1. WHO ARE OUR TEACHERS TODAY? EDUCATION FAST FORWARD 8 Kristen Weatherby OECD 21 November 2013

2. Asking teachers about classroom practice Student Orientation Students work in small groups to come up with a joint solution to a problem or task. I give different work to the students that have difficulties learning and/or to those who can advance faster. I ask my students to suggest or to help plan classroom activities or topics. Enhanced Activities Students work on projects that require at least one week to complete. Students make a product that will be used by someone else. Students hold a debate and argue for a particular point of view which may not be their own. Structuring I explicitly state learning goals. At the beginning of the lesson I present a short summary of the previous lesson. I check, by asking questions, whether or not the subject matter has been understood.
