Administrative The purpose of the Teaching Scholars Program is to improve the teaching, scholarship and academic leadership of faculty members in the UCSF School of Medicine. Each scholar will spend one year, part-time, in the program developing knowledge and skills in: teaching, curriculum development, educational evaluation and research, academic leadership and career advancement. The program consists of a core seminar, faculty development workshops, a scholarly project completed under faculty direction, and a professional peer group. To participate in the program, scholars must obtain release time on Tuesday afternoons. Teaching Scholars will craft an individualized program of study to meet their own career objectives.
Extractions: Los Angeles, CA As early as 1927, medical educators worked to include physician-patient communication into the formal training of medical students. Today, the subject of cultural competence is gaining momentum within U.S. medical school curricula, adding a new level in the effort to teach the art of medicine. As medical students who value the importance of teaching physician-patient communication, we find ourselves negotiating with faculty to find ways to incorporate cultural competence into our own curriculum. We hope that our efforts will allow future medical students to learn important patient care skills: those that will allow them to forge strong partnerships with patients of many cultures. What is cultural competence?

Extractions: Queen's home page The development of skills is now high on the Government's agenda for education at all levels, as a way of ensuring that the UK workforce remains competitive in the global market. 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. (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.
Making Civics Real: Workshop 3: Essential Readings essential Readings. From Behaviorist to Constructivist teaching by Geoffrey Scheurman. tothis view is the behaviorist belief that knowledge exists outside of http://www.learner.org/channel/workshops/civics/workshop3/readings/behaviorist$1
Extractions: by Geoffrey Scheurman Constructivism refers to a set of related theories that deal with the nature of knowledge. The common denominator linking these theories is a belief that knowledge is created by people and influenced by their values and culture. In contrast to this view is the behaviorist belief that knowledge exists outside of people and independently of them, and that the major goal of a good education is to instill in students an accepted body of information and skills previously established by others. When the constructivist view is applied to teaching and learning in the social studies, the goal of a good education includes the development of (1) deep understanding of social studies problems and procedures, and (2) rigorously defensible beliefs about important disciplinary issues. This developmental process is enhanced when students learn to view problems and issues from different angles and to identify multiple perspectives within and outside the field of study. Ultimately, knowledge is constructed when students form their own interpretations of evidence submitted to them for review. The constructivist perspective has important implications for teaching and learning in the social studies. Much of social education has been directed toward the simple transmission of information and techniques for processing information. Constructivism has a natural affinity with approaches to teaching that are directed toward open-ended inquiry, and that encourage creative reflection on objects, events and cultural experience.

Extractions: Core curriculum may be viewed as a framework for achievement of Saskatchewan's Goals of Education through classroom instruction, intended to provide all Saskatchewan students with an education that will serve them well regardless of their choices after leaving school. It reinforces the teaching of basic skills and introduces an expanded range of new skills to the curriculum. To meet community and student needs at the local level, provision is made within the Core Curriculum to offer Locally Determined Options . In recognition of the diverse needs of students, provision is made through the Adaptive Dimension for teachers to adapt instruction, the learning environment and instructional resources. Second language courses, including Russian, fall into the category of Locally Determined Options. The Common Essential Learnings will be incorporated into Russian language courses, and the Adaptive Dimension will provide teachers with the flexibility to adapt the program to meet the needs of a diverse student population. The Common Essential Learnings are six integrated areas containing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and abilities which are considered important for learning in all school subjects. Their purpose is to help students better acquire the subject matter under study and to develop in students certain skills, abilities, values and understandings which they will need in life and for future learning.

Extractions: Learn About ARTS STANDARDS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW ARTS ESSENTIAL LEARNINGS Arts Essential Learning One focuses on arts knowledge and skills. The arts have broad and deep content, and the K-12 arts frameworks distribute this content knowledge over the course of 13 years, so no one school year is overloaded, and so that arts learning is sequential and spread over time. In addition, the K-12 frameworks describe, grade level by grade level, what all students should know and be able to do at specific grade levels, a clear road map for teachers. Within these Essential Learning students not only learn specific concepts and vocabulary at each grade level, but the skills and techniques for each art form. They learn about various artists and cultures in the context of times, and the audiences skills that will provide them a comfort level when they attend art settings and performances. Arts Essential Learning One is the only Essential Learning category that includes concepts and skills unique to each of the four arts disciplines: dance, music, theater, and visual arts. Arts Essential Learning Two focuses on teaching the artistic processes.

Extractions: CRITICAL THINKING SOURCE Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Critical Thinking Jenzi Silverman and Shelley Smith Over the past few years, critical thinking has become an increasingly important topic in the world of higher education. The following discussion attempts to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the topic. What do you mean by "critical thinking?" As with many "hot topics" people often carry on conversations about critical thinking without having a clear or agreed upon definition. While there are multiple definitions out there that are both general and discipline specific, at it's broadest levels critical thinking has been defined as "thinking that is purposeful, reasoned, and goal directed" and "the ability to analyze carefully and logically information and ideas from multiple perspectives." This requires students to go beyond the questions of "What knowledge exists?" and "How do I solve this problem?" and to engage the deeper questioning of that knowledge. Students are expected to ask, "Why is this assumed to be 'true'?" "What criteria can I use to evaluate these assumption?" "Is there a better way to solve these problems?" In more concrete terms, students demonstrate the ability to think by being able to: analyze complex issues and make informed decisions;
