Math discussions that emphasize the thought processes and not just the answer help students become better listeners and understand different approaches to a problem.
Student-centered education is possible and it is possible through a multitude of approaches. My personal approach is based on Entrepreneurship Education by creating and implementing real startups. It lets students aged 14 to 18 to become micro startuppers and acquire, without even realizing it, a great amount of soft skills such as problem solving, teamwork, resilience, error and failure management, public speaking and self-confidence. Eventually, some of them even become successful entrepreneurs. Math discussions that emphasize the thought processes and not just the answer help students become better listeners and understand different approaches to a problem.
Traditional education prepares students for exams and more education, but not for life. Too many write their last exams and submit in their last assignments with no idea what to do next or who needs their talents. We must assure that students are prepared to step into adult life with confidence, optimism, and a clear sense of purpose and direction which brings them joy when they graduate and become engaged global citizens.
Unintentionally adults around children use phrases that are gender biased. In the classroom, we also show some teaching aids or concepts that are gender biased.

Nothing is more important for our society than the quality of teaching and learning in our schools and learning communities. These learning environments must provide students with a solid foundation for life – helping them develop skills to thrive today and in the future. In a world that will continue to be transformed by globalisation and technology, with many jobs disappearing and new ones being created, high-quality education has never been more critical. It is no longer a case of going to school to obtain knowledge. To be successful in a world full of uncertainties, young people must develop their resilience, problem-solving, communication, creative thinking, empathy and collaboration skills. Unfortunately, our current education system is not providing students with the learning environment they need. But we can change that. There is a way for schools to adopt a new approach to learning and teaching, which provides our children and young people with what they need to become well-rounded, resilient, successful, innovative people.
I’ll be discussing how to collaborate and then shape a digital vision for your school, build a digital strategy and then the steps to help deliver successfully, whilst monitoring impact.
Quality education is a luxury is unaffordable by kids in low income communities, if we are to use education to change the world and positively so, this has to change. The questions that comes to mind to effect this change goes thus; 1. How do we mobilize qualified teachers to these low income communities? 2. What context related approach do we need to consider? 3. What model of innovation do we engage to bring about global exposure in these local contexts? 4. Must we include the marginalized in the plans of global goals for education? 5. The facts and data about illiteracy rate and out of school indexes in low income communities and so on.

Assessment as a tool for fostering learning refers to the process of using multiple sources to continually gather information on a child’s development, to provide feedback to support and guide learning. It focuses on achieving quality, balance and child-centricity in school assessment systems, to support decision-making and increase student motivation and success in learning. The importance of feedback then, as a general concept for fostering learning processes is fundamental. However, while teachers usually plan how to set and monitor the different tasks carefully, and make sure these are sufficiently varied, they sometimes tend to give less thought as to how to manage the feedback effectively. As a result, feedback is often an afterthought conducted more or less the same way every time. This workshop aims at exploring three main questions: How does this look in everyday teaching? How can we design effective assessment tools? How can we provide effective and plausible feedback? It will be implemented by: Setting a common framework for the analysis of an assessment process. Allowing participants to explore and analyse an assessment activity. Provide opportunities so participants critically review the techniques they currently use to feedback on class activities. Highlight good practices for feeding back on class activities.should understand about numbers – before they enter formal tuition. 2 Understand how children see the world and how we can use this to enhance their learning and overall development. 3 Know how Let’s visit Numberland is designed to provide an environment in which the self-educating processes of children can thrive. 4 Get an idea of the included impact on literacy, essential skills and general knowledge of children. 5 Get specific, easy-going suggestions on how start a Numberland journey.

Personal Wellness is a subject that has yet to be recognized in educational institutions for its positive impact on helping children be physically, psychologically and spiritually healthy. The wellness of an individual is not just determined by good health and an overall positive approach to living, it promotes greater attention to the personal, social and in later years, professional choices made. These choices affect physical and emotional health and enable individuals to be in harmony with themselves, but also have the continuous interest to improve and focus on development and growth. The inclusion of the understanding and study of personal wellness in schools will heighten the awareness of social responsibility in children and youth and create more conscientious and compassionate global citizens of tomorrow.
