Podcasts about education outcomes

We want our students to be engaged and to want to learn. Particularly since the pandemic, many schools have struggled to engage learners. Today's episode shows us not only how we can creatively include play in our classrooms, no matter the age group or subject, but also why it's never too late to re-engage students.  Additionally, Dr. Nash shares fascinating data from a recent survey involving over 6,000 administrators, teachers, parents, and students that reveals the importance of student engagement and how play-based learning can drive meaningful educational experiences across all ages. Additionally, we learn how play-based learning can drive meaningful educational experiences across all ages. Show Notes: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e863  Key Questions We Answer in the Show:  How does play-based learning impact student engagement and educational outcomes? What does the latest research from LEGO Education tell us about current engagement levels in schools? How can teachers incorporate hands-on, playful learning even in older grade levels? What are some practical examples of how purposeful play can solve real-world classroom challenges? Why is fun important in education, and how can teachers strike a balance between fun and learning objectives?  Key Research Insights (go to LegoEducation.com to read the full report.) 35% of administrators report that students are disengaged in school, leading to issues like absenteeism and poor information retention. 83% of attendance rates are tied directly to hands-on, engaging learning experiences. 84% of surveyed educators believe that hands-on learning can improve test scores. Only 2 in 5 students report regularly experiencing play-based learning, despite strong support from both teachers and students for its benefits. Show Sponsor: Hands-on learning through play is backed up by research. Please go to LEGOeducation.com to see the new report on classroom engagement.

Young people who are suspended at least once from high school are twice as likely not to be involved in education, employment and training by the age of 24, a new study has found. Research Associate from the University of South Australia, Dr Jamie Manolev told Oly Peterson on Perth Live that excluding students through suspension should only be in extreme cases. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A critical shortage of qualified counsellors has prompted the Government to expand the pool of those eligible to fill the positions in its Counsellors in Schools programme. It now includes equine therapy facilitators, Master Carvers, youth workers, creative art therapists and music therapists. The Ministry of Education says most schools already have a counsellor and this rollout is mostly across selected primary and intermediate schools. But it's prompting concerns among qualified counsellors that students will not get the support they need, and could put children at risk. Meanwhile a recent nationwide study which canvassed every year 9 student between 2013 and 2017 has found those with mental health conditions are significantly more likely to fail exams, or be suspended. Students with any prior mental health condition were 11 percent less likely to obtain NCEA Level 1, and 50 percent more likely to be stood down. Those with any behavioural condition were 38 percent less likely to get NCEA Level 1 and 2.3 times as likely to be stood down. Sarah Maindonald is the president of the NZ Counsellors Association, and Professor Brigid McNeill is a researcher at Canterbury University.

A recent data study on America's charter schools – the third in an ongoing series – shows students with average learning gains of six days in math and 16 days in reading for the academic years 2015-2019. Macke Raymond, a Hoover Institution Distinguished Research Fellow and founder and director of Stanford University's Center for Research on Education Outcomes, which authored the study, discusses lessons learned and the status of the three-decade charter school movement, the push for better performing traditional public schools, and a growing national conversation on classroom outcomes.

Charter schools "produce superior student gains despite enrolling a more challenging student population," says the latest analysis by Stanford's Center for Research on Education Outcomes, or Credo. But will this convince union states like New York, where Gov. Kathy Hochul has failed to lift the cap on charters? Plus, an Oklahoma board approves the nation's first religious charter school, which could go to the Supreme Court. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bilingual proficiency is a key highlight in the Malaysia Education Blueprint as one of the 11 shifts of transformation. The shift outlines that school-going children are to be operationally proficient in the national language, Bahasa Malaysia, and also the international language of communication, English. Part of the shift is also to upskill teachers in the English language, make the English language SPM paper a compulsory pass, and encourage children to learn an additional language by 2025. But have any of those goals come to fruition and if they haven't, why not? Where's the disconnect and what can we do to address this issue in order to make our students proficient in the English language? Tan Sri Yong Poh Kon, Chairman of Royal Selangor International Sdn and Afzal Abdul Rahim, Executive Director of TIME dotCom joins us to discuss.This is an edited recording of the fourth webinar on Malaysia's education challenges, with a focus on Malaysia's Education Blueprint (MEB), and is a collaboration between BFM Media, Edunity Foundation and G25 Malaysia.

Guest: Dr Vijay Reddy | Distinguished Research Specialist at Human Sciences Research Council South Africa started the post-apartheid democratic era in 1994 with very low and unequal achievement scores and slowly improved educational outcomes to the low values in 2019. The sad and uncomfortable truth is that the country will likely have ended 2020 with lower achievement scores than in 2019. The achievement gains made since 1994 will revert closer to the achievement levels in 2015 – a loss of five years of learning. The effect of the pandemic will widen existing educational inequalities that were created by apartheid policies and contemporary shortcomings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Indigenous educational disadvantage has persisted despite countless initiatives, programmes, and spending from governments and communities. For solutions to help truly close the gap, CIS hosts a stellar panel in our latest webinar: Dr Lorraine Hammond AM, Nyunggai Warren Mundine AO, and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price. The educational plight of indigenous students has endured despite countless initiatives and programs from governments and communities. Despite the best intentions of policymakers, we haven't produced a fundamental shift to policy or to the narrative needed to overcome indigenous educational disadvantage. Truly closing the gap will only be achievable with new policy directions, renewed community leadership, and capacity development of educators. We are delighted to host Lorraine, Warren, and Jacinta to discuss the challenges of educational disadvantage within majority indigenous schools and communities. What are the big issues faced by teachers, schools, and parents in majority-indigenous communities? What can educators, communities, and policymakers do to better meet the educational needs of students? The conversation is moderated by CIS education research fellow, Glenn Fahey. _________________________________________ Dr Lorraine Hammond AM, leads professional learning and coaching for literacy instruction for teachers and school leaders in some of Australia's most disadvantaged indigenous communities in the Kimberley region.

Join us as we tear into another controversial subject: Public Education. Last week we talked about disparity in outcomes and how understanding disparities and outcomes clarifies the issue of racism. Here we look at public education and the best way to improve some of those negative outcomes. While there are alternatives like private schools and home school, we discuss how charter schools are already making enormous differences in the areas with the worst outcomes. We just have to get out of their way.Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin MacleodPhoto: Element5 Digital on Unsplash

Terry Ryan knows education from every angle. He is the CEO of BLUUM - a non-profit organization working to develop leaders and support innovative schools in Idaho. Terry has a lot to say about charter schools, philanthropic funding, how to create a community of practice, and the ways that charters and districts might put aside their differences and capitalize on the strengths of each arm of education.He talks fast, but we wish we could hear even more of the wisdom that Terry has accumulated in his work in education. Have a listen, and take some notes on the lessons learned from a man who has opened 14 schools to date.Quotes: 08:45 “I call it (the collaboration between private philanthropic dollars and federal funding) a private-public partnership, and so far, we think it’s starting to show powerful results.” 13:50 “In the states that are growing, saying, ‘Let’s create more charter schools,’ has a lot of merit.”15:50 “Overall, charter school students outperform the traditional school students that they are matched against.” 22:55 “I get the most excited when you can take the charter school flexibility, freedoms, and innovation and… apply them to district schools.”39:30 “We’re trying to develop a community of practice (among charter schools) and that might be the biggest legacy to come out of this work.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion:Bluum - https://www.bluum.org/our-team/Building Hope - http://www.buildinghope.orgThe Thomas B.

I’ve thought about doing this episode for a while but I sat on it for a few weeks because it’s still in motion.  But now Betsy DeVos is confirmed as Secretary of Education I wanted to offer some thoughts on her work on educational issues, charter schools, as well as on the topic of schools more broadly. Spoiler alert: I graduated from my Master’s program!  And I wrote my thesis on what motivates children to learn in the absence of a formal curriculum, so we also talk a bit about whether schools as we know them, and specifically curriculum-based learning, is the best way to serve our children’s learning.

When it comes to giving students with disabilities the best education possible, early intervention and early detection are crucial – but not all families are equipped to access the resources they need. On this week’s podcast, Shana Cohen, assistant professor of education studies at UC San Diego, joined co-hosts Scott Lewis and Laura Kohn to talk about how children from different cultures sometimes receive varied levels of services for developmental disabilities. "A lot of times, it's an issue of advocacy," Cohen said. "So a lot of white middle-class families, they know where to go to get the services that their child needs. A lot of Latino families or African-Americans families might not know where to go." There's also an information gap when it comes to looking out for symptoms of developmental disability, Cohen said. Seth Schwartz, an attorney who works with families of children with disabilities, also joined the podcast, and Lewis and Kohn discuss a study by the National Center on Education Outcomes that found special education students can perform at grade level with adequate accommodations.

Much has been written lately about the amount of debt incurred by students pursuing bachelor's degrees at four year institutions. But what about community college? We'll welcome Jessica Braithwaite, a postdoctoral research associate at the Community College Research Center at Columbia University's Teachers College, to the show to discuss whether or not this is a viable option for many students. We'll also take a closer look at the role Greek life, i.e., fraternities and sororities, can play on campus and discuss the things you need to consider when using funds from a 529 plan to pay for college.
