    This is very interesting. I knew nothing about this and have still been referring to assessments as ITBS when I walk through that section of the IEP about whether a student will take district-wide assessments with or without accommodations. I am glad to know this and I learned several other tidbits including the $ aspect.

    There are many assessments the students take throughout the year at our school. The data generated would be interesting reading.

    This article talks about that as states work on implementing the Common Core they need to integrate technology. Two main points are how districts integrate technology into standards-based curriculum and how districts prepare teachers for standards-based, technology-infused lessons.

      This article does a good job of presenting information in very understandable terms. It will help those who aren't directly involved in education to have a better understanding of all the jargon that they are hearing about in the news. I think the questions posed in the frequently asked question section are excellent and will give the general public a better understanding of what is happening in the educational world in Iowa. I can see this as part of our district communiqué or part of our superintendent's column. Valuable find.

  • There are no federal funds tied to the Common Core, so no money is at stake for Iowa.
  • Core also includes requirements to teach such skills as finance and technology literacy.
  • The Iowa Core is similar to the Common Core, with higher standards in some areas. The Iowa

    Commentary Kindergarten in the United States is not what it used to be. For one thing, it's longer. In 1998, only about 56 percent of children attended full-day kindergarten. Today, that figure is 80 percent, according to our research. Kindergarten classrooms are also far more academically oriented.

      We've had some setbacks on the Iowa Schools Ning. We'll be talking about online communities and have examples of the current communities in the state at ITEC, but as far as having the whole Ning set up at that point, I'm not sure we'll be there.

      This is a great idea! How much of my class time is spent with students telling me "I forgot my book" or "I had pizza last night" or other things that may be interesting, but not relevant to what we need to do!
  • I like to say, "let's talk about it later..." It gives students a chance to cool down and me a chance to think about it...as well as keeps the class moving forward.

      To a large extent, time is a function of effort. Those things we deem worthy of our effort seem to find plenty of time to get done.

      It's amazing how we find time to do things we like to do. A readjustment of priorities by any teacher is never a bad thing.
  • Matt Townsley on 29 Nov 09
     
    Even brings up a few good points about core learning and holding students back who already get it.

  • Teachers whose areas overlap - such as all the educators in the same grade level at an elementary school, or those who teach the same subject - meet twice a week to coordinate lesson plans and review data on students' progress.

      I am not sure I could ever be a paperless teacher.
  • Brenda Schnell on 30 Aug 11
     
    I know that I did not see the sticky note icon on the toolbar. It is hard to imagine being completely paperless. Especially, when the computers still have problems freezing, breaking down, and etc. The paper copies or backups save alot of time after the computer is back up.

      Governor Branstad has some good ideas on the direction that education should go, but I am wondering how some of it will be accomplished. For example, I think it's smart to reduce the principals' managerial tasks so they can use their time to lead and support great teaching, but who is going to pick up their tasks?
