Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visionary guide for the future of learning and work Long Life Learning: Preparing for Jobs That Don’t Even Exist Yet offers readers a fascinating glimpse into a near-future where careers last 100 years, and education lasts a lifetime. The book makes the case that learners of the future are going to repeatedly seek out educational opportunities throughout the course of their working lives — which will no longer have a beginning, middle, and end. Long Life Learning focuses on the disruptive and burgeoning innovations that are laying the foundation for a new learning model that includes clear navigation, wraparound and funding supports, targeted education, and clear connections to more transparent hiring processes. Written by the former chief innovation officer of Strada Education Network’s Institute for the Future of Work, the book examines: How will a dramatically extended lifespan affect our careers? How will more time in the workforce shape our educational demands? Will a four-year degree earned at the start of a 100-year career adequately prepare us for the challenges ahead? Perfect for anyone with an interest in the future of education and Clayton Christensen’s theories of disruptive innovation, Long Life Learning provides an invaluable glimpse into a future that many of us have not even begun to imagine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you (or do you want to be) a health system or medical education leader or administrator? Are you tired of "more of the same"? Are you desperately looking for ways to break the status quo? Are you interested in real and meaningful ways to evolve existing models of learning, improvement and development in healthcare and medical education systems-to one that is aligned with quality, patient safety and personal / professional fulfillment? Change, no matter how urgent and/or clear the need, is never easy. And meaningful change is even more difficult to implement. The first point of call is to recognize our own unconscious beliefs that guide our behaviour. Our assumptions about our own and others' experiences influence our behaviour-implicit bias. Awareness of these implicit / unconscious biases and assumptions is essential if we are to reframe our experiences for behavioural change. In essence, the key ingredients to behavioural change-and thereby system change-are: Motivation, Understanding and Ability. Knowing what to do doesn't necessarily mean we will actually do it. Meaningful change is impossible unless all three ingredients are present. Our environment strongly influences our behaviour-both positively and negatively. Developing an understanding of these environmental influences can not only help our motivation, understanding and ability of the change / improvement process but also give us the confidence that we can actually do it. This book presents a revolutionary new vision, concepts and models of transforming health professions lifelong learning and leadership development, in-line with the changing needs of our society. It is NOT an attempt to provide specific solutions to problems in healthcare and medical education systems, as developing solutions must require a contextual, as well as personalized approach to issues at hand. Instead, I have provided concepts and strategies for healthcare and medical education leaders and administrators to develop localized and contextualized approaches for improvement. The content of this book and the vision presented is derived from my own experience of not just conceptualizing, but also successfully realizing the new model of lifelong learning and leadership development as the Founding Associate Dean Lifelong Learning, Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, University of Alberta, Canada. - Khurram

This book was released on 1997 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents findings of a 1993 study of how design in the curriculum helps students achieve national educational objectives. It also explores opportunities for expanding the role design can play in students' academic lives. Results of the 1993 study reveal how the use of design experiences in classrooms provides teachers and students with a learning construct for the next century. The book summarizes descriptive research that makes qualitative statements regarding current classroom practice and identifies effective models for using design in classrooms. The research tapped three primary sources of data: (1) a review of the literature; (2) a national qualitative survey of teachers; and (3) site visits to 10 schools. Also, the researchers conducted qualitative interviews with principals, curriculum coordinators, other school or district administrators, teachers, teachers' aides, students, and parents. The six chapters include: (1) "Learning Through Design"; (2) "Lifelong Learning"; (3) "A Strategy for Excellent Teaching"; (4) "Design in the Curriculum"; (5) "Opportunities and Challenges for Schools"; and (6) "Conclusions and Recommendations." Three appendices, a bibliography, and information about the authors, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development conclude the document. (EH)

Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
