within this class, students are further divided into three flexible ability groups based on how they are progressing through the mastery tests. Students in each group fall within a different sub-section of SIPPS Plus and receive targeted instruction each day." https://lnkd.in/eEuxxR5H

Building confidence is an important part of supporting children who have been out of school and have experienced learning loss. 📚 In #Nepal Street Child is grouping children according to where they're at in their learning rather than by their age, so they learn at the right pace for them. This is part of our Teaching at the Right Level program (TaRL), which increases learning achievements very quickly and consequently boosts children's confidence and interest in education. The TaRL methodology focuses on building foundational skills, compared to the traditional focus on covering a curriculum. Students are assessed regularly and moved into different groups as they progress, which means each student is getting the quality education they need 🎒🌟 #EducationMatters #InclusiveEducation

Adult Educators, please consider participating in this LINCS survey on the topic of "Supporting Parents in the Classroom". Thanks Erin Vobornik for highlighting this important topic. #AdultEducation #Resilience

I think all kindergartens, primary and secondary education systems of the underdeveloped and developing countries should incorporate life skills such as cleaning, cooking and other household chores in their school curriculum and then articulate and implement it in a safe and ethically accurate manner. Having done this will prepare the kids and children to live happily in any complex situation and life as our world is changing rapidly and implementing these practical life lessons help children become independent and resilient. Learning by doing and active learning is something that past and contemporary education thinkers put forward and advocate for as they experienced, experiment and wrote extensively about it. Today's children in schools (K-12) prefer and prioritize hands-on activities and active learning over lengthy explanations and lectures which do not include practical and learning engagement activities

Our latest school blog 💫 What's different in a prep school? In England, most children will attend either a primary or preparatory school (prep school) for the first years of their formal education. There are currently just under 25,000 primary schools and over 500 prep schools in the country. So what are the key differences between the two types of schools? Many of us will be familiar with the term ‘Preparatory school’, but what exactly is a prep school and how do children benefit from an education within one?
