    Service-learning\u27s advocates are passionate about its potential as an educational reform strategy benefiting students, schools, communities, and the nation. They know that integrating service into core academic curriculum is a powerful way of engaging students\u27 hearts and minds. By combining highly effective teaching strategies with support for students\u27 acquiring an ethic of caring and community responsibility, service-learning does what few other pedagogies can do: it boosts students\u27 academic achievement while also strengthening their civic-mindedness and career preparation. The American public wants students to have this kind of education. According to a new poll conducted by Roper Starch Worldwide, Americans agree that schools have a clear responsibility to link what children study in school to the skills they will need at work and in their communities. The public recognizes that service-learning can provide the educational experiences students should have

    Teaching is an intervention which allows someone to learn as fully as they are able. Universities and colleges should provide students with the structures and support they need to learn, and recognise and minimise the barriers to learning which do not relate to a student‟s ability. We are still only part of the way along the journey of understanding what we need to provide our students with in order to enable them to learn best, what kinds of interventions can and should be made, what skills and attributes are needed by teachers and leaders in post compulsory education. Strategic planning in educational development is about finding out what should be done to improve our provision for students, and putting the resources and infrastructure in place to enable those changes to happen

    Educational Content, Educational Institutions and Economic Development: Lessons from History

    Get PDF
    Individuals’ choices of educational content are often shaped by the political economy of government policies that determine the incentives to acquire various skills. We first present a model to show how differences in educational content emerge as an equilibrium outcome of private decisions and government policy choices. We then illustrate these dynamics in two historical circumstances. In medieval Europe, states and the Church found individuals trained in Roman law valuable, and eventually supported investments in this new form of human capital. This had positive effects on Europe’s commercial and institutional development. In late 19th-century China, elites were afraid of the introduction of Western science and engineering and continued to select civil servants - who enjoyed substantial rents—based on their knowledge of Confucian classics. As a result, China lacked skills useful in modern industry. Finally, we present a variety of other contemporary and historical applications of this theory
