The development of Essential Learnings is also about enabling students to reflect critically on their own thinking and to have a constructive understanding of their learning. The Essential Learnings Frameworks help educators of young people from birth to Year 10 focus, co-ordinate and integrate the teaching of existing and emerging fields of knowledge in concert with the demands and contexts of the 21 st Century.

Contemporary Literacy: Essential Skills For The 21st Century As computers became essential in the workplace and must reexamine their assignmentsand teaching strategies. and accept the fact that knowledge is changing so http://www.infotoday.com/MMSchools/mar03/murray.shtml
Extractions: Economic forecasters and business analysts predict that 21st century jobs will require information-processing skills. They expect a fundamental shift from production to information management, with a much higher percentage of the workforce employed in service industries. The 1990 Department of Labor report of the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) identifies information and technology as two of the five competencies essential for employment. The Bertelsmann Foundation and the AOL Time Warner Foundation joined with experts from education, business, and government to convene an international 21st Century Literacy Summit in March 2002. The White Paper resulting from that conference concludes: The explosive growth of technology in every aspect of society offers us a unique opportunity to engage our citizens in economic and civic life. Digital technologies have given us new and better ways to teach and learn. They have made us more efficient at work. And they are enabling us to participate more directly in the governance of our lives.... In return, they demand that we continually acquire and develop new knowledge and skills. Information and communication technologies are raising the bar on the competencies needed to succeed in the 21st century, and they are compelling us to revisit many of our assumptions and beliefs.
TLC: Community Using essential Questions to Focus teaching and Learning essential questions were ateacher trying to help his students develop their knowledge and skills. http://www.techforlearning.org/essquest.html
Extractions: Essential questions were conceived by Dr. Theodore Sizer, Dean of Brown University School of Education after studying high schools in this country for a Carnegie research project. His book, Horace's Compromise describes the frustration of a teacher trying to help his students develop their knowledge and skills. Among factors like the schedule, course structures, the evaluation process and the physical space, Horace felt like the most important questions were almost impossible to address. The idea of essential questions, formed by scholars, teachers and students, has become a cornerstone of many reform efforts around the country. Teachers who use essential questions report that they are a powerful tool for focusing daily classroom activity on a meaningful goal. For students, essential questions are a clear statement of expectations - what they will know and be able to do, allowing them to take more responsibility for taking learning away from every lesson.

Extractions: Institute for Law School Teaching hosted by The John Marshall Law School Chicago, Illinois; June 7, 2003 Asking the Right Questions by Barbara Glesner Fines QUESTIONS, ANSWERS, AND LAW SCHOOL TEACHING Barbara Glesner Fines Walk into a typical law school classroom and you are likely to see a professor at the front of the room talking (perhaps with a visual aid on the chalkboard, overhead projector, or computer slide show). Stick around for a few moments, and the professor is likely to ask a question, either directed to a single student in the class or flung to the air for a willing student to raise their hand and grasp. This is the so-called Socratic method in law schools today and questions are the key to its practice. Along with pure lecture, the overwhelming majority of law school classes are taught by a dialogue method. Sometimes, of course, this teaching method is really simply lecture. Questions are used merely as punctuation marks, occasional breaks from the action to keep the students alert or to check their understanding. Lecture may be precisely the teaching method called for: when providing an overview of a subject or explaining an overall theory or method, for example, lecture is one of the most efficient methods of conveying information available. Students will leave the classroom with pages of notes and the warm glow of having learned much. When you need to cover some doctrinal ground and you dont expect your students to achieve much more than familiarity with that territory, use lecture.

Extractions: Institute for Law School Teaching hosted by The John Marshall Law School Chicago, Illinois; June 7, 2003 Keeping It "Live" by Cynthia Nance It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge Albert Einstein The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. William Arthur Ward Human Beings, no matter what their background, need to feel that they are safe in order to open themselves to transformation. They need to feel a connection between a given subject matter and who they are in order for knowledge to take root. That security and that connectedness are seldom present in a classroom that recognizes the students cognitive capacities alone. People often assume that attention to the emotional lives of students, to their spiritual yearnings and their imaginative energies will somehow inhibit the intellects free play, drown it in a wash of sentiment, or deflect it into realms of fantasy and escape, and that the critical and analytical faculties will be muffled, reined in or blunted as a result. I believe the reverse is true Jane Thompkins You are probably familiar with the old cliche about law school teaching and teachers, The first year they scare you to death, the second year, they work you to death, and the third year they bore you to death. Regardless of what students way however, there is no need for your classes to add support such an inaccurate notion of legal education. This workshop will provide suggestions for ways to keep your classes interesting and lively.

Extractions: Email: essential.skills@qub.ac.uk THE STRATEGY In 2002 the Department for Employment and Learning launched its Strategy for improving adult literacy and numeracy skills. The Strategy aims to raise standards by introducing new National Standards and the Northern Ireland Adult Literacy and Adult Numeracy Core Curricula as the basis for learning programmes and individual learning plans. It also aims to expand provision of Essential Skills and to engage new learners. In order to allow this to happen, it is necessary to widen the tutor base and to make training available to teachers of literacy and numeracy. The strategy further proposed that a tutor education framework be developed to provide Initial and Continuing Professional Development for new and existing tutors. This would ensure a well-trained body of tutors who could implement the curriculum provision of Essential Skills, enhance good practice and provide a better career structure for practitioners.

Ten Essential Clinical Informatics Skills However, simply teaching practising clinicians to use information 5 A proposal for10 essential clinical informatics how to keep personal knowledge and skills http://www.rcsed.ac.uk/journal/vol44_4/4440013.htm
Extractions: Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia Information skills are basic to good medical practice. Every clinician needs to understand the principles of data interpretation, the logical foundations of the diagnostic process, and the management of uncertainty in clinical knowledge. Understanding the implications of using one medium rather than another is central to developing effective communication skills as these communication options become commonplace in the community. Keywords: medical informatics, communication, information technology (IT) J.R.Coll.Surg.Edinb., 44, August 1999, 269-70 INTRODUCTION Medical informatics is the name now given to the study of clinical information and communication processes. It is the rational study of the way we think about patients, and the way that treatments are defined, selected and developed. It is the study of how medical knowledge is created, shaped, shared and applied. Ultimately, it is the study of how we organise ourselves to create and run healthcare organisations.There is a pressing need to educate health care workers in the basic skills needed to operate the computer tools they encounter in the workplace. However, simply teaching practising clinicians to use information technology (IT) is not enough. Just as the ability to suture does not make one a surgeon, the ability to surf the Web does not imply that one understands the principled use of information.
