Podcasts about cleverlands

In the latest episode of the World Bank's Teachers Podcast Elaine Ding, Analyst for the Teachers Thematic Group in the Educational Global Practice at the World Bank hosted a conversation on teacher-directed vs. student-centered pedagogical approaches with Lucy Crehan, an international education consultant, researcher, and author. Lucy is the author of ‘Cleverlands: the secrets behind the success of the world's education superpowers', one of The Economist's books of the year in 2016, as well as a book on teacher career structures for the International Institute for Educational Planning and UNESCO. Lucy has also advised foreign governments on education reform at the Education Development Trust.   In this episode, Elaine and Lucy discuss the debate about teacher-directed vs. student-centered instructional approaches to teaching and learning. Lucy provides firsthand insights about some of the benefits and drawbacks of implementing and sustaining these kinds of approaches in different educational systems, and highlights insights that have emerged from large-scale international student assessments. She also shares her own experiences in high-performing classrooms and discusses how teaching and learning can be organized to be most successful. 

PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) is a worldwide study by the OECD intended to evaluate educational systems by measuring 15-year-old school pupils' performance in maths, science and reading. This week, David interviews Lucy Crehan, qualified teacher, author and educational consultant. Her book Cleverlands (2016) combines educational research with an exploration of the world's top performing education systems, for which she travelled to help out in schools and live with teachers in Finland, Canada, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand and Shanghai. She has worked with governments in England, Brunei and Myanmar, and spoken about her work at conferences in nine countries across four continents. She spent a year working as part of a team advising foreign governments on education reform at Education Development Trust, and now works as an independent consultant and author.

Saya membahas buku Cleverlands Karya Lucy Crehan. Buku ini membahas apa rahasia di balik pendidikan seorang anak yang cerdas? Selama bertahun-tahun, murid dari Finlandia, Jepang, dan China selalu menjadi peringkat atas pada tes kecerdasan internasional bernama PISA. Apa rahasianya? Bagaimana anak itu bisa mahir dalam membaca, matematika, fisika, dan bisa mengimplementasikan apa yang mereka tahu? Pertanyaan ini membuat banyak orang penasaran, termasuk juga penulis. Sebagai gambaran, penulis merupakan seorang guru dari sekolah yang secara peringkat akademisnya tidak begitu baik, karena lokasinya berada di inner city, sebuah area dekat tengah kota di mana masyarakat yang tinggal di sana seringkali memiliki masalah dalam hal ekonomi dan sosial. Keterbatasan ini mendorong penulis untuk melakukan perjalanan ke lima negara yang dianggap punya pendidikan terbaik dan menghabiskan waktu hampir sebulan. Harapannya, kita bisa belajar bagaimana cara mereka mendidik para siswa dan menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang baik.

Long-time podcast listeners may remember our review of Lucy Crehan's bestseller Cleverlands, in which the author outlined her insights into leading education systems of the world. Crucially, Lucy had actually got on a plan and travelled to the countries, living with teachers and speaking to people involved in education, and so her conclusions about the features of high-performing education systems of the world had more weight behind them. It also helped that her final chapter was crystal clear in summarising what she saw as the common features of world-leading education systems.So you can imagine how excited we were to be able to pack up our wires and microphones and hit the road - not only were we taking the podcast for the first time since Covid hit in 2020, but we had an invitation to Lucy Crehan's house for a long chat about her work supporting teachers in implementing the new curriculum for Wales!Our discussion turned out to be an honest and serious evaluation of how things are going in what should be the final stages before the new curriculum is rolled out in Welsh schools. Are we ready? Are there cautionary notes to be drawn from Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence? How can teachers fill in the gap between the 'big picture' aspirations of the curriculum documents and the nuts and bolts of subject disciplines?All is revealed in this extended interview with Lucy Crehan, and we hope you find the insights useful, no matter where in the world you're listening.-------------------------------Recorded in Swansea on 16th February 2022

In this episode we consider vital role of play, and what it does to expand a child’s creativity and resilience. Urban sociologist Tamara Mose is an Associate Professor at Brooklyn College, and author of The Playdate: Parents, Children and the New Expectations of Play (NYU Press, 2016). She tells us about the strengths and perils of playdates, and the need for children to have unstructured play. Educational consultant and teacher, Lucy Crehan, is the author of Cleverlands: The Secrets Behind the Success of the World’s Education Superpowers (Random House, 2017), an exploration of the lessons learned from the world’s top-performing education systems. Her research also highlights the importance of play in the learning process. In Finland, where math and reading scores are among the highest in the world, “they don’t start education formally until seven-years-old,” says Lucy. Instead of meeting academic targets in kindergarten or first grade, “they’re focusing on a much broader educational and social development before they start formal learning. Solutions discussed include: The need for diversity during playdates and in children’s lives, and the developmental role played by unsupervised play. The importance of high academic expectations for older children, and the creative role of play during the school year. Richard Davies and Jim Meigs are the host of the terrific podcast “How Do We Fix It?,” on which they talk to the world’s most creative thinkers about, well, how to fix things. Lots of things. Important ones. Highly recommended. You can find “How Do We Fix It” on Apple Podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I avsnitt 12 av Drottning Blanka – Podden bjuder vi på boktips! Vi diskuterar Cleverlands av Lucy Crehan och Lektionsdesign av Helena Wallberg. Lucy Crehan är en engelsk lärare som besökt fem framgångsrika länder när det gäller skola och utbildning. I sin bok delar hon med sig av vad som är skolornas gemensamma framgångsfaktorer. Helena Wallbergs bok Lektionsdesign är en mycket konkret handbok i hur man kan planera och genomföra sin undervisning så att alla elever kan tillgodogöra sig innehållet. Dessutom delar vi i poddgänget med oss av våra personliga boktips. Vilka böcker har betytt mycket för oss i livet? Vi som gör podden är Malin Bergland, utbildningsdirektör, och Ann-Marie Viiala, kvalitets- och utvecklingsansvarig. Våra gäster i dagens avsnitt är skolcheferna Annika Silverup och Jens Levin.

Emma and Tom are joined by Sally Bethell, Senior Lecturer in PGCE Secondary PE, to discuss the five recommendations at the end of Lucy Crehan's book Cleverlands, in which the intrepid author gets on a plane to find out what lessons can be learned from five countries whose education systems are routinely held up as examples of excellent practice. The final chapter of the book distils everything Crehan learned on her travels into five principles that she feels underly excellent and equitable systems for the education of young people, and Emma, Tom and Sally have plenty to say about these - especially Tom, who is in particularly controversial mood and is now awaiting the arrival of his P45 in the post. The three regular slots - wellbeing, shoutout and something to try - get a whole new level of challenge when Emma and Tom decide to try recording them remotely: Tom's in Cardiff Met and Emma's at home with her dog, meaning that the whole thing takes place without the benefit of eye contact - and with slightly lower sound quality than we've become used to! Tom's got another good reason to go for tea with your colleagues: so you can make them your friends. Emma, meanwhile, combines the shoutout and something to try slots into a comprehensive explanation of live modelling as it applies to extended writing, and how Georgina Saunders, an English student teacher on the Teach First programme, used this to impressive effect in a lesson observation.  

[Deze aflevering is grotendeels in het Engels] Op ResearchEd Mälmo in Zweden raakte ik aan de praat met Lucy Crehan, de auteur van Cleverlands. Zij wilde niet uit de boeken en de statistieken leren waarom landen als Finland en Singapore zo goed scoren op de internationale ranglijsten maar zij wilde er ook echt gaan lesgeven, om daar alles op te snuiven. Haar lessen vatte ze samen in Cleverlands.   Met David Didau praat ik over zijn in het Nederlands te verschijnen boek 'Psychologie voor in de klas', zijn nieuwste boek 'Making kids cleverer'.    

Lucy Crehan, lärare från Storbritannien, var nyfiken på vad som ligger bakom vissa länders framgångar i PISA-mätningarna. Hon har besökt fem länder vars skolsystem presterar på topp. Vi träffar henne på Bokmässan för ett samtal om boken Cleverlands, där hon sammanfattar lärdomarna från länderna. Och så hör vi författaren Björn Ranelid och Yolanda Bohm, författare, spoken word-artist och transaktivist, i ett samtal om hur man kan inspirera elever att hitta sitt eget språk.

What we can learn from the best education systems in the world? A lot. We learn about PISA - The Program for International Student Assessment - and why this international test on math, science and reading has disturbing results for U.S. schools.  We interviewed British teacher Lucy Crehan, author of the breakthrough book, "Cleverlands", went on a remarkable journey to Finland, Asia and Canada, to study the world’s best schools. We find out why a simple question from a student in her science class, “Miss, why do we sneeze?" sent Lucy on a two-year quest to learn how to improve schools. Playful, enthusiastic, and full of common sense, "Cleverlands" is a personal story, an adventure, and a how-to book on how everyone can improve children’s education.   Lucy paints a picture of school life, making sense of the theories and data through the stories of teachers and children.    Solutions: - Get children ready for formal learning. Early education is important but don’t focus on academic skills. The most... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
