Thanks for your wishes and kind words. I deeply appreciate.

Sunnypar:
Home tutors are urgently needed in all science, commercial and Arts subjects. If you are interested, send your cv to ssupremeducation@gmail.com
That is the school they pay part-time teachers 100k flat rate.

Pls is this info true, because majority are not sincere.

LaurelP:
Glad to announce that I've officially signed a new transfer contract with Caleb Intl Schools.

It was quite challenging though, their aptitude test is superb! If not for the "gragra" I put up during the interview and micro-teaching, it would have been a different story alltogether.
If you don't have it, fake it! Confidence is very key when it comes to interviews.
Though the pay is just a few tens of thousand above what I currently earn, I like their welfare package and other perks.
So patiently awaiting the new session! Wish me well guys.

Congrats Sir. You are blessed.I hope to work in schools like this someday.

So nobody got an invite from Cosom Schools?

Uglychic's Opening Keynote session was introduced by herself who emphasized that students need to walk into school and feel like they are taking a “step towards the future, and not a step back in time”. This sentiment rank true in the constant challenge we have as instructional technologists to bridge the distance between digital immigrants and digital natives. Uglychic mentioned notable strides and achievements including that at Uglychic High School in Kereje. The school is a prime example of the success of community partnership.



Another notable point is that the National Educational Conference which enhances teaching skills and methods.

Her keynote focused on the question of “meaningful learning environments” and what it takes to create them. He proposed 3 preconditions for it to happen and related them to, of all subjects, Here are a few notes from his keynote address:

Effort is essential for meaningful learning…

“We telescope how long that learning takes place”…”underestimate how much time, energy, and struggle” is behind a successful organization, classroom, individua.l

There is a 10 year rule for success and proficiency proposed by psychologists…10,000 hours of practice necessary…which comes to 4 hours a day for all successful individuals

Effort…successful learning doesn’t begin with a talent, but with an approach to the task

Example: Nigerian students-will say you have to have a “talent” for math to be good for it. Asian counterparts-to do well at math takes effort.



Perseverance is essential…you must “build on your failures”…

We tend to embrace the capitalization learning style: where people build on their strengths until you reach an optimal state

But this is not the only kind of strategy. We need to try the compensation strategy. Instead of building on your strengths, you compensate on your weaknesses. When you find success from the compensation strategy, the results are much more meaningful and weighted.

Example: In NFL Football, the top 50 draft pics underperform compared to the 51+ draft picks.

“We need to have respect for difficulty.”

So the big question is…”How do we set up an environment where students are enabled to “flex” their compensation muscles?



Feedback is a critical aid to effective learning… so also it is to this thread.

We incorrectly think our learning/experience has to be linear. “We value and treasure the role of timely and targeted feedback as an aid to effective learning”

Feedback lies at the core of effective learning. We must take time to not only solicit feedback, but evaluate the results to see how we can improve.



Two preconditions for effective learning are
(1) interesting, real challenges, and
(2) a belief that this learning is urgent and important. Without them, there is no curiosity, no engagement, real attention or motivation to learn.


Summarizing point:

“Sometimes the struggle in learning something is where the learning lies.”

1. Effort-

Develop a professional development plan and stick with implementation for several years. Results may not be apparent until later.

Increasing teacher effort in attending professional development-Work with administration on paid time, substitutes, professionl recertification points, etc. Work with community partners to provide snacks, freebies, assistance, etc.

2. Perseverence

How do you keep teachers from quitting on implementing a technology tool if it “fails” the first time? I see this problem often. I never feel technology fails. Most of the time, any snags in implementing the technology tool was because of lack of planning and lack of understanding the tool.

I’m stuck here…please offer suggestions!

3. Feedback

Provide a “feedback/closure” session with teachers after a collaborative project; solicit feedback from students on what was learned and what could have been improved; develop improvement plans from feedback

Does anyone have any concrete suggestions on “how” to set up these preconditions in a school/classroom to create an effective and meaningful learning environment for teachers (professional development) and students? I’d love to hear your responses!

These are wonderful points I must say.....On the area of perseverance, following the example of using a new tool/technology. when something like that is introduced, get an expert to train the staff or send any of d staff on a seminar/workshop as regards the new tool, then make it a part of their teaching procedure, with that they become perfect in its use(because they have to use it on a daily basis). It becomes intresting to them(teachers) and they are able to guide the students smoothly through it.

manie:



If you read the Punch newspaper of 6th August 2015, you will see the name of a school owner in Ikorodu who is owing UBA as high as over N300 million.

Another big school in Lagos with a branch in Ogun State got as high as N2 billion loan from First Bank but the woman has liquidated the debt.

Later "them" go dey shout how school owners treat their workers/staff. *pointing fingers at all thread members* be careful.
