Strategies in Teaching Reading, Science, and Math: Focus on Understanding By Design March 23, 2010

Posted by nightfox in : General , 2comments

At this very moment, I am attending the free lecture on “Strategies in Teaching Reading, Science, and Math: Focus on Understanding By Design” by Alison Davis here at the Benitez Theater, UP College of Education. The registration is free but there is a first come, first served policy for the venue. The lecture starts at exactly 2:30pm.

Quoting from an email:

Alison is an inspirational presenter who is passionate about helping individuals make progress in their lives through education – and, in so doing, to help their families, communities and countries to prosper. She has a wealth of educational experience interacting with international educators to share best practice and contribute to improving the learning outcomes for students. Alison works closely with teachers, school leaders, and bureaucrats to ensure that students access the very best teaching and learning opportunities.

I will try to live stream the event via Ustream in a bit and hopefully the stream will be clear enough for I will only use a SmartBRO connection if I don’t get to have a decent WiFi connection.

cordially invite you to a forum on

The Promise of Redemption: BESRA and the Need for Higher Education Reform

Panel Members

Arguing that Philippine education should be treated as cohesive passageways to learning, the panel examines the philosophical and practical underpinnings of current reform plans and proposals. The nature and pace of reforms already in place will be analyzed. Despite its rich and progressive content, for example, why has the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) not moved quickly enough? The panel also extends its analysis to higher education and proposes guidelines for reform in the tertiary sector.
