George theoharis is associate dean and douglas biklen is dean of the school of education at syracuse university. By george theoharis and douglas biklen there has been much discussion recently as the new teacher and principal evaluation system, called annual professional performance review (appr), has resulted in 2% of teachers in the syracuse city school district (scsd) being rated as highly effective, 58 percent effective, 33 percent developing, and 7 percent ineffective. A post-standard editorial dated oct. 15 shed important light on this as did a washington post blog. We want to provide some additional context.
Main article: indigenous education indigenous education refers to the inclusion of indigenous knowledge, models, methods, and content within formal and non-formal educational systems. Often in a post-colonial context, the growing recognition and use of indigenous education methods can be a response to the erosion and loss of indigenous knowledge and language through the processes of colonialism. Furthermore, it can enable indigenous communities to "reclaim and revalue their languages and cultures, and in so doing, improve the educational success of indigenous students. ".
Additionally, when i asked twitter in the committee meeting why it doesn’t prohibit holocaust denial, it confirmed that holocaust denial is permissible on its platform as long as it’s not “targeted†at jews. While these responses were surely stunning to those of us in the committee – and apparently to the international press – it is a testament to the true state of affairs when it comes to understanding modern antisemitism. It is for precisely this reason that all social media platforms should be adopting the ihra definition of antisemitism and using it as an educational tool rather than for censorship.
Citizenship education should take an active learning approach. It isn't sufficient to just describe civic participation, ask students to read about it, and then take a quiz. Student should be provided opportunities to actively participate, directly engaging in citizenship as much as possible. Methods of active learning can be as simple as classroom discussions, collaborative learning groups, and organized debates where students can practice defending various issues while thinking critically about others' viewpoints.
‘the perspective of a professional educator’ more example sentences ‘it also helps each student develop a meaningful relationship with at least one educator in the middle school. ’‘martha became a trustee because she wanted the perspective of a professional educator on the board. ’‘for the first half of the last century, john dewey was dean of american educators. ’.
This personal narrative autoethnography of my lived experiences as a middle-school service-learning course teacher has helped me solve a personal mystery and present an important perspective for the k-12 service-learning field. With an eye on revealing a unique service-learning classroom concept to educational leaders, enhancing middle level teacher education, and hopes of providing greater opportunities for advancing research on service learning in k-12 education, this study has also aided me in understanding my professional self and my subjective educational theory through a personal interpretive framework (kelchtermans, 1993, 1999, 2009). Using autoethnography (ellis, 2004; ellis & bochner, 2006) as a method to explore my own experiences as a middle school service-learning teacher and the perceptions of critical friends— colleagues, family members, and friends—who have been significant in my experiences, i am able to present an evocative personal narrative on what it means to be a service-learning teacher. Overarching findings from this study reveal that a middle grades service-learning teacher is a self-authored individual (baxter magolda, 1999, 2009; kegan, 1994) who is committed to community-engaged education (dewey, 1900, 1933), possesses a strong “i must†(noddings, 2002b, p. 20) perspective on relational care, and are for development in servant leadership (greenleaf, 1977; sergiovanni, 1992; bowman, 2005).
Funds saved under an education ira are meant to be used to cover future educational expenses such as tuition, books, and uniforms at the elementary, secondary, and higher education levels. The funds in an education ira can be withdrawn tax-free when they are needed for educational purposes. Education iras are also referred to as "coverdell accounts" or simply as an "esa. " despite their "ira" moniker, they are for educational expenses, not retirement savings, though they work in a similar way.
Higher education is a major concern for families, the cost of which continues to rise (particularly where private schools and colleges are concerned). Education iras provide parents and their children the opportunity to start saving for educational expenses when their children are still very young. This way, contributions invested in the account have more time to grow with the benefit of compounding interest.

Related to the issues concerning the aims and functions of education and schooling rehearsed above are those involving the specifically epistemic aims of education and attendant issues treated by social and virtue epistemologists. (the papers collected in kotzee 2013 and baehr 2016 highlight the current and growing interactions among social epistemologists, virtue epistemologists, and philosophers.
Plato regards education as a means to achieve justice, both individual justice and social justice. According to plato, individual justice can be obtained when each individual develops his or her ability to the fullest. In this sense, justice means excellence. For the greeks and plato, excellence is virtue. According to socrates, virtue is knowledge. Thus, knowledge is required to be just. From this plato concludes that virtue can be obtained through three stages of development of knowledge: knowledge of one's own job, self-knowledge, and knowledge of the idea of the good. According to plato, social justice can be achieved when all social classes in a society, workers, warriors, and rulers are in a harmonious relationship. Plato believes that all people can easily exist in harmony when society gives them equal educational opportunity from an early age to compete fairly with each other. Without equal educational opportunity, an unjust society appears since the political system is run by unqualified people; timocracy, oligarchy, defective democracy, or tyranny will result. Modern education in japan and other east asian countries has greatly contributed to developing their societies in economic terms. Nevertheless, education in those countries has its own problems. In particular the college entrance examination in japan, korea, and other east asian countries caused serious social injustices and problems: unequal educational opportunity, lack of character education, financial burden on parents, and so on. Thus, to achieve justice, modern society needs the platonic theory education, for plato's philosophy of education will provide a comprehensive vision to solve those problems in education. There is also some controversy about the relationship between education and economics. It is a popular view common in east and west that businesses should indirectly control or even take over education to economically compete with other nations. However, plato disagrees with this notion since business is concerned mainly with profit whereas a true education is concerned with the common good based upon the rational principle of individual and social justice.
