  It's nice to know that all the hard work is begin recognized. I really think that the ICC is here to stay. This is definitely going to be a great thing for the education of our Iowa students.

  I am wondering when this award was given because the article says "Today...." but there's no date. It is so good to see that SOMETHING is working in Iowa's Education system. The news in the special education arena received in August 2011 from Marty Ikeda was nothing short of disappointing and frankly, a big let down, with the information that Iowa is LAST in the nation in regards to the gap between special educaiton and regular education student achievement. So, this article reinforces my long-standing belief that Iowa is a LEADER in education. I am pleased to see that Iowa continues to pursue forward-thinking opportunities!!

shared by Gene McCracken on 30 Jun 09 - Cached

Another time, a student asked me out of the blue—not in class, just in the course of a normal day—what I knew about counting in base 2 (a.k.a. binary numbers, the basis for digital computers). A spontaneous quasi-class ensued, as she and I looked things up, using a chalkboard to piece together the mysteries, treating it like a puzzle or a grand game: When do you add another digit? When is a 1 replaced with a 0? and so forth.

We learn things because they interest us now, not because they might be useful later. But this is exactly what we are asking children to do with math...Of course it can be done, but I think it ultimately does more harm than good. Much better to wait until their own natural curiosity about numbers kicks in.
- Matt Townsley on 08 Jul 09
  
  I appreciate this point, but it seems to go against so much of the daily grind of public education, i.e. curriculum mapping, assessments, instructional decision making, etc. I wonder how/if we can make this big shift? Have other countries already done so?

  I think a big part of this is how the system was created and its goals. Much of learning does not fit well in an "efficiency" driven model with common standards for all.

  It is not remembered because it is not used. Math is a literacy and about 20+ years behing reading - Reading across the "content areas" - around a long time. "Math across the content areas" - a long way off. In math applied is weak; abstract is king. I recall the quote "Why do I need to learn this math stuff? Oh, you need it for your next math class!" Relevent only for the next math class.

The only chance we have is to hammer away at the stuff bit by bit every day for years. Even then it does not work...Give me a kid who wants to learn the stuff—well, twenty hours or so makes sense."

  It is true that when our students have intrinsic motivation, it is so easy to teach! But can our passion for our subject area engage and inspire students who might not otherwise even think that they could find something to interest them in that area?
