Education Seminar

We had a good Education Seminar with JANE JONES, she is a Science Teacher at New Century Technology High School.

The main topic was: "STANDARDS AND BENCHMARKS OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT".

She asked us some questions, and we could compare US Education, and our 11 countries education. We have lots of different things... that's why we are here, not only to learn but also to share and teach too!!!

US Education:
* K-12
* All children are eligible for a free (public school) education
* All students take standardized tests
* No tests required to go to middle or high school
* Must stay in school until age 16.

Curriculum development:
* NATIONAL
* STATE
* DISTRICT
(The teacher must now all these standards), because they will be required to the Graduation Exam.
