Failure Up Close
Author: Jay P. Greene
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1475840578
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
For many reasons, failure in education reform is rarely admitted. Even though it is incredibly hard work to try and improve the enormous and diverse American education system, because there are political consequences of admitting that a particular effort did not live up to its promises and pressure from philanthropic funders to show success, unsuccessful efforts are often swept under the rug or papered over with public relations efforts that avoid wrestling with the tough realities of educational improvement. This doesn’t help anyone. As any educator will tell you, failure is an essential part of learning. Insofar as education reform needs to be a learning movement itself, it has to be able to admit where it has failed and learn from it. Failure Up-Close engages a select group of scholars from across the ideological spectrum to examine particular education reform efforts of recent years that have not succeeded and offer lessons for school and system improvement that can be learned from them. Rather than view failure as negative, this volume looks at failure as an opportunity to learn and grow. In fact, the editors endeavored to find authors that would analyze reforms for which they had some fundamental sympathy. The goal is not to bash particular efforts or castigate their supporters but rather to help those supporters understand how to do what they do better, and ultimately, do better for children.

AI and education
Author: Miao, Fengchun
Publisher: UNESCO Publishing
ISBN: 9231004476
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges in education today, innovate teaching and learning practices, and ultimately accelerate the progress towards SDG 4. However, these rapid technological developments inevitably bring multiple risks and challenges, which have so far outpaced policy debates and regulatory frameworks. This publication offers guidance for policy-makers on how best to leverage the opportunities and address the risks, presented by the growing connection between AI and education. It starts with the essentials of AI: definitions, techniques and technologies. It continues with a detailed analysis of the emerging trends and implications of AI for teaching and learning, including how we can ensure the ethical, inclusive and equitable use of AI in education, how education can prepare humans to live and work with AI, and how AI can be applied to enhance education. It finally introduces the challenges of harnessing AI to achieve SDG 4 and offers concrete actionable recommendations for policy-makers to plan policies and programmes for local contexts.

Pages : 330
Book Description
School improvement, like motherhood, has many advocates. Everyone is for it, without having to campaign actively on its behalf. And just as the 100% of people who have had mothers think they know how mothering could be done better, so the (nearly) 100% of people who have been pupils in schools, or have even taught in or managed them, think they know how schools can be im proved. More precisely, they are sure that schools ought to be improved. The trouble is that they propose a staggering, conflicting range of methods of improving the schools, from ;'back to the woodshed" to teacher merit pay, a stiffer curriculum, a stronger tax base, reorganization, a more humane climate, "teacher-proof" innovations, community involvement-the list is nearly end less. Furthermore, the issues are not merely technical, but normative and po litical. The term improvement is itself problematic. One person's version of improvement is another's version of wastefulness or even of worsening the schools. Furthermore, the versions that win out in any particular school are not Improvement sometimes turns out to be merely a necessarily technically "best. " code word for the directives that administrators have successfully put into place, or for the agreements that teachers have lobbied into being. How much do we really know about school improvement? The available research literature is quite substantial, but not as helpful as it might be.

EdTech for Equity: Using Technology to Close the Learning Gap
Author: John Kyan
Publisher: Field Books
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
The landscape of education is rapidly evolving, driven by the transformative power of technology. Educational technology, or EdTech, has the potential to revolutionize learning, offering personalized experiences, engaging content, and access to a vast world of knowledge. However, the promise of EdTech is not universally realized. The digital divide, a stark reality in many communities, underscores the critical need for equitable access to technology and resources. Students from marginalized backgrounds, those with disabilities, and those living in rural or underserved areas often face significant barriers to accessing the tools and opportunities that technology can provide. This disparity perpetuates existing inequalities and creates a widening gap in educational outcomes. "EdTech for Equity: Using Technology to Close the Learning Gap" addresses this challenge head-on. This book explores the dual nature of EdTech, recognizing its potential to both empower and exclude. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the complexities of EdTech equity, offering practical strategies, real-world examples, and actionable steps for creating inclusive and equitable learning environments for every student. Through a critical examination of key concepts such as digital equity, culturally responsive pedagogy, and inclusive design principles, this book equips educators and policymakers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the EdTech landscape effectively. It emphasizes the importance of building digital literacy skills, promoting equitable access to technology and resources, and fostering a supportive learning environment that values diversity and inclusion. By bridging the gap between technology and education, "EdTech for Equity" aims to create a more just and equitable learning landscape for all students. This book serves as a roadmap for educators, policymakers, and all stakeholders committed to harnessing the power of technology to empower every learner and ensure that no child is left behind in the digital age.
