Have ever considered about education trends or educational terms are changing overtime?

when I saw this picture, I had strong feelings about the evolution of education.

It is sad to see the last bullet that “overworking and underpaying “ equals “the facts” nowadays for kids.

Finding videos, podcasts, and more that will engage all students can be a challenge, but there are ways to make the process easier.

Curation might not be a word in your everyday vocabulary, but it’s something we do every day. We find content we like and tell other people about it—a link to a blog post that a friend or family member might enjoy, or a link to a YouTube video that a colleague might want to share with their students.

When taking on the role of a curator for your students, there are a few things you can do to handpick resources that support every student in your class.

The following list of tips for curating resources includes some of my favorite spots to find content for students.

1. THINK OF CONTENT IN CATEGORIES

2. CHOOSE CONTENT BASED ON LEARNING GOALS

3. SELECT RELEVANT AND AUTHENTIC CONTENT

4. EXTEND A LESSON AND CONNECT TO INTERESTS

5. DECIDE HOW TO ORGANIZE AND DISTRIBUTE CONTENT

6. CURATE WITH COLLEAGUES AND STUDENTS

• Intensive, sustained, systematic phonics. We could substantially accelerate students’ mastery of the phonetic code in K-1—and still have time for kids to read and listen to far more fiction and nonfiction texts.
• Reading/general knowledge. If most students have mastered decoding in the 1st grade, they could spend record amounts of time in 2nd and 3rd grade reading literature, history, and science texts to build their knowledge base and vocabulary, which are critical to effective comprehension.
• Vocabulary instruction. Most of a rich vocabulary is acquired through abundant reading. But research also shows that we can reliably supplement this with targeted, embedded vocabulary instruction.
• Discussion. To become confident, articulate speakers, students must engage in frequent, purposeful discussions about what they read. We could multiply the length and frequency of such discussions, which animate an appreciation of reading and are excellent preparation for writing.
• Writing and writing instruction. Writing has an unsurpassed capacity to help us think logically, express ourselves clearly, and understand, analyze, and retain content. It often promotes dramatic, measurable improvements across the curriculum and is crucial to success in innumerable careers.

As I am pursuing my goal as a licensed teacher, I am more aware of both the hardships and joy the that teachers have. On Teacher’s Day, I’d like to say: Happy Teacher’s Day to All : )
