It is also chockfull of holidays around the world: Mayday is both International Workers Day, and an ancient European festival in which children dance gleefully around maypoles. For Mexico, May 5th commemorates war victories, whereas in Korea and Japan, May 5th is Children’s Day. Such holidays seem to hold opposing themes: work and play.  \nIn Los Angeles, a former social studies teacher has been elected president of the teachers’ union. Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest in the nation, has a 31 , 0 00-strong union com pr i s ed of gu ida n ce  \ncounselors, nurses, and school psychologists. Alex Caputo-Pearl’selection, says the Los Angeles Times, stems from a general dissatisfaction with increasingly larger class sizes and teachers preparing students for multiplechoice tests. Caputo-Pearl is concerned that, because of this, all-too-important curricula are being cut. In a recent radio interview, he criticized tests that cannot accurately assess proficiency in skills like critical thinking—such as reading, writing, and speech—and in art.  \nWhat to do, then, when schools are focusing less and less on cognitive development, but only on test scores? We want to also make sure that we provide students with skills necessary for comprehending the real-life implications of what is being taught. This is no small crisis, especially as these skills are a must for students adapting to Common Core State Standards, which focus not on “teaching to the test,” but on true understanding and mastery.  \n(continued on page 3)  \nMay 2014 JEI LEARNING CENTERS – EDUCATION NEWSLETTER  \nA Paradigm Shift in Education  \nBy Gil Choi  \nA  \nfew weeks ago, I was a t t h e a n n u a l National Council of T e a c h e r s o f Mathematics (NCTM)  \nconference in New Orleans, mostly to research the different math programs, as well as a few online learning programs. The NCTM conference is the biggest event of the year for those in the field of math education. I was able to geta glimpse of the latest developments in math education, and also learned some cool facts, such as how the ancient Babylonians used base-60 number system and how Egyptians used fractions.  \nThroughout the conference in which the Common Core was the main theme, the words I kept hearing at the seminars and from the many education companies atthe exhibit halls were personalized learning, diagnostic/assessment system, prescriptive learning, individual pace, flipped learning, mastery learning, and so on.  \nMost of those expressions are quite familiar to us at JEI, and probably  \nto many parents as well. If I may explain, STEM is an acronym that stands for science, technology, engineering, and math, which is the focus of education in the future. Flipped learning includes several meanings: it transfers the ownership of learning from teachers to students; it makes learning—not teaching—the center of the classroom; and it personalizes learning for each student. It sounds a lot like the Self-Learning Method, doesn’t it?  \nMany years ago, JEI developed the Self-Learning Method (SLM), which enabled individualized learning for each student based on an accurate and comprehensive diagnostic system. JEI has helped millions of students achieve their learning potent","cbCaisOLWh28WgI2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisOLWh28WgI2","pdf",925180,"English","# Editor’s Column\n## A Paradigm Shift in Education\n# Briefs & Fast Facts\n## Apple offers Free Field Trips\n## Polio Scare\n## Future Trends in K-12 Education\n# JEI News\n## Math Olympiad 2014: Andy Kim, Grand Prize Winner\n## Student of the Month\n## Upcoming Centers","[{\"question\":\"What key concern does the editor raise about education in May 2014?\",\"answer\":\"Schools may focus too heavily on test scores, while reducing attention to broader cognitive development.
