A week to go until ResearchED Dubai! My session: Coherence, not consistency | Developing shared teaching approaches Come along to session 4 and session 6! Tickets still available: https://lnkd.in/d6SrM2V7 --- Whichever sessions you attend, here is some advice for conference going with complexity in mind. We're tackling wicked problems in schools. https://lnkd.in/dVhE34g3 --- Our ability to appreciate complexity is bound up in our stage of ego development. https://lnkd.in/gs7UYvaj --- Key to moving through the stages of ego development is disruptive experiences so: 1️⃣ Beware the eco chamber and confirmation bias We are attracted to sessions titles or speakers that we are familiar with or agree with but seeking out opposing views and can be a better for AED. 2️⃣ Nothing works everywhere and something works everywhere Transplanting the solutions to someone else's problem in your school may not have the consequences you desire. We're in the business of problem solving: https://lnkd.in/eaP-49Eh 3️⃣ Question the research Follow claims back to their source and look into the methodology, participants and context, sample size and even where funding has come from. 4️⃣ Reject oversimplification We try to make sense of situations by applying rubrics or frameworks. There is no universal framework and our mental models ought to be made up of multiple ways of thinking about the problems we face. https://lnkd.in/dsnyCwmf See you at ResearchED Dubai!

Why Weekly Student Assemblies Matter at SISD Boarding: At Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai our weekly boarding student assemblies play a key role in shaping confident, curious, and informed learners, closely aligned with the IB Learner Profiles. Here’s why these gatherings are so impactful: 📢 Fostering Communication and Awareness Assemblies are a space to share updates, celebrate achievements, and address important topics. They help students develop a sense of responsibility and stay connected to their community. 💡 Building Confidence and Independence By speaking publicly, showcasing talents, or leading discussions, students grow into confident communicators and risk-takers. These experiences prepare them to take ownership of their learning journey. 🌍 Inspiring Curiosity and Lifelong Learning Assemblies introduce global themes, creative ideas, and opportunities for reflection. This encourages students to be inquirers and thinkers, nurturing their curiosity and open-mindedness. Assemblies are more than a weekly tradition—they’re a cornerstone of a thriving, inclusive boarding culture. #BoardingatSISD #InternationalBoardingSchool #SISD #Excellence

Students should be applying to college with their personalized “learning passport”, showcasing their journey of real life learning and key skills for future success (problem solving, critical thinking skills, innovation, social emotional skills, community engagement, etc.) How? Through well integrated interdisciplinary subjects. What do we do about content? Integrate it within the “learning by doing” approach. Break free from traditional classroom teaching and learning!!

Register for this webinar to find out how the use of ChatGPT helps students develop self regulation. SRL or SDL is a key competency for learners to develop. It would be interesting to see how an artificial "expert" helps to scaffold this development and how we as the human experts can use AI as a tool in the classroom for this purpose. As human experts, embracing AI and adopting it as part of our toolbox is the next big evolution for future ready educators. https://lnkd.in/ghgPXcbS
