Αυτο το μηνα, I continued my conversations with leaders from around the world on today’s pressing issues in education – from the challenges of graduates seeking jobs to the psychological burden of bullying, from the Japanese academic community’s protests for peace to the International Baccalaureate’s commitment to multiculturalism. Εν τω μεταξύ,, locally in New York, I learned how BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) and other Arts organizations are helping to complete the comprehensive Cultural Plan for New York City, which aspires to bring arts education to every school in the city. BAM is using new technology to bring their work into classrooms worldwide, making their platform accessible to young audiences and students anywhere at any time.
Η Σφαιρική Αναζήτηση για Παιδείας core mission is to promote sustainable change through global discourse, and so I couldn’t be happier than to talk with George Rupp (former President of Rice University, Πανεπιστήμιο Columbia, και η Διεθνής Επιτροπή Διάσωσης) about his new endeavor as Chair of the International Baccalaureate’s Board of Governors. This program, offered in 146 χώρες, is among our favorites as it gives students the perspectives of other cultures, societies and countries through its rigorous criteria for graduation: οι μαθητές πρέπει να διαρκέσει έξι διεπιστημονικά μαθήματα, γράψει μια ερευνητική εργασία, και ολοκληρωμένη εξυπηρέτηση της κοινότητας.
In Rupp’s new position, I learned that he’s working towards fostering multicultural competence and building more relations with underrepresented regions of the world. His goals are ones that all institutions should aim for. As he says, “Η εκπαίδευση που είναι ακαδημαϊκά αυστηρή, σκόπιμα πολυ-πολιτισμική, and concerned with developing personal values that include a commitment to community service, is an invaluable resource for any and all of us.”
I received many emails in the past few months from scholars appealing Japan’s attempt to lift the constitutional ban on collective self-defense (CSD). If CSD is lifted, this could reignite participation in war for a country that has had its fill of battle. As I looked more into it, I was happy to support this cause, which grew to include over 9000 μελετητές. I talked to Dr. Manabu Sato (Ομότιμος Καθηγητής, Πανεπιστήμιο του Τόκιο), who co-led the initiative called Association of Scholars Opposed to the Security Related Bills. Sato calls the bill “not simply unconstitutional but also an attack on the key principles of constitutionalism and the rule of law,” adding that we also need to “challenge the hypocrisy exhibited by many Western governments, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των ΗΠΑ, ότι αντιμετωπίζουν θετικά την προσπάθεια της κυβέρνησης Abe να άρει την απαγόρευση για CSD, under the name of ‘pro-active contribution to peace’ through which Japan plays a bigger role in defending the ‘rule of law’ στο πλαίσιο των θαλάσσιων και εδαφικών διαφορών της Ασίας.”
In July, I asked our global teacher bloggers about a pertinent and poignant issue: εκφοβισμού. Ο Δρ. Tracey C. Burns, a Project Leader at the OECD in Paris and a global expert on bullying, confirms that “a huge amount of political attention is being paid to the issue.” Statistics repeatedly show the prevalence of bullying in American schools, and new research suggests that social media has brought school bullying into the home. Many bold recommendations were offered from teachers, all of whom brought their personal experience to tackling this difficult issue. Guest blogger James Alan Sturtevant recommended reaching out to bullies – σημειώνοντας ότι “harsh consequences don’t always work, can make bullies worse, and sometimes evoke retribution for unfortunate victims.” And Pauline Hawkins cautioned that anti-bullying programs in schools will have little influence on students if the adults in their lives are not teaching and modeling respect.” We also heard from Australian expert Lisa Currie (Δημιουργός του Ripple καλοσύνη Έργου), who recommended the practice of fostering kindness in schools and offered many real world examples of how to do this.
While many think of New York and California as the go-to places for post-college jobs, a recent report has shown that actually Massachusetts, Delaware, και Ουάσιγκτον έχουν τα πιο θέσεις εργασίας ανά απόφοιτος κολεγίου. εγώ got to talk this month with Anthony P. Καρναβάλι, the report’s lead author and the director of Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. For parents and students anxious about the meagerness of today’s job market, Carnevale has given a report, which as he says, έχει “the ability to connect real people with real jobs in real time.” His report has remarkable findings that will be a boon to anyone who wants to know about the reality of post-college life. One of many insights this report provides is that “προγραμματιστές λογισμικού, νοσηλευτές, and managers are among the most in-demand professionals in every state.”
