Theme "Future Challenges and Educational Respinse" - Fostering Global, Innovative and Cooperative Education
Globalisation - prepating students with future skills
Innovation - the need to create instructional delivery sys tt help studetns address challenges in innovative ways
Coperation -
Programme - school visits, future classroom, global seminar & Forum

Education Theme: Globalisation
- The nature of work keeps changing
Challenges
- workers must communicate well and use ICT effectively
workers must be a strong foundation in 21st centruy skills
workers must have a strong foundation in-depth knowledge of mathemtics, science and anguage to be carrer and college ready
Educational Responses
- help learners become comfortable in other languages

Education Theme: Innovation
- teachers and students need expertise lin 21st centurey tools and knowledge
Challenges
- teachers must facilitate the mastery of subject amtter content and 21st century skills thorugh resources such as ICT, online tools and adaptive technologies
- teachers must understand and have the opporutinty to learn and practice information technology if they are to effective

Education Theme: Cooperation
Challenges
- forming partnerships with informal educators (in museums, libraries) as well as with businesses
- creaing opportunities for students to collaborate across regions and cultures
- build a regional claeringhouse fo best practices in education
agree on common indicators to measure progress

Priorities:
1. Future skills development in mathemtics, science, language ....refer to handout

Education Policy for a Different Future: Recreating Education for our Students - Susan Sclafani (The Pearson Foundation)
- Journey to a knowledge-based society - from local to national to global perspective
- from agiculture, industry, sevice (deprivatizing of family-functions) motivated and self-reliatant citizens, knowledge (Access to innovation and knowledge systems) risk-taking entreprenuers, focussed on the global context and technological advance
- demand for skills hs changes from routine manual to non-routine analytic and non-routine interactive
- Profile of successful workers good academic performance, able to use 1st centruy skills, creative and innovative, able to learn very quickly
- to solve the problems of the future, we have to go beyond the solutions of the past - Albert Einstein
Growth in baseline qualifications (ISEC
PISA: Mathematics Literacy)
Canada's follow-up study of 2000 PISA (http://www.oecd.org/document/20/0,3746,en_32252351_32236191_44571668_1_1_1_1,00.html)
- from PISA results with should be included into the curriculum (identify problems in cross-curricular settings) http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2007/2007049.pdf
Significant changes in Mathematics
- Learn more by covering less: more time for each concept vs mile long, inch deep
- Focus on mathematical practices
-construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
- model with Mathematics (thrugh AfL)
- Reasoning abstractly and quantitatively
- Greater focus on transformational geometry, probability and statistics
Significant Changes in English Language Arts
- higher levels of text complexity
- reading to learn content knowledge (how does one discuss science, mathemtics)
- focus in writing on composing arguments; able to triangulate which text gives the best reasoning
- greater focus on informational texts in addition to literary text
- standards for reading, writing, listening, speaking and language skills across disciplines
Effective Curriculm-based Assessment
- thoughfully constructed course designs captured in a syllabus and curriculum
- quality teacher training matched to the course syllabi

New 3 Es of Education

1. Enabling students to reach their potential through increased access to educational resources and experts that extend learning beyond the capacities or limitations of their school or community.
2. Engaging students in rich, compelling learning experiences that develop deeper knowledge and skill development especially the problem-solving, creativity and critical thinking skills so highly desired for our world today.
3. Empowering students to take responsibility for their own educational destinies and to explore knowledge with an unfettered curiosity, thus creating a new generation of life long learners.
