Is ESY (Extended School Year) a gray area in special education? Watch as Karen breaks it down and clears up the confusion. #ESY #ExtendedSchoolYear #SpecialEducation #StudentSupport #IEP

Did you know that in many European #education systems, students often have to fail before they get the help they need? 🤔💡🇪🇺 This approach, known as the "Wait-to-Fail" model, delays targeted #support until students have already fallen significantly behind due to failing grades or behavioural #challenges. Unfortunately, this can widen learning gaps, making it harder for these students to catch up. At #MTSSK, we’re aiming to change this by testing a modern #education approach, the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), in kindergarten. Find out more about our #vision and expected #results in this infographic! 👇 #MTSS #HorizonEU #EarlyChildhoodEducation #Inequalities

Building confidence is an important part of supporting children who have been out of school and have experienced learning loss. 📚 In #Nepal Street Child is grouping children according to where they're at in their learning rather than by their age, so they learn at the right pace for them. This is part of our Teaching at the Right Level program (TaRL), which increases learning achievements very quickly and consequently boosts children's confidence and interest in education. The TaRL methodology focuses on building foundational skills, compared to the traditional focus on covering a curriculum. Students are assessed regularly and moved into different groups as they progress, which means each student is getting the quality education they need 🎒🌟 #EducationMatters #InclusiveEducation

The Origins of the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) started in 1997 to provide a well-rounded education for children aged 3 to 12. A group of international educators created it to focus on best practices in teaching and learning, going beyond national boundaries. The PYP emphasizes inquiry-based learning, encouraging kids to explore their interests and think critically. It connects different subjects through themes, helping students see how knowledge relates to the world around them. This approach fosters a love for learning and develops important skills for the future. Today, the PYP is offered in over 150 countries. Its focus on the whole child ensures that students grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally, preparing them to be active and caring members of a global community. . . . . . #IBPYP #PrimaryYearsProgramme #InquiryBasedLearning #GlobalEducation #ChildDevelopment #HolisticEducation #InternationalBaccalaureate #EducationForAll

Early childhood educators and providers have big expectations from families and guardians. Something that can ease the pressure is good communication between the two. When everyone is on the same page, the relationships between the child and the teacher, and between the teacher and the guardians becomes much stronger. Children can take on more learning information in an environment filled with stable and positive relationships. Our "Communication with Families" course is a must. Earn 2 credits hours while learning to "Gain understanding of the implications of communication, and both it’s personal and relational outcomes between care providers and families." #ECE #ProfessionalDevelopment #ContinuingEducation #ParentsAndTeachers #Teacher #Daycare #PreSchool #CDA #CEUs

Today, the admissions window opens for those children due to start school in September 2025. But what does it mean if your primary school is part of a multi-academy trust such as ELAN? For parents, being part of a multi-academy trust (MAT) means your child's school is part of a larger group of schools working together under a single organisational structure. Day-to-day operations of individual schools generally remain the same, with minimal changes to the school routine for children. Our schools are very much individuals with their own characters and diverse communities. MATs such as ELAN share best practices, resources, and expertise across member schools, which can enhance educational quality. MATs can offer more opportunities for teacher development and career progression, potentially improving teaching quality. There is a more consistent approach to curriculum, assessment, and behaviour policies across our schools. Parents still apply for school places through the usual local processes, even if schools are part of a MAT. Individual schools within MATs still receive Ofsted inspections and performance ratings. Improved support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) through pooled resources and expertise. Enhanced opportunities for children through shared facilities and initiatives across MAT schools. While being part of a MAT can bring changes to how a school is managed and governed, for most parents and children, the day-to-day experience of school life remains largely unchanged. The main differences are often behind the scenes in terms of administration, resource sharing, and strategic planning across the group of schools. #ThoughtfulThursday #westonsupermare #worle #meadvale #banwell #locking #lockingvillage #elborough #northsomerset #extendlearning #extendlearningacademiesnetwork #extraordinaryeducation #ELAN #primaryschool #schooladmissions #curriculum #Admissions #UKEdChat #edteach #school #education #learning #teacherlife #teachersfollowteachers #teachers #primaryeducation #primaryteaching #bestschool #teamELAN #startingprimaryschool #schooleveryday #schoolchoice #backtoschool #edu #lovelearning #KS1 #KS2 #whatisschool

Addressing a Common Misconception in Adult Education As an adult educator, I'd like to dispel a prevalent myth that adult education is solely for individuals who struggle with literacy. This couldn't be further from the truth. Adult education encompasses a broad range of activities, including: - Professional development - Leisure pursuits - Community engagement - Vocational training - Personal growth - And many more….. In reality, adult education is a lifelong journey that begins at birth and continues until death. It's a continuous process of learning, adapting, and evolving. At every stage of our lives, we engage in some form of adult education, whether consciously or unconsciously. Let's work together to promote a more inclusive and accurate understanding of adult education.
