A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Promising Practices: New Ways to Improve Teacher Quality - September 1998 Achieving Excellence In The Teaching Profession Every child needsand deservesdedicated, outstanding teachers, who know their subject matter, are effectively trained, and know how to teach to high standards and to make learning come alive for students. President Clinton September 1998 Teaching is the essential profession, the one that makes all other professions possible. Without well-qualified, caring, and committed teachers, neither improved curricula and assessments, nor safe schoolsnot even the highest standards in the worldwill ensure that our children are prepared for the challenges and opportunities in America's third century. More than ever before in our history, education will make the difference between those who will prosper in the new economy and those who will be left behind. Teaching is the profession that is shaping this education and therefore America's futuremolding the skills of our future workforce and laying the foundation for good citizenship and full participation in community and civic life. Accordingly, what teachers know and are able to do is of critical importance to the nation, as is the task of preparing and supporting the career-long development of teachers' knowledge and skills. Yet, while we do not ask our doctors to perform surgery after just several weeks of clinical experience, we expect students to prepare to become teachers with only a few weeks of in-classroom training. While employees in high-performance industries have opportunities for professional growth and learning, many teachers do not receive the opportunities for continuous learning that they need to teach effectively.

Individuals need the relevant skills to help them adapt to a society characterised by changing patterns of employment, the decline of traditional jobs, the growth of new technologies and the need to develop a proactive approach to change. The Dearing report in 1997 stressed the importance of developing skills within the higher education curriculum. While support for skills development has always been implicit within the curriculum, universities are now taking action to make skills more explicit within programmes of study. The Learning and Teaching Committee has therefore approved the following University-wide strategy for Queen's to encourage and support the development of skills in all students. 2 Policy Statement (a) Categorising and Defining Skills The three categories of skills described below should be an integral part of the students' learning experience at Queen's and should be developed and supported.

ABOUT TEACHING #47 A Newsletter of the Center for Teaching Effectiveness January 1995 Issue Editor Barbara J. Duch What is Problem-Based Learning?* Problem-based learning (PBL), at its most fundamental level, is an instructional method characterized by the use of "real world" problems as a context for students to learn critical thinking and problem solving skills, and acquire knowledge of the essential concepts of the course. Using PBL, students acquire life long learning skills which include the ability to find and use appropriate learning resources. The process used in PBL is the following: Students are presented with a problem (case, research paper, video tape, for example). Students (in groups) organize their ideas and previous knowledge related to the problem, and attempt to define the broad nature of the problem. Throughout discussion, students pose questions, called "learning issues," on aspects of the problem that they do not understand. These learning issues are recorded by the group. Students are continually encouraged to define what they know - and more importantly - what they don't know. Students rank, in order of importance, the learning issues generated in the session. They decide which questions will be followed up by the whole group, and which issues can be assigned to individuals, who later teach the rest of the grouop. Students and instructor also discuss what resources will be needed in order to research the learning issues, and where they could be found.

Backpack Express Questions and Answers about Core Knowledge Does Crossroads have a Core Knowledge curriculum? Where does Core Knowledge come from? E.D. Hirsch, Jr., a professor of English literature at the University of Virginia, asked why his college students could not read and effectively understand literature. His inquiries led him to discover that students often displayed large gaps in their knowledge base. These gaps precluded college-level understanding of English literature. Hirsch realized that literacy depended upon much more than the ability to simply decode English grammar. Literacy depends upon a knowledge base shared by author and reader alike. Hirsch solicited the advice of hundreds of scholars and teachers and found a wide range of agreement about what knowledge and background information is essential for literacy in our increasingly globalized society. Hirsch then established a non-profit Core Knowledge Foundation to assist schools like Crossroads in implementing Core Knowledge into their curriculum.

39. Teaching And Research The University believes it is essential that research and as appropriate into thecurriculum and their teaching;; They should update their knowledge and skills http://www.ex.ac.uk/admin/academic/tls/tqa/teachres.htm

Teaching and Research TQA Manual - Introduction and Contents 1 In its 1997 Analytical Account in support of the Continuation of Quality Audit, the University argued strongly for "the continuing value of the link between teaching and research" and that teaching should be based on "sound and relevant research". The HEQC team advised the University to "clarify what is meant when it asserts that the quality of teaching rests on sound and relevant research". The objective of this paper is to develop a set of principles establishing the essential links between teaching and research. It is intended that these will assist Schools in developing both their research strategies and their teaching programmes. 2 It is widely held that the link between teaching and research is an essential attribute of a University as research informs the range of advanced options available in undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes and stimulates the spirit of enquiry that should be a feature of student learning. The University believes it is essential that research and teaching co-exist in the same institution and that each should inform and support the other. 3 This paper describes the relationship between teaching and research that up to now has been implicit in most academic programmes. It considers the definition of the term "research", outlines the relationship that should exist between the research and the teaching undertaken by individual members of the University, and discusses the way in which research findings and research methodology may be incorporated into the curriculum.
