45. Environment Traditional Competitive System level management Supervision of learners Hierarchical structures Evolving Cooperative School-site management Empowerment of learners Professional/collegial structures

46. Students need to become … Independent Active Self-organizing Responsible Empowered

47. Brain Research Confirms what teachers have always known: No two children are alike. No two children learn in the identical way. An enriched environment for one student is not necessarily enriched for another. In the classroom we should teach children to think for themselves. --Marian Diamond

48. Differentiation is a philosophy that enables teachers to plan strategically in order to reach the needs of diverse learners in the classrooms. is a philosophy that enables teachers to plan strategically in order to reach the needs of diverse learners in the classrooms.

49. ICT in Education “ Whereas once the learner was in a desert of ignorance looking for a wellspring of knowledge somewhere, now the student is overwhelmed in an ocean of information around them. This changes the role of research, the role of teaching, and indeed the very process of learning.” “The role of the teacher must change from a source of information, or even a channel or a path to the wellspring in the desert, to one of being a fellow passenger in the same boat on the ocean of information, helping the student sort out and make sense of the information all around them” Ordonez, 2002 49

50. The UNESCO World Education Report (1998) “New technologies challenge traditional concepts of both teaching and learning, and by reconfiguring how teachers and learners gain access to knowledge, have the potential to transform teaching and learning process” 50

73. 73  Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam Integrated into all subject areas and is perceived as one of the key enablers to engage students in their learning Still considered as a tool rather than a pedagogical agent  Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand Used only in discrete subjects and most of the use of ICT is within the ICT unit or course. (e.g. In Thailand, the use of ICT in schools is mainly in the Career and Technology course, recently introduced the tablet to Grade 1)  Timor Leste and Lao PDR Only those schools in pilot projects have some basic ICT application training for both students and teachers Source: SEAMOE(2010) ICT-related Curriculum in Southeast Asia
