Global Action Week is fast approaching!

TeacherJobBlog Moderator — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 09:53:13 GMT

Global Action Week is fast approaching!

Global Action Week 2008 is fast approaching and will see the launch of activities to promote universal education.

From 21–27 April, teachers' unions around the world will join together to campaign for education rights under this year's theme: "Quality Education to End Exclusion."

If your union or school has not yet planned any activities to mark Global Action Week, please consider what contribution you could make. Together, teachers, students and educational activists can send a powerful message to governments and policy makers worldwide.

EI has already distributed the funds and resources available for 2008 to unions that registered for Global Action Week. However, if you are short on time and resources, there are still many simple ways you can make a big impact during Global Action Week.

Wondering what would work best in your school or community? To get ideas, check out the Education International's Activity Report on Global Action Week 2007 at the link below. The report contains summaries of the activities carried out during Global Action Week 2007 by coalitions of teachers' unions, students and parents associations, NGOs, local and national government representatives and education activists.

EI supports its members who are organising events for Global Action Week and urges all affiliates to become part of this global movement for education rights. Engage with your local politicians and involve them in the World's Biggest Lesson on 23 April 2008. You can plan exhibitions, student competitions and fun walks. Let us know how they went and together we can campaign for Education for All both during Global Action Week and throughout the year. It is important to report on your activities to EI so that your contribution will appear in next year's report.

Global Action Week material can be downloaded from the Global Campaign for Education website and can be used and/or adapted in your national activities. For more information, contact us at globalactionweek@ei-ie.org.

National Mathematics Advisory Panel

TeacherJobBlog Moderator — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:12:12 GMT

To compete in the 21st century global economy, knowledge of and proficiency in mathematics is critical. Today's high school graduates need to have solid mathematics skills-whether they are headed for college or the workforce. To help ensure our nation's future competitiveness and economic viability, President George W. Bush created the National Mathematics Advisory Panel (National Math Panel) in April 2006.

The panel was charged with providing recommendations to the President and U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings on the best use of scientifically based research to advance the teaching and learning of mathematics. Expert panelists, including a number of leading mathematicians, cognitive psychologists, and educators, reviewed numerous research studies before preparing a final report containing guidance on how to improve mathematics achievement for all students in the United States.

The National Math Panel's final report, issued on March 13, 2008, contains 45 findings and recommendations on numerous topics including instructional practices, materials, professional development, and assessments. Please visit http://www.ed.gov/MathPanel for the executive summary and full report.

Education Secretary Spellings Announces Teaching Ambassador Fellowship

TeacherJobBlog Moderator — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:12:27 GMT

Education Secretary Spellings Announces Teaching Ambassador Fellowship
Fellowship to help teachers learn policy and grow as leaders, contribute to national education dialogue

Secretary Spellings today announced the creation of Teaching Ambassador Fellowship (TAF) positions at the U.S. Department of Education, which will offer highly motivated, innovative public school teachers the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and experience to the national dialogue on public education.

"This is a terrific opportunity for educators to share their voices directly with policymakers, and I look forward to hearing from them," said Secretary Spellings.

The TAF includes two kinds of opportunities for teachers across the U.S. Up to 20 Classroom Fellows will be chosen who remain at their local schools under their regular teaching contracts, and will provide their experience and perspectives to the Department through various assignments and projects part-time. Up to five Washington Fellows will become full-time federal employees in Washington, D.C., working on education programs and participating in policy discussions. Teaching Ambassador Fellows will be named by early summer for the 2008-09 school year.

Teaching Ambassador Fellows will be selected based upon their record of leadership, impact on student achievement and potential for contribution to the field. Highly qualified K-12 public school teachers of all subjects who have spent at least three years in the classroom are eligible to apply. To ensure collaboration at the school and district levels, teacher applicants must have the full support of their school principals. Throughout the year fellows will collaborate on projects that contribute to the field of education and policy at the national level, and each fellow will be encouraged to work with his or her principal and with government liaisons throughout the year.

Applications are due by April 7, 2008. Visit http://www.ed.gov/programs/teacherfellowship/ to learn more and apply for the TAF.

Global Action Week 2008: It is not too late to get involved!

TeacherJobBlog Moderator — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:40:13 GMT

Global Action Week 2008 is almost upon us! In a little over a month, EI affiliates and national coalitions of the Global Campaign for Education will highlight the need for universal quality education.

Building on the progress of previous years, many teachers’ unions are cooperating in national coalitions to better deliver a highly visible and successful Global Action Week (GAW). It is not too late for the undecided to join the campaign and make it the most successful week of activism to date. This year’s advocacy is crucial as 2008 falls midpoint between the commitments made in 2000 and the target year for completion in 2015. We strongly encourage latecomers to participate and join their existing national Global Action Week coalitions.

The theme for this year is “Quality Education to End Exclusion.” About 72 million children are excluded from schooling and over 700 million adults are illiterate worldwide. Some are excluded due to disability or gender, others because of conflict in their countries, still more because of poverty or child labour. Whatever the reason, millions are being denied a fundamental human right - we can no longer passively accept this!

Part of our plan this year is to send as many politicians as possible back to school, and to involve so many people in teaching them about the need for quality education that we set a world record for the biggest lesson in history! Together, we are demanding that world leaders take urgent action to include all children. Developing countries must agree to implement long term education plans, and rich countries must support these plans and make much-needed resources available.

The World’s Biggest Lesson will take place on 23rd April 2008. Let’s make it a learning experience that children and adults around the world will never forget! You’ll find everything you need to organise your activities in a resource pack at: http://www.ei-ie.org/globalactionweek

Depending on the availability of material, affiliates may still be able to receive assistance in support of their activities for the week. For more information, contact Alexandra Cogels, Alexandra.Cogels@ei-ie.org, as soon as possible. Remember, it is NOT too late to get involved!

Global Action Week: 21-27 April 2008

TeacherJobBlog Moderator — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:26:33 GMT

Global Action Week: 21-27 April 2008
Millions will mobilize for quality education to end exclusion!

Global Action Week: 21-27 April 2008
Millions will mobilize for quality education to end exclusion

This year EI, in cooperation with the Global Campaign for Education, is planning the biggest-ever Global Action Week to continue the worldwide effort to achieve Education For All by 2015. Halfway to the deadline for the EFA goals, this year’s advocacy is crucial. Activists everywhere are gearing up for an event-filled week that will make improvements in schools around the globe.

This year’s theme is “Quality Education to End Exclusion.” About 72 million children and 700 million adults are excluded from schooling. Some are excluded due to disability or gender, others because of war and conflict in their countries, still others because of poverty or child labour. Whatever the reason, these millions of people are being denied a fundamental human right – and that’s just plain wrong!

The right to education was enshrined in the Universal Declaration of rights in 1949. Governments have promised that education will be available to all by 2015. But at current rates of progress, that target will not even be met by 2115! That’s why we need to accelerate the action on EFA.

Part of our plan is to send as many politicians as possible back to school, and to involve so many people in teaching them about the need for quality education that we set a world record for the biggest lesson in history! Together we’re demanding that world leaders take urgent action to get everyone into school. Poor countries must agree to implement long term education plans, and rich countries must support these plans and make the much-needed resources available.

Significant progress has been made since 2000, but much remains to be done:

In 2005 as many as 94 countries missed one of the Millennium Development Goals – getting an equal number of boys and girls into primary and secondary school.

In order to reach the goal of universal primary education by 2015, all children need to have started school by 2009. That means enrolling 73 million children in the next year!
18 million more teachers are needed if every child is to get a quality education.
To get every child into school will cost $9 billion a year. For children and adults to get the quality education that has been promised to them will cost $16 billion a year.
If all G7 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK & US) actually gave the $5 billion aid they have promised, it would enable 60 million children to go to school. (That $5 billion is equivalent to European nations’ spending on farming subsidies or the cost of four US Stealth Bomber planes.)

The World’s Biggest Lesson will be taught on 23rd April 2008. Let’s make it a learning experience that children and adults around the world over will never forget! You’ll find everything you need to organise your activities in a resource pack at: www.ei-ie.org/globalactionweek

Background information on EFA and forms of exclusion
Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Lesson plan, activity outline and fact sheet
Authentication forms to send to Guinness World Records

It’s not too late to get involved!

EI is urging teachers, parents, students and all concerned citizens to get involved in their national Global Action Week coalitions.

EI will provide affiliates with campaign materials (posters, leaflets, stickers, etc.) or they can simply be downloaded from our website.

Affiliates can also apply for grants to help with the costs of mounting campaign activities. The deadline for submission of applications has been extended to 22 February.
