If you want to raise the bar of your teaching skills, one possible source of inspiration is to look at the accomplishments of Jaime Escalante. Traveling to America from Bolivia, he ended up teaching at Garfield High School in the city of East Los Angeles, California. At the time, few people had the expectation that students there—low-income minorities—could master more advanced mathematics. Mr. Escalante believed differently, and he filled his students with high expectations and a high level of motivation and purpose. In 1982, every one of his advanced math students passed a calculus advanced placement test. This was so shocking to some people that it resulted in the test company refusing to accept the results. The students were forced to retake the test, and they again achieved good scores. [A movie was made about this called Stand and Deliver.] The entire level of expectation and belief in the students at Garfield High School changed. By 1991, about 600 students were taking advanced placement tests in math and other subjects—a huge change. Mr. Escalante was dynamic, caring, and highly committed to his students. He was able to connect with and inspire them. While the class was highly productive, there was always an upbeat, fun environment with lots of humor. Mr. Escalante exuded the belief that his students would reach a high level of achievement, and he backed up this confidence with effective teaching techniques: a competency-based approach with lots of practice done on a step-by-step basis, group learning and collaboration amongst students, providing students with real-world examples, etc. Mr. Escalante firmly believed that, with proper instruction, he’d make an exceptional learner out of every student. I bet he would also believe that, with proper instruction, every aspiring teacher could reach or surpass his level of achievement with his students. In fact, Mr. Escalante wrote the following: “I always have to laugh when someone suggests that my program is dependent upon one teacher’s personality (my own) and could never serve as a model for use in other schools. It just shows how far away we have drifted from the fundamentals of teaching.” https://lnkd.in/ezn9DwBi

"There is a real advantage gained being a leader in a school, being at the top of your Prep School and also being in a place that has a rich co-curricular programme..." It was great to welcome Phil Mann from Wellington College on Friday to speak to our parents about the broader senior school admissions process and the benefits of a Year 9 entry. We feel very strongly about the benefits of Years 7 and 8 in a Prep School at St George's School Windsor Castle, which is why, under Henry Knight's incredible leadership (with two headships underpinning his experience), our Senior Prep Faculty has been a real focus for us. Not least because the young children in our schools need to develop a very specific set of skills to adapt to disruptive workplaces and a consistency of global change when they leave school in the next 15 years. A large piece of work by the World Economic Forum, 'Future of Jobs Report 2023' sets out the skills needed. 83 international companies from 45 economies contributed to this report. In a world where the only consistency is change, the following skills are seen as the most important: Analytical thinking Creative thinking Resilience Flexibility and agility Empathy Social influence Active listening My combining our High Performance Learning Advanced Cognitive Attributes and values, attitudes and attributes, with our Pre-Senior Baccalaureate assessment framework, alongside the philosophy of the International Baccalaureate, our Years 7 and 8 programme empowers students to think deeply about these skills. There is evidence that very young children are starting to hit key developmental milestones later. If this is the case, and they 'grow up' (or think they do) much younger a few years later, then there is a precious window to develop these skills within a nurturing setting where mistakes can be made and true growth and confidence realised. Amidst the complexity of educating for the future, IAPS schools are well placed to nurture these 'real world ready; skills, and this includes Years 7 and 8 - where our students not only think deeply, but begin to test them out as young leaders.
