TEACHER SHORTAGES: In primary schools, there is a national shortage of 7700 full time teachers (FTEs). Since most teachers work parttime, this means that many more teachers are missing in practice. (Many teachers work extra hours to get everything done, and do end up working fulltime for a parttime salary). In secondary schools, there is a shortage of 3800 FTEs, and at MBOs (vocational tertiary education), between 900 and 1400 teachers. Many people are retraining as a teacher as a so-called side streamer, but simultaneously a lot of teachers retire or switch jobs because of the staff shortages in many other sectors. As a consequence, especially the less privileged children in the bigger cities are the victims. They often cannot get the guidance they need, and their parents sometimes don’t have the resources or the means to compensate. This problem only gets worse and it will expand to society as a whole. What does the new government do? Drastically cutting budgets for education. What a train wreck! People who have received less education, on average, encounter more difficulties to find a job, experience more financial uncertainty, have higher debts, experience more difficulties reading, writing and understanding information, are more pessimistic about the future, live less healthy lifestyles, become more often chronically ill, and die earlier. So, the money the government thinks to save now will hit back much harder in a few years time. Unbelievable! From my side, I try to help a bit where I can. Of course this doesn’t solve all problems, but I hope to make things a little easier for some professionals. For example, I help Dutch primary schools with the communication with their international parents, I volunteer for the VoorleesExpress, who help young, non-Dutch native children to improve their Dutch vocabulary and reading skills, I have given lectures at the University of applied sciences, I gave presentations to 3rd year secondary students to help them choose their exam profiles, and I have been a member of the parent council of my children’s primary school for 10 years (and still jump in every now and then), organizing many activities for the parents and taking some pressure off the teachers. But, what we all really need is more money and more qualified teachers. Not less ??♀? https://nos.nl/l/2548648 #TeacherShortage #Education #rightwinggovernment #trainwreck #budgetcuts #NavigateTheNetherlands

To ensure the quality of education for each child quality care of teachers are also needed! The role of teachers became more than teaching; leading, consulting, inspiring, motivating, building, archtecturing, weaving, knitting, designing, constructing, listening, training, walking and running alongside/behind/ahead, smiling, frowning, raising not only brows :) and so much more..... Teaching is a live process, it is a magical process. The real MAGIC OF LIFE!!! #onderwijsvoorelkkind

In the German context, dual teacher training programs represent an important step toward a more practical and classroom-oriented education. The early integration of practical experiences addresses one of the most common criticisms of teacher training in Germany: the separation between theory and practice, which leaves many future teachers insufficiently prepared for the real challenges of the classroom. This dual approach could reduce dropout rates and attract a greater diversity of students, including professionals from other fields, helping to mitigate the teacher shortage in the country. Moreover, it offers a pathway for future teachers to build a strong connection with schools from the beginning, which would contribute to their commitment and adaptation within the German educational system. *** Im deutschen Kontext stellen duale Lehramtsstudieng?nge einen wichtigen Schritt in Richtung einer praxisorientierteren und realit?tsn?heren Lehrerausbildung dar. Die frühzeitige Einbindung praktischer Erfahrungen spricht eine der h?ufigsten Kritiken an der Lehrerausbildung in Deutschland an: die Trennung von Theorie und Praxis, die viele angehende Lehrkr?fte unzureichend auf die realen Herausforderungen im Klassenzimmer vorbereitet. Dieser duale Ansatz k?nnte die Abbrecherquoten senken und eine gr??ere Vielfalt an Studierenden anziehen, einschlie?lich Fachkr?ften aus anderen Bereichen, und so den Lehrkr?ftemangel im Land abmildern. Zudem bietet er zukünftigen Lehrkr?ften die M?glichkeit, von Anfang an eine starke Bindung zu den Schulen aufzubauen, was zu ihrem Engagement und ihrer Anpassung im deutschen Bildungssystem beitragen würde. *** En el contexto alemán, los programas duales de formación docente representan un paso importante hacia una educación más práctica y orientada a la realidad de las aulas. La integración temprana de experiencias prácticas responde a una de las críticas más comunes hacia la formación docente en Alemania: la separación entre teoría y práctica, que deja a muchos futuros maestros poco preparados para los retos reales del aula. Este enfoque dual podría reducir las tasas de abandono y atraer a una mayor diversidad de estudiantes, incluyendo a profesionales de otras áreas, ayudando a mitigar la escasez de docentes en el país. Además, ofrece una vía para que los futuros profesores desarrollen un fuerte vínculo con las escuelas desde el principio, lo que contribuiría a su compromiso y adaptación en el sistema educativo alemán. #education #Germany #teaching #Lehramtstudium

"Great job, here's your star for it!" ??– Does this really motivate pupils? ?? Let's take a look at educational research and a recent article by our professor and co-director of the LEAD Graduate School & Research Network Prof Dr Kou Murayama, who says: "The motivational effect of rewards is often overestimated, while the natural joy of learning is underestimated." ? But how can school leaders and teachers boost self-motivation, i.e. intrinsic motivation?

???? ?????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ?????? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ?????????? ????????????????’?? ???????????? ????????????? Grades at high schools are no longer announced in class but posted on digital platforms like Magister. Parents can also check these grades, which leads to stress among students, according to a survey conducted by the high school Jordan Montessori Lyceum in Zeist among five hundred students. In response, the school is now running a two-month trial where parents will be blocked from viewing their children’s grades. Magister is a good example of how digitalization changes not just the medium, but the entire way things are used. It’s not just that grades now appear in an app instead of on paper; there are many other effects. As a teacher, if you quickly enter a batch of test scores into Magister on a Friday afternoon, you might ruin the weekend for students who received low grades. And as a student, in the past you knew when to expect your grades—in the class of the specific teacher—but now, grades can come to you digitally, at any time. And, your parents have access to these grades too. At the school in Zeist, students reported getting text messages from their parents saying, “Hey, your grades are up.” That causes stress. I asked a friend who is a high school teacher, how they handle this issue at his school. “We’ve at least agreed not to post grades during vacations,” he said. “And what about giving feedback?” I asked. “If you send out the grades one day but only discuss corrections in class later, do students actually take in that feedback?” He explained, “I’ve started including digital feedback along with the grade. Students write their answers in designated boxes on pre-printed answer sheets, which we then scan. This way, I can add written feedback for each answer, and give at the same time as the grade.” In some ways, he even prefers digital grading, as when students would receive their grades on paper, they were often more interested in each other’s scores than in the feedback they got. Digitalization brings new possibilities, but also new questions. Previously, grades would come through students to their parents, making students the “owners” of their grades, in a way. When grades went digital, we should have had a discussion: whose grades are these, really? If you would want to give students back more control over their grades, you could let parents see scores only after students have seen them themselves. Another option would be not to let parents view grades in real-time but to release a monthly report, almost like a more frequent report card. Digitalization is much more than just moving from paper to an app. It usually brings a whole new way of working, with practical and social implications. And it requires thoughtful design. // Translation of my 'How hard can it be?'-column in this weekend's de Volkskrant. #Howhardcanitbe #column #design #digitalization #responsibledigitalization #grades

An article in the St. Galler Tagblatt highlights the initial research findings of the project "Digitising Educational Practices," part of NRP 80, which examines the impact of Covid-19 on the education sector. Dr. Valentin Unger and Julian Brauchle share insights on the emergence learning gaps, the transition to remote teaching, and the increased use of digital learning support systems during and after the pandemic. The research team emphasizes the importance of emergency plans and their regular practice, as well as the standardized use of learning platforms in the cantons to enable swift implementation when needed. The group is also exploring children's perspectives on these topics and the link between socioeconomic backgrounds and learning losses. ??

The autumn semester has begun with record numbers of applications for higher education in Sweden, highlighting the need for quality programs. The Swedish government has planned to increase funding for engineering programs, but savings requirements and rising local costs effectively negate these funds. The student union at Kungliga Tekniska h?gskolan and other important engineering universities in Sweden support the government's ambitions but demand concrete actions rather than empty promises. They urge the government to take decisive action to support engineering education in Sweden. #HigherEducation #Engineering #KTH Lunds universitet, Chalmers tekniska h?gskola, Tekniska h?gskolan vid Link?pings universitet, Uppsala teknolog- och naturvetark?r, Lule? tekniska universitet, Teknik och naturvetenskap vid Ume? universitet
