April 7, 2011 by annalouise90. So in this last blog I am going to review the topics that have been the most interesting to me and which I feel are some of the most important aspects of education that need to be addressed in order to improve achievement and learning in schools. And to my fellow students for providing such lively and interesting debates throughout the semester! March 30, 2011 by annalouise90. Of 18 reports looking into the impact of homew.

Well, the semester is over. I have finished marking your blogs, and I have been impressed. A couple of suggestions for next year have emerged, and I want to talk about them. The first would have me giving several lectures scattered throughout the semester.

I am heading out with a team of people to Ghana to help out with starting a school and teacher training. Although resources are scarce in the area i would love it if people had a few summary ideas i can take to the teachers of this area.
