Welcome to Education Advancement Professionals! (EAP)

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.

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
