Parent-teacher conference communication: a guide to integrating family engagement through simulated conversations about student academic progress

Abstract

Teachers regularly communicate with families, yet few candidates are well-prepared for this professional activity. This gap can hinder family–school partnership and pupils’ success. Given that candidates’ opportunities to learn about family engagement (FE) depends on the decisions and values of individual teacher educators, we illustrate how FE can be integrated into an existing educator preparation programme. Specifically, we describe how to design and use simulated parent–teacher conferences (PTCs) to: foster candidates’ conference communication skills; assess their understanding of content knowledge and their ability to plan instruction. Specifically, we designed two simulation tasks that required candidates’ to analyse and respond to a given student assessment profile and then share their interpretation of the information in ways that developed parent–teacher partnership. Modelled after simulation-based medical education, we describe three steps teacher educators can take to integrate simulated PTCs into their existing curriculum. To illustrate how and why simulations impact professional readiness, we also describe the advantages, sequence and psychological processes of simulation training. A sample of candidate profiles across the two tasks are shared to illustrate what candidates take away from their experiences and the kinds of findings faculty may encounter when integrating simulation pedagogy.     

再谈我国的积极财政政策--问题·必要性和可能性·有效作用条件

上世纪90年代末以来，为保持国民经济持续、快速，健康发展，我国政府连续几年实施了积极财政政策。财政赤字的日益膨胀和国债规模的迅速扩大，使人忧心重重；由于扩大内需等原因，在近期内继续实施积极财政政策具有必要性和可能性，今后提高积极财政政策的关键是优化财政支出结构，使之适应并推动我国经济结构的调整。     

How Integration Matters: An Alternative Vision for Urban Education in an Era of the Market

ABSTRACT

The widespread assumption in the United States today is that traditional urban public schools are failing. Market-based solutions, particularly charter schools, are seen as the way to improve urban education. How then can we understand a large urban district where educational actors have furthered a locally popular alternative vision? This article analyzes the comparison of Indianapolis, IN and Louisville, KY to demonstrate how four-decades-old desegregation orders continue to matter for the perceptions of urban school districts. The analysis shows how actors in Louisville utilized more favorable perceptions to fight for a compelling alternative narrative–integration–and against charter schools.     

法国数学教学中的技术整合——应用Cabri-geometry进行交互式动态几何教学的案例

法国自1996年开始更新课程，新课程中明确提出，技术要真正整合到数学教学中去，并且声明了这种整合是必需的。技术整合的意义在于，通过新技术所提供的各种可能性来支持、完善和改变数学的学习，而不在于技术本身的使用，将技术整合到数学教学中是一个长期而艰巨的过程。     

调制光热技术测量超晶格材料的有效热扩散率的分析

调制光热技术提供了基于测量均匀材料热扩散率的线性关系的有效方法。本文分析了这类线性关系对层状复合层和超晶格材料的适用性，讨论了由面激发和点激发相结合测量层状复合层纵向和横向有效热扩散率的不同情况，并通过这些数据和表观热扩散率获得每层材料的热参数。

社区“教育+治理”:现实逻辑、耦合机制及发展路径

社区教育之于社区治理而言,不仅是重要的基础性工程,从发展逻辑上看还具有高度的同构性,二者的有效耦合意义重大。在推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的总体战略要求下,沿着"经济—社会—教育"的逻辑分析认为,发展动力同源、价值理念契合、制度变迁同向等方面是社区"教育+治理"的现实逻辑, "共建、共治、共享"的治理理念以及模式—技术—制度创新是社区"教育+治理"的耦合发展机制。遵循上述逻辑,社区"教育+治理"的路径包括:加强政策制度建设,落实集中统一领导, 拓展社区教育功能,促进社会治理对接, 搭建国家资历框架,引领终身职业发展, 强化信息技术应用,建立智慧支撑体系, 优化多元协同合作,创新组织运作模式。
