Math isn’t hard, it’s a language | Randy Palisoc | TEDxManhattanBeach

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Is 26% proficiency in math acceptable to you? That’s the question teacher and Synergy Academies Founder Dr. Randy Palisoc asks the TEDxManhattanBeach audience. With only 26% of U.S. twelfth graders proficient in mathematics, Randy shares his solution: teach math as a language. Putting words back into math lessons enables even the youngest school-age minds to grasp complex concepts, such as fractions, that are traditionally thought of as abstract and difficult to understand. In his stunningly simple and effective approach, math no longer creates problems for kids but solves them. Randy Palisoc is a passionate educator, known for making math easy. A founder of the five-time national award winning Synergy Academies, Randy is proud to identify Synergy as an “in spite of” school. In spite of the fact that its students were disadvantaged and in spite of the fact that it did not have its own facility and had to pack up its classrooms every single week, his school was the first and only elementary school in South Los Angeles to ever win the National Blue Ribbon Award, and was named the #1 Urban Elementary School in America in 2013. Seeking a broader impact, Randy left Synergy this year to start Ironbox Education. One of the ways he believes we can dramatically improve America’s schools is by doing a better job teaching math to our students in a way that makes sense to them. Randy believes implementing a few changes in the way we approach math will give students the confidence and thinking skills to be more competitive in a global economy.

Achieving education for all in Vietnam

Transcript Vietnam made enormous progress in developing its education system in recent years, but still faced challenges in rural and remote areas, particularly in meeting the needs of disadvantaged children-poor kids, street kids, kids with disabilities, and kids from ethnic minorities. Some children had to walk two to three kilometres along steep mountain paths just to get to school. It’s no surprise that some never got there and others gave up along the way. La Thi Huyen: “My name is La Thi Huyen, I’m a new teacher. I graduated this year. It’s my first full year teaching. One of the biggest difficulties I face in teaching these children is that all of them are from ethnic minorities and they don’t speak Vietnamese very fluently.” As part of its priority theme to secure a future for children and youth, CIDA, along with other donors, including the World Bank, worked with the Government of Vietnam for seven years to improve access to primary school for disadvantaged children such as these-some 2.7 million or 27 percent of all students in Vietnam-and to improve the quality of education in 40 poor provinces. Together, they: Provided more than 3 million textbooks to students, as well as school supplies, and in some cases shoes and uniforms Built more than 16,000 new schools Trained more than 312,865 teachers and 7,026 teacher’s aides La Thi Huyen: “I have learned how teachers should interact with children, how we should write on the boards. I apply some teaching methods that I learned to make it easier for my students to learn.” The results? By the end of 2010: Primary school enrolment increased from 80 percent to 99 percent Primary school completion rates increased from 72 percent to 94 percent Drop-out rates fell from 12 percent to 2.5 percent More than 2.7 million students now have a more hopeful future, and Vietnam is closer to achieving universal primary education for all-one of the Millennium Development Goals agreed to by the world’s leaders in 2000.

‘Developing’ with community | David Malmuth | TEDxAmericasFinestCity

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Why is that certain real estate projects catalyze community transformation, while others make no impact? David describes why NOT having the typical ‘advantages’ of a real estate developer -land, money & tenants – has proven to be his secret weapon. Instead integrating Innovation + Design + Education + Arts has involved the community in defining the future of I.D.E.A, propelling the project forward with a broad base of support. n 2011, David and Pete Garcia formed I.D.E.A. Partners to lead the development of the I.D.E.A. District (www.ideadistrictsd.com) — Innnovation+Design+Education+Arts — in downtown San Diego. This transformative initiative, located on 35 blocks in the Upper East Village, aims to create a vibrant, sustainable mixed-use district that will generate over 13,000+ design and technology jobs in the next 10 years. IDEA1, their first mixed-use project with partner Lowe Enterprises, will break ground in early 2015. Before starting his own firm, David was the Founder and a Managing Director for seven years with RCLCO’s Development Services Group where he provided development management services to a wide variety of corporate and institutional clients. Prior to that, between 1996-2002, David was a Senior Vice President at TrizecHahn Development Corporation. During his six-year tenure, he was the key project executive on Hollywood & Highland and the Kodak Theater (now Dolby Theater) in Hollywood, CA in collaboration with architects Stan Eckstut and David Rockwell. During this same period he also initiated the development of Paseo Colorado in Pasadena, CA. Video Previous to his position at TrizecHahn, David was Vice President/General Manager at Disney Development Company-West. During his nine years at The Walt Disney Company, he managed the development of over $250 million in projects including The Feature Animation Building in Burbank with architect Robert A. M. Stern and Disney Ice and The Disneyland Administration Building in Anaheim both designed by Frank Gehry. From 1993-1996 he spearheaded Disney’s restoration of the New Amsterdam Theater in New York with architect Hugh Hardy, which catalyzed the highly acclaimed development of additional retail/entertainment business on New York’s famed 42nd Street. David is a graduate of Claremont McKenna College and the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He lives in Del Mar with his wife Ann Berchtold.

Education Q&A with OECD’s Andreas Schleicher

OECD Acting Director for the Directorate of Education and Skills, Andreas Schleicher answers crowdsourced questions for the Global Education and Skills Forum, 2014. Don’t miss new Big Think videos!  Subscribe by clicking here: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Find out more about the Global Education & Skills Forum: http://www.educationandskillsforum.org Questions: — Will we ever see an international assessment that tracks student learning across multiple years? — Do parents have an impact on student success? — Is there a risk that good PISA scores might lead to complacency? — Is the humanistic approach to evaluation an important indicator? Transcript – We need to become better at tracking student learning growths not at just seeing where students are at any point in time but also seeing how they actually progress in their learning pathways. And actually a lot is happening in that field. In fact, the PISA assessment as we have it currently focusing on 15 year olds is looking into expanding to lower grades so that we can actually get at least at the synthetic level some sense of the progress that is being made in education raising quality, improving equity and also value for money. The PISA data show that parents have a very significant influence on the success of their children. We see that where parents have a greater expectations on education, where parents are more closely involved in the education of their children results are significantly better. And it’s not only in terms of the academic performance of students but it’s also in terms of their attitudes toward learning, their enjoyment of learning. Their persistence when things get tough in school. So parental involvement is very important. We also see that that parental involvement isn’t about having an academic degree as a parent or spending hours of time on homework. It’s really the interest parents show for the education of their children. For example, when parents regularly ask their children, you know, “How was school today? What did go wrong?” We can see those kids actually having a significantly higher performance at school than kids — even kids from wealthy neighborhoods where parents do not show that level of engagement. So a very important ingredient for success is to make parents part of the equation. If you do well you might think you don’t need to improve. But, in fact, the PISA data do not lend much evidence to this. In fact, some of the most rapidly improving systems are some of the best performing systems. They want to move from good to great. They’re actually seeing, you know, how is the labor demand shaping up in the future. What are the kind of knowledge and skills that we need to improve on? I’ll give you an example. You can look at Singapore. Singapore has always done well on math and science tests. But Singaporean educators have not been satisfied with this. They’re looking to how can we strengthen students ways of thinking, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving. Students ways of working, collaboration, teamwork and so on. So the education system is actually looking towards moving forward. Complacency is a risk but we do actually see very encouraging signals that improvement is taking place at every part of the system. You cannot improve what you can’t measure. So the measurement framework is really, really critically important. But we also do see incentives not only for our low performers to catch up but also for the strong performers to move forward further. It was a bit long? A humanistic perspective is very important to evaluating educational results. In fact, we need to get away from looking at education with a single perspective. Evaluation can only take part place in a framework of multiple kinds of perspectives. Looking at test data from students is one perspective. Looking at teachers views on student performance. Looking at other students — it’s this kind of multiplicity of instruments that actually help us improve education. And that’s true even at the level of teachers, you know. You can evaluate teachers on the basis of student learning outcomes. This is one perspective. But you also need to bring in other perspectives that value the broader responsibilities that teachers have. So looking at outcomes from multiple perspectives including these kind of quality — qualitative outlook is very, very important. Directed and Produced by Jonathan Fowler

Education: It Matters More to Health Than Ever Before

Did you know that your years of education can affect how long and how well you will live? Americans with fewer years of education have poorer health and shorter lives, and that has never been more true than today. In fact, since the 1990s, life expectancy has decreased for people without a high school education. Education is important not only for higher paying jobs and economic productivity, but also for saving lives and saving dollars. Created by the VCU Center on Society and Health with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this video is part of the Education and Health Initiative, a larger project aiming to increase awareness and understanding of the important connections between education and health.

Carol Dweck, “Developing a Growth Mindset”

Watch, learn and connect: https://stanfordconnects.stanford.edu/ Should you tell your kids they are smart or talented? Professor Carol Dweck answers this question and more, as she talks about her groundbreaking work on developing mindsets. She emphasizes the power of “yet” in helping students succeed in and out of the classroom. Carol Dweck is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, at the Graduate School of Education. A leading expert in the field of motivation, her research has demonstrated the role of mindsets in students’ achievement and has shown how praise for intelligence can undermine motivation and learning. She has lectured to education, business and sports groups all over the world, and has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. She has appeared on Today, Good Morning America, Nightline and 20/20. Her bestselling book Mindset has been widely acclaimed and translated into over 20 languages. This Stanford+Connects micro lecture was filmed on location in New York, New York. Stanford+Connects is a program of the Stanford Alumni Association.

Visual collaboration in the classroom

True collaborative learning occurs when teacher and students are able to share content regardless of being used in the interactive display, portable computer or mobile device. All technology being used in the classroom must speak the same language and EXO U provides such universal framework for content delivery and easily managed by the teacher who becomes a learning facilitator.

Engaging Students in Science with Art, Physics and Literature by Arthur Eisenkraft

Arthur Eisenkraft speaks on Engaging Students in Science with Art, Physics and Literature, as part of the Azim Premji University Public Lecture series January 7, 2014 Arthur Eisenkraft, Distinguished Professor of Science Education, Professor of Physics Director, Center of Science and Math in Context (COSMIC) University of Massachusetts Boston Boston, MA, USA About the Talk For some students, science concepts are fascinating from the outset and the mathematics is a source of beauty. Other students need to enter the world of science through their other interests including sports, transportation, medicine, communications and technology. All students can benefit from an approach that uses art and literature to propel an understanding of physics. Professor Eisenkraft will discuss how working with an artist and drawing from literature has led to a unique approach to engaging students in physics. About the Speaker Arthur Eisenkraft, PhD, is one of America’s leading science educators. For 25 years, he taught high school physics and was a 6-12 science coordinator. He is past president of the National Science Teacher Association and is currently chair of the Science Academic Advisory Committee of the College Board. He is project director of the NSF-supported Active Physics curriculum project that is introducing physics instruction for the first time to all students and leading a similar effort with Active Chemistry. He is chair and co-creator of the Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Awards, involving 15,000 students annually. His current research projects include investigating the efficacy of a second generation model of distance learning for professional development; a study of professional development choices that teachers make when facing a large scale curriculum change and assessing the technological literacy of K-12 students. He has received numerous awards recognizing his teaching and related work including the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching, the American Association of Physics Teachers Millikan Medal, the Disney Corporation’s Science Teacher of the Year, and the NSTA Robert Carleton Award.

A Few Testimonials

Please view my TEDx talk at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQcc1… This video includes a few students and teachers providing honest feedback relating to the positive impact of Active Learning. www.teachingrocks.com Hello friends, my name is Troy Wittmann, and I want to help teachers engage their students in the learning process. After two decades of teaching, I have discovered one absolute truth: our students want to be active participants in the learning process. Fortunately, the days of “chalk and talk” or the teacher being the lone “sage on the stage” are becoming less prevalent. Today students want and deserve more. An old Native American expression captures this sentiment perfectly: “Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may not remember. Involve me and I will understand.” I have written a book and completed a video series on Active Learning. The book is entitled: 33⅓ Active Learning Strategies. It comes with a companion set of eight DVD’s and one futuristic, musical CD. The DVD’s contain 33⅓ separate HD videos with an average runtime of 15 minutes. The Active Learning Strategies explained in the book and on the DVD’s can be used from elementary through high school and even for adult learners. All you need to do is adjust the questions and statements to meet your goals and objectives. Of course, these strategies may also be used to address local, state, and Common Core Standards. One specific method of engaging our students that my faith has inspired me with is known simply as the Teachingrocks Time Machine™. I can’t wait to show you how it all works. Thank you, Troy Wittmann Teacher www.teachingrocks.com

‘Developing’ with community | David Malmuth | TEDxAmericasFinestCity

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Why is that certain real estate projects catalyze community transformation, while others make no impact? David describes why NOT having the typical ‘advantages’ of a real estate developer -land, money & tenants – has proven to be his secret weapon. Instead integrating Innovation + Design + Education + Arts has involved the community in defining the future of I.D.E.A, propelling the project forward with a broad base of support. n 2011, David and Pete Garcia formed I.D.E.A. Partners to lead the development of the I.D.E.A. District (www.ideadistrictsd.com) — Innnovation+Design+Education+Arts — in downtown San Diego.

IDEA1, their first mixed-use project with partner Lowe Enterprises, will break ground in early 2015. Before starting his own firm, David was the Founder and a Managing Director for seven years with RCLCO’s Development Services Group where he provided development management services to a wide variety of corporate and institutional clients. Prior to that, between 1996-2002, David was a Senior Vice President at TrizecHahn Development Corporation. During his six-year tenure, he was the key project executive on Hollywood & Highland and the Kodak Theater (now Dolby Theater) in Hollywood, CA in collaboration with architects Stan Eckstut and David Rockwell. During this same period he also initiated the development of Paseo Colorado in Pasadena, CA. Video Previous to his position at TrizecHahn, David was Vice President/General Manager at Disney Development Company-West. During his nine years at The Walt Disney Company, he managed the development of over $250 million in projects including The Feature Animation Building in Burbank with architect Robert A. M. Stern and Disney Ice and The Disneyland Administration Building in Anaheim both designed by Frank Gehry. From 1993-1996 he spearheaded Disney’s restoration of the New Amsterdam Theater in New York with architect Hugh Hardy, which catalyzed the highly acclaimed development of additional retail/entertainment business on New York’s famed 42nd Street.
