Welcome to Education Advancement Professionals!

In Education -
Learning NEVER Stops! |
The world is
constantly changing! |
To
remain relevant, every administrator and every teacher regularly makes
adjustments required by the changes in the professional, social, political,
or scientific environment. Avery administrator and teacher may benefit from
an analytical assessment of a tactical, strategic, and structural consistency
of the managing actions they apply to manage their system (a class, a school,
a district). At EAP we offer a variety of effective tools, instrumental for
optimizing administrative and teaching practices. |
|
Such tools include: * documentation analysis (optimization of a
syllabus, laboratory manuals, handouts, homework assignments, quizzes, exams,
grading procedures); * Class observations; * Summative presentations on the new teaching
and administrative practices;
* Individual and group consulting; * Group
and institutional workshops. |
We have our feelings. We make
sense of things. Feelings
are had. Sense
is made. Making
requires time, effort, energy, persistence, building blocks (e.g.
various pieces of information). Making sense requires work. This work usually
requires help, guidance - at least at the beginning. Making sense is a skill.
This skill can be nurtured, advanced, guided -
at least at the beginning. Students of a good guide
(a.k.a. teacher) get better at that
skill. Students of a not so good guide get not so good at
that skill. That is why the most important goal of the education
reform should be reforming teacher preparation. |
Welcome to EAP.
The mission of the EAP is to help individual educators or institutions of all levels with advancing teaching practices, adopting and developing new teaching methods and strategies to answer the demands of students, teachers, parents and administrators. EAP offers: Analytical audit of an individual teaching practice, with following recommendations on how to advance it. Team building workshops. Introduction or/and deep immersion into professional reflection, including identifying challenges, designing new professional experiences, structuring new collaborative views and ideas. Introduction or/and deep immersion into professional designing Ð a unique socio-mechanical technique for facilitating and supporting in a humanitarian system processes of transformative development. 90 to 120 minute lectures, and 1 to 5 day or 1 to 3 week workshops on contemporary teaching practices: fundamental ideas, challenges and trends; Òhow toÓ exercises and adoption techniques. Consulting in strategic planning and educational innovations on individual, institutional and district levels. Adaptation and development of qualitative and quantitative tools for assessing the quality of teaching on individual, institutional and district levels. Continuous semester long support, including a Òhot lineÓ for teachers and administrators seeking immediate help. Professional position audit of prospective employees during a hiring process.

my gratitude. In all of my years of school, from elementary, into high
school, and through college, I have been blessed with top-notch teachers. But
IÕm pretty sure you take the cake.

ÒBackpack full of cashÓ - a difficult
discussion about public education? From being a Teach-er to becoming a Teach-smith:
the transformation of the Century On The Definition of
Artificial Intelligence What does an educator need to know about a brain? To test or not to test? This is NOT the right question! Critical reading of ÒMaking sense of confusionÓ by
Eric Mazur et al. A General ÒAlgorithmÓ for Creating a
Solution to a Physics Problem. Is Artificial Intelligence already Intelligence? Education reform needs a new paradigm. What does Òthinking as a physicistÓ
mean? Mapping Physics Content Knowledge. Learning
aides for students taking physics. Math self-test for students planning
on taking a physics course. Physics Course to Every Student, Physics into Every School! What infrastructure do we need for developing a science
of education?

Laws of TeachOlogy Every evolution has stages and
phases. The birth of a
knowledgeable and skillful human follows specific laws, like the birth of a
human baby. Skipping those
stages is impossible. Alternating those
stages will lead to Òbirth defectsÓ. That is why we need to know the
laws, so we could fulfill the mission of K12
education! |
The Zero-th Law of TeachOlogy: Buildings do not teach students, busses do not teach students, even books and computers do not really teach students. Until robots or aliens take over the world Teachers teach students! That is why ALL educational policies and decisions must by tested by this question: ÒHow does this action help teachers'
professional growth?Ó |
