For a study on ed schools released in September, Levine surveyed administrators with firsthand knowledge of these problems: principals. Only two of every five principals surveyed said ed schools were preparing teachers very well or moderately well to get new curriculum and performance standards into the classroom. Only one-third said their […]
Nate posed this question in his blog. I would say that most educators count on numerical data and end of the year assessments to dictate if what they taught over the course of a semester or a year was successful. Are they learning what I want them to learn? I know that the Kindergarteners have […]

I joined the discussion in Tappedin on Saturday evening, while listening in the telephone room of GLD. After I downloaded my Real PLayer I began listening to the speakers on the net.
Speakers changed often during the discussion so I have written down quotes or tidbits of the main point of different speakers that I listened […]
The blog from Stephen Downes was a good read, it reminded me of someone else, me. I wasn’t too keen on his religious views but read on past that.
Picture the tall, uncoordinated girl who was sought after by the coaches but could never make the team because I could use my hands and feet at […]
