The Promise (and Challenges) In Scaling High-Dosage Tutoring to Combat COVID Learning Losses: "Early literacy is a priority, too, and scaling tutoring in early literacy has great potential. OnYourMark, an Accelerate grantee, offers synchronous tutoring via computer using high-quality instruction materials based on the science of reading. Using noise-canceling headphones, students get extra doses of phonics and other instruction without leaving their desks."

Transforming existing schools is an exercise in futility, says Thomas Arnett of the Clayton Christensen Institute "The need to transform our K–12 schools grows more pressing each day. But here’s the hard truth: transforming existing schools is nearly impossible. The primary obstacle? Value networks.  What is a value network? It’s the environment that an organization exists within—the external entities that provide key resources and define the rules for staying in business. So how does a school’s value network stand in the way of transformation? >>Parents feel uneasy when school doesn’t look like the schools they grew up with. >> Teachers don’t like discarding practices they’ve refined through years of experience. >> Students who are comfortable with the routines of conventional schools don’t like having the rules changed mid-game. >> State officials expect innovative schools to still follow the policies made for conventional schools. And the list goes on. Bold school leaders work hard to give their value networks a new vision of the future.  But in the end, most value networks only accept improvements to an existing school, not a different idea of what school could be. So, if we want to transform education, we need to start creating alternative schools, virtual schools, and microschools with new value networks where new versions of schooling can take root, evolve, and expand." https://lnkd.in/gSURkM5H #education

I recently started working with a 6th-grade student and was surprised 😯to discover she struggled with basic math operations like multiplication and division. I started analysing🔍 the reasons behind it. It turns out the disruptions caused by the Corona lockdown🦠 had impacted her learning, as online classes weren't effective. In the ever-evolving landscape of education, online classes have become a widely adopted mode of learning📱. However, when it comes to primary grades👼, a significant number of students face challenges🙁 with the effectiveness of this digital learning environment. Addressing this is a serious issue : There is an educational gap among students due to corona lockdown.📚 Realizing this, I focused on reinforcing fundamental math concepts in private tutoring sessions, leading to significant improvement.⚡ 📝Parents, take note: Ensure your child has a strong foundation in the basics, as they serve as the building blocks for future success✨ in subjects, especially math.✅ #fundamentals #operations #mathematics #jjlearnersspot

In today's fast-paced world, staying updated on global trends is crucial for educators to remain effective in their teaching methodologies. As the educational landscape evolves, learners crave relevance and connection between what they learn and the world around them. Educators must break free from conventional approaches and embrace innovation, integrating real-world examples and current events into their lessons. By doing so, they bridge the gap between theory and practice, empowering students to see the practical applications of their learning. In one of my mathematics lessons on Speed, Distance, and Time, I witnessed the power of relevance firsthand. As I introduced the topic, I mentioned Usain Bolt, and to my delight, the classroom came alive with excitement. By connecting the lesson to a real-world example they could relate to, I captured their attention and sparked their curiosity. Throughout the lesson, the mention of Bolt's legendary speed served as a guiding thread, making abstract concepts tangible and engaging. It was a reminder that in today's classroom, relevance is key to igniting a passion for learning and fostering deeper understanding. Let's ensure that our teaching resonates with the needs and interests of the modern learner, inspiring curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love for learning. #digitaleducation #digitaleducator #parents #parentslife #school #education #educational #educationmatters #teachers #teachersupportteachers #teachersforteachers #teachershelpteachers #teachersinspireteachers #learning #learninganddevelopment #educationfirst #educationispower #parentsupport #viral
