An Approach to Life

Hosted by Jonathan Dale NCSL’s Operational Director for E learning school leader practitioners tell of their journey to successful leadership through use of the NCSL’s blended learning approach. They will explore how the e learning elements of their programmes have impacted on their own professional development and how this has helped improve the outcomes for the children in their schools. Programmes discussed will include the dynamic Leadership Pathways and a special opportunity to come right up-to-date reflecting on the impact of the new personalised version of the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) with its use of mobile technologies. www.bettshow.com

Creating Natural Critical Learning Environments

Dr. Kenneth Bain’s keynote address at Simon Fraser University’s “First Year in Focus: Engaging Students in their First Year and Beyond” conference on Thursday May 14, 2009.

How can we foster deep learning among our students, learning that will have a sustained, substantial, and positive influence on the way students subsequently think, act, and feel?

How can we motivate them to take a deep approach to their learning, rather than a surface or strategic approach?

In this highly interactive talk, Ken Bain draws on his award-winning fifteen-year study of highly effective college and university teachers to help participants explore how they can create powerful learning environments for their students.

We explore what it means to learn deeply and the elements of what Bain calls a Natural Critical Learning Environment.

Not all students are alike. Based on this knowledge, differentiated instruction applies an approach to teaching and learning so that students have multiple options for taking in information and making sense of ideas. The model of differentiated instruction requires teachers to be flexible in their approach to teaching and adjusting the curriculum and presentation of information to learners rather than expecting students to modify themselves for the curriculum. Classroom teaching is a blend of whole-class, group and individual instruction. Differentiated Instruction is a teaching theory based on the premise that instructional approaches should vary and be adapted in relation to individual and diverse students in classrooms.

ABSTRACT

Sequential data — speech, text, genomic sequences — floods our storage servers. Much useful information in these data is carried by implicit structure: phonemes and prosody in speech, syntactic structure in text, genes and regulatory elements in genomic sequences. Over the last six years, several of us have been investigating structured linear models, a unified discriminative learning approach to sequence analysis problems. I will review the approach and illustrate it with applications to information extraction and gene finding. I will conclude with a summary of other applications and current research questions.
