TL;DR: Understanding Gen Z's perspective on teaching is crucial as interest in the profession declines. While they value job security and purpose, traditional teaching lacks the flexibility and technological innovation they seek. Early exposure to teaching and flexible scheduling are potential solutions. 🎓 #GenZ #Teaching #Education 📚 With interest in the teaching profession waning and enrollment in teacher preparation programs reaching historic lows, the focus is on attracting Gen Z. They prioritize job security and purpose but find traditional teaching lacks flexibility. Early exposure and flexible scheduling could turn the tide. Key takeaway: Gen Z seeks flexibility and purpose in careers like teaching, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for education.

The Growing Demand for TAs in Education: Are You Ready for the Shift? 📚 The landscape of education is changing, and with it, the demand for Teaching Assistants (TAs) is on the rise. As schools face increasing challenges—like rising class sizes, greater demand for individualized support, and the push for inclusive education—there's a pressing need for skilled, reliable TAs who can step in and make a real difference. But here's the challenge: Many schools are struggling to keep up with the demand. With term changes, staffing shortages, and high turnover rates, it’s more critical than ever to plan ahead. 💡 So, how can your school stay ahead of the curve? * Start early: Don’t wait until you’re scrambling to fill a position. Plan your staffing needs in advance, especially for long-term placements. * Look for versatility: The best TAs are adaptable, skilled in supporting students with diverse needs, and able to integrate seamlessly into different classroom environments. * Focus on retention: Hiring a TA is just the first step. How are you planning to keep them? Clear career paths, training, and a supportive culture can make all the difference. 📈 The future of education staffing is here—how will you adapt? 🦸♂️ That's where Protocol Education enters the chat.

Check out these trends in CTE (Career and Technical Education) -

In October, I had discussions with grade 9 learners and their parents about the complexities of subject choice as this is the time of year when schools require their learners to choose their subjects for the FET phase (grades 10 – 12). Choosing your subjects is often a difficult task because it sets the tone for your tertiary studies and/or career pathway. However, a subject choice assessment can help make this decision-making process a little bit easier. As someone who has worked in a university setting as a career counsellor, I would sometimes see prospective students for academic guidance. This entailed helping the learner figure out what courses they can apply for based on their current school results but also ensuring that the course recommendation aligns with their field of interest. In this role, I had observed one of two occurrences: 1.     The learner unfortunately had not taken the subject/s required for admission (usually Mathematics, Physical Science, and/or Life Science). 2.     The learner took the correct subjects for admission, but their APS (Admission Point Score) does not meet the minimum requirement. Thankfully, by the end of the consultation, the learner and I would reach an agreement regarding possible alternatives. However, both aforementioned occurrences could have been minimised by a learner undergoing a subject choice assessment before beginning their FET phase (grades 10 – 12). This assessment is used to recommend which subjects to take based on ability, academic history, personality, and vocational interest. Additionally, it could ensure an optimal subject combination, potentially maximising a learner’s APS based on their vocational interests and academic strengths. A subject choice assessment is valuable for any learner as it enables them to begin their career journey on the right foot. Furthermore, it allows them to be actively involved in their career choices from grade 9, thus motivating them to perform well in the FET phase so that they can pursue their vocational interests upon matriculation. #subjectchoice ✍ 🖥️

NEW on Wonkhe: If we're planning the future state of local skills provision, we'd better be sure what we are betting on. David Kernohan reads the form

Warning: assessment nerd post! I had such a great meeting yesterday with our interim graduate program coordinator to review and update our program learning outcomes in the Master’s of Education. We were able to find the assignments in the core courses that will serve as measures for the PLOs. Then got feedback from faculty who teach those courses and incorporated that into the new A Plan. This is where my old job (assessment coordinator) and my new job (faculty) intersect! #umd #assessmentallies #alignment #assessmentismyjam #closetheloop
