AFT: TIMSS: AFT Talking Points, November 20, 1996 Do these results indicate that teachers in America are not prepared to teach to highstandards But there are some important issues related to homework. http://www.aft.org/timss/talkpt4.htm
Extractions: November 20, 1996 Today the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) released a report, Pursuing Excellence , which compares U.S. eighth grade science and mathematics achievement with that of eighth grades in the 41 other countries. the AFT believes the TIMSS studies can be instructive in helping us to develop strategies to improve teaching practice and student performance in America. TIMSS results indicate the need for high standards, coherent curricula tied to those standards, incentives for students to work hard including the requirement that students meet the standards in order to earn a high school diploma, a well-trained teaching force with many opportunities to interact with and share ideas with colleagues, and a disciplined environment in which to learn. the AFT will examine the TIMSS study and make recommendations at the state and district level to implement policies and practices to improve teaching and learning that follow from the TIMSS findings.

Extractions: Issues for Teacher Education Jon Mason, Computer Manager, Faculty of Education, The University of Melbourne Email: Jon_Mason@mac.unimelb.edu.au Keywords: Secondary Education Primary Education This paper is a contribution toward promoting active discussion within the Faculty of Education on the impact that the World Wide Web, and AARNet connectivity in general, is having and will most likely have on school education. The issues raised are just a starting point and while I am attending AUSWEB 95 as a representative of the Faculty the views in this paper are my own and should be seen as just that. As the number of schools on-line increases it is likely that for most the introduction to Internet will be via the World Wide Web especially since it provides the most user-friendly access to the Internet. Thus, while this paper may have a broader context, the issues raised are critical ones facing school administrators and teachers. These can be summarised under the headings of changing roles in the classroom, equity, censorship, training and support, and curriculum integration. While the various ways in which the WWW can be used for education is important to this paper it is not the primary focus. It is assumed that for many of the attendees of this conference that this angle would be just beating a drum they've already heard numerous times. For a lucid account of both its history and potential please see Andy Carvin

Extractions: The web provides access to data and information that my students and I couldn't otherwise easily obtain (or if we could, it would take too long to get our hands on it!). I teach an introductory level chemistry course that is structured around investigations of current issues in chemistry such as air quality, the ozone layer, global warming, and energy conservation. To teach these topics effectively, I need up-to-date, real-world data and I need current information on these topics - usually fast! The web has a wealth of scientific data . Sites like EPA NASA , and the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) provide air quality data by city, ozone levels over cities, stratospheric ozone data using the NASA satellite, and the pH of lake water in Minnesota in real time data.

Extractions: section A Potpourri of Academic Issues Orientation of new students What is the purpose? The canon Where is it? When people talk about the canon and decry its loss, they usually assume the existence of a permanently defined body of Western civilization's great literature, philosophy, and history. This set of works is thought to have once served, and should still serve, as the base of undergraduate education in the liberal arts and sciences. Why, some wonder, have "lesser" works replaced the canon as the material of undergraduate courses and study? A canon of Great Books was one of the creations of 19th century Anglo-American classical education for clergymen and the aristocrats who were expected to become public leaders. It was, however, even for that restricted audience, changing and increasingly inclusive from the very beginning. For example, early on place had to be made for modern European and for American literature a radical inclusion at the time.

Specifically, her interests focus on understanding how practicing teachers can learn more about mathematics and about children's mathematical thinking. Its critical, of course, that there is a plan for professional development, and that theres a person with responsibility and authority to carry out that plansomeone who has the big view and is on top of what needs to be changed when things arent working exactly as the system had hoped. Without somebody who is really responsible for the implementation, its very easy for professional development to end up being haphazard and not very well thought through.

Computers have become an essential learning tool and the world wide web offers endless information and assistance. In addition to the basics, here are some more tips and tools to help you and your child get the most out of homework. Learn more about: Top These days many schools have computers in classrooms, and many households have personal computers. Ask you child's teacher to explain his or her policy about the use of computers, typewriters or any special equipment for homework. If the teacher allows students to use a computer, but you don't have a computer in your home, or if your family computer is being used by many family members, check with your child's teacher, the school library, and the local public library about using their computers. Some schools offer after-school programs where your child can use the school's computers. And many public libraries make computers available to children. Top Using a computer is becoming increasingly common and sometimes necessary for children to complete their homework assignments. Computers can be a great learning tool and provide access to the many resources that are available on the Internet. Although, identifying reliable resources can be overwhelming for both parents and children. To help you get started, FCIC has compiled a list of web sites that can help you find online homework help.
