The document discusses photos taken by photographers in Cambodia and the UK that show children learning in various ways. Many of the same lessons like writing, art, music, and math were happening in both countries. It then discusses how CAFOD works to help ensure children in difficult situations can still go to school, such as providing tents after disasters or broadcasting lessons via radio for those who live too far from schools. CAFOD's goal is to help all children go to school as it believes education is a basic human right.
This article discusses an approach to ESL/EFL teaching that aims to help teachers bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the classroom. It proposes integrating an understanding of language variation across communication contexts, using corpus-based descriptive grammar, and incorporating scaffolded language learning activities based on sociocultural theory. This specific approach is intended to address challenges faced by K-12 teachers in connecting theory to practice by providing concrete models of language use.

Key points of comparison include differences in governance structures, funding models, types of institutions, and partnerships between schools in Poland, Canada, and other countries. The goal is to better understand how these systems have adapted to changes in information technology and learning theory.
Blackbourn,two unique organizational communication systems blackbourn-done focusWilliam Kritsonis
This article outlines two unique organizational communication systems - the "Who has the Dean's Ear?" suggestion box at a university school of education, and the "Express to the Top" employee feedback program at a local business. Both systems were designed to facilitate feedback and suggestions from internal stakeholders. Over four years, the suggestion box received an average of 60 entries per month and led to improvements. The business program encouraged employees to provide feedback and suggestions to improve various processes, which generated enthusiasm across the organization. The two systems show how novel approaches can effectively engage stakeholders in continuous organizational improvement.

This case involved 9 minority students who filed a federal lawsuit against the Texas Education Agency challenging the use of the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) exam as a graduation requirement. The plaintiffs argued that the TAAS exam was discriminatory because 20% of black and Hispanic students failed the exam, compared to only 10% of white students. The U.S. District Court ruled that using the TAAS exam as a graduation requirement did not violate Title VI regulations or the due process rights of Texas' minority students. The court found that the plaintiffs did not prove the TAAS exam was implemented despite disparities in education or that it perpetuated those disparities.

Selected Spotlights on Informatics Education in AustriaPeter Micheuz
This document discusses informatics education in Austrian schools. It provides examples of fields of activity and research around developing competence models, interventions in primary education, and reforms to the lower secondary curriculum and "Matura" exam. It outlines the stratified Austrian school system and describes efforts to introduce informatics at various levels, from non-formal education in primary schools to an obligatory 9th grade subject and electives in upper secondary. The document also notes inconsistencies between schools in their Matura exam topics in informatics and calls for a more standardized approach. Overall it aims to establish informatics as a foundation for digital education across the Austrian education system.
This document discusses information security as a key competence that should be taught in education frameworks and curricula. It outlines several frameworks that reference information security concepts, including protecting confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, availability, and reliability of information. The document proposes implementing information security education through learning tasks and a planning grid for lower secondary education. It argues that information security is ubiquitous and important for students to learn about given humans' vulnerability in the digital world.
