BRAZIL'S EDUCATION CHALLENGE IN BID TO BE WORLD PLAYER
_____________________________________________________________________________
Eric and Raquel live in Brazil's biggest city, Sao Paulo, but although their schools are just 40km (25 miles)
apart, there is a world of difference in the education they are getting.
Raquel, 16, is in the last year at the private Colegio Vertice, where monthly fees are around 2,000 reais
($,1160; £740), twice the average monthly income. But there is a long waiting list of parents willing and able to pay for
the best education possible for their children.
This year, Colegio Vertice's pupils scored the best marks in Brazil's national school exams.
"I feel that students here really want to learn. We have this goal, which is to get into university, and this goal
drives us to study," says Raquel. "I am aware of what I have and of the opportunities I have and I am aware that great
parts of Brazil's and the world's population don't have what we have."
The brightly painted school buildings spaced around shady courtyards are well cared for and decorated with
pupils' art work.
Across town in Sao Paulo's poor eastern suburbs, Eric, also 16, gets ready for class. His home, overlooking
a slum where drug dealers rule, is close to his school but it is a walk along poor streets and past burned out cars.
"Sometimes I see friends who don't want to come to class so I try to convince them to come with me. But
many say it's no use because we learn nothing," says Eric.
Madre Paulina state school, where pupil performance was among the 20 worst in Sao Paulo last year, is a
big, grim building covered with graffiti. Inside many doors, windows and desks are broken.
"Nobody here is motivated, not even the teachers. How can that happen? These teachers are the people who
have to prepare the doctors and engineers for the future," says Eric.
Over the last 15 years, Brazilian government programmes have managed to achieve near 100% attendance
in basic education from ages seven to 14.

BRAZIL'S PRESIDENT DILMA ROUSSEFF
_____________________________________________________________________________
A few months ago Dilma Rousseff was not exactly a household name, even inside Brazil. She was a career civil
servant who had never held nor run for elected office.
Now, in a major leap to the top job, she has become the first woman to be elected Brazil's president.
But if many Brazilians, and the wider world, have to date known little about her, she is very familiar with
Brazil's corridors of power.
Ms Rousseff, 63, joined President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government in 2003 as energy minister.
In 2005, after a corruption scandal brought down key government figures, Mr Lula made her his chief of staff,
a post she held until March 2010, when she launched her campaign for the presidency as the Workers Party (PT)
candidate.
Mr Lula dubbed her "the mother of the PAC", a reference to the government's economic development project
responsible for spending billions of dollars on upgrading Brazil's infrastructure.
Ms Rousseff also headed the board of Brazil's oil company Petrobras and was responsible for drafting much of
the legislative framework for the exploration of the country's offshore oilfields.
During the election campaign, Mr Lula also referred to her constantly as "mother of the nation" - an image
picked up and glossily embellished in her TV election advertisements.
Ms Rousseff made it clear that she represented continuity with the Lula government, under which millions of
Brazilians saw their standard of living rise.
She is known to favour a strong state role in strategic areas, including banking, the oil industry and energy.
She has also promised to tackle Brazil's complicated tax system.
But if she is to achieve this and other reforms, she will need to quickly acquire political and negotiating skills
to get her political programme through Congress.

The interactive classroom.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Whether by small groups or whole-class discussion, teachers can do much to create an interactive classroom.
Chet Meyers suggests some basic rules for consistently encouraging student interaction:
Begin each class with a controversy or problem. Instead of "We're going to cover this...," begin with "Here's the
question we want to answer."
Use silence to encourage reflection. A reflective pause in your own discourse tells students that "I'm thinking
about this, and so should you." Pauses after teacher-initiated questions encourage student responsibility; a teacher
should resist the temptation to fill the silence or answer the question for them.
Arrange and use classroom space to encourage interaction. Move chairs, have students face each other, form a
semi-circle or circle. During lecture, move to different parts of room, or teach from the back and have students write on
the board.
Create a friendly environment. Teachers should invest some class time in learning students' names, asking about
other classes, inquiring about students' lives outside college, or sharing something about their own. These informal
interactions offer a chance to use facilitative responses (see the related resource "Teacher Talk and Student Success").
It may seem like schmoozing, but studies indicate that this kind of hospitality pays off in higher student achievement.

How Relevant Learning Impacts Classroom Control
_____________________________________________________________________________
Educators struggling with the idea of relevant learning impacting classroom management may just be able to
find some insights at their next faculty meetings or in-services. Paulson laughs, “I often watch teachers in professional
development filling out meaningless paper work, participating in activities that are too easy, or being forced to play ice
breaker games that have no relevance, and those teachers become the worst behaved bunch in the world. They argue,
they read magazines, they check e-mail, they talk over the presenter, they resent their time being wasted.”
According to Paulson, students are no different from adults in this respect. Their behavior is directly
correlated to the relevancy of a lesson. “When I was being trained to teach teachers,” Paulson recalls, “I thought,
„working with teachers is basically like working with kids. They want choices, they want to move, they want their
background knowledge and experiences to be taken into account.‟ When I went back into my classroom, I had the
opposite thought. „Working with kids is the same as working with adults. They want choices, they want to be involved,
they want their experiences to be honored.‟” According to Paulson, when kids believe they are respected and valued,
and the work they are asked to do is authentic and relevant, behavior problems go down dramatically.
For a first step toward greater classroom control, teachers can evaluate their lessons to determine whether
learning is relevant and appeals to the students‟ wants or needs. For more effective classroom management techniques,
instructors can check out related articles covering practical ways to make learning relevant through new classroom
technology, classroom management strategies which involve teaching respect, and classroom control applied to small
group instruction and group projects.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Prior Knowledge and Learning
_____________________________________________________________________________
Prior knowledge influences how the teacher and students interact with the learning materials as both
individuals and a group. It is the proper entry point for instruction, which should build on what is already known,
and a major factor in comprehension--that is, making sense of our learning experiences. (Kujawa and Huske, 1995)
Teachers can use class discussions and graphic organizers to activate and illustrate students' prior
knowledge. Such dialoging and visualizations also encourage students to think about their thinking (What do I do in
a particular situation and why?), transferring the thought process to a conscious level.
By tapping their students' prior knowledge in all subject areas, teachers can plan lessons that will: clarify
incomplete or erroneous prior knowledge, determine the extent of instruction necessary in a particular topic area,
and discern necessary adjustments to planned independent activities and assessment materials. (Kujawa and Huske,
1995)
Teachers also can use prior knowledge to make instruction more meaningful. Many researchers (Peshkin,
1992; Protheroe & Barsdate, 1992; & Lee, 1992) emphasize the importance of incorporating parallels between a
student's cultural background and the curriculum's design. As the world changes, students must learn to understand
and appreciate the experiences and contributions of people from different backgrounds. A culturally responsive
education links curriculum, instruction, and assessment to the students' experiences, language and culture, in other
words, to their prior knowledge.
