Education Conferences

Teachers in educational institutions direct the education of students and might draw on many subjects, including reading, writing, mathematics, science and history. This process is sometimes called schooling when referring to the education of teaching only a certain subject, usually as professors at institutions of higher learning. There is also education in fields for those who want specific vocational skills, such as those required to be a pilot. In addition there is an array of education possible at the informal level, such as in museums and libraries, with the Internet and in life experience. Many non-traditional education options are now available and continue to evolve.

Trust among teachers, principals, parents, and students is a key to improving academic achievement, Prof. Tony Bryk told a Stanford education conference. Schools Need More than High Test Scores Raising standardized test scores is a laudable goal, but if a school really wants to thrive in the long term, it needs to pay close attention to its values, argued speakers at a program discussing K-12 education. The event was co-sponsored by the Stanford Educational Leadership Leadership Institute, a joint effort by the Graduate School of Business and the School of Education, and by the Stanford Social Innovation Review, a new publication from the Business School's Center for Social Innovation.

School Progress Should Be as Easy to Track as Stocks, says U.S. Educational Technology Director BaileyTechnology should make it as easy for parents to track their children's progress in school as it is to track stock portfolios, yet many schools don't take advantage of the information available to them, John Bailey, director of educational technology for the U.S. Department of Education, told a Business School education conference.
