Although probably 'old hat' to the well-researched educators out there................... I have found Core Educations Top Ten Trends for 2015.
They have perfectly put, in an easy to read format (plus cool, eye-catching diagram), all the information and 'big-words', and all the new initiatives and ideas, that I have spent hours reading about through my NAPP research.
Although I actually enjoy the research that I have been doing this year, it is really hard to find a way to put it across to other staff members, without them looking at the paragraphs in front of them, and saying 'um, I will when I get the time!'.
The Top Ten Trends that Core Ed have put together summarise what is happening in education in NZ right now - or at least is starting to happen.
I will definitely be using this website and its relevant links, to enlighten the staff I work with. The fact that it is broken down into readable chunks, and each chunk has related articles/links/blogs attached to it, makes it a much easier sell to staff.
I particularly love the 'Maker culture', which is also discussed in the following blog article by Mark Osborne - I want a MakerSpace at my school! Well actually, we do have similar spaces, but probably under utilise them, and also staff probably don't see the relevance of what is actually happening in them! The following blog article explains it more:
