    The Iowa DE will be contracting with Margaret Heritage for formative assessment as the Iowa Core Curriculum is rolled out. This is a video of a keynote she gave at the 2008 Iowa HS Summit.

  • In schoolhouse lingo, I could only declare teachers and students 'absent' from the board of P21. And until that absence is rectified, the board will only symbolize the top-down old-fashioned 20th century style of management that's gotten us into so many of the problems that as a nation we currently face.

      I don't know a ton abou P21, but student centeredness is a facet of Iowa Core, and it should be for all of education in the 21st Century.
  • building collaborative partnerships between families, communities, and educators independent of any proprietary business interests.

      Collaboration is so key to the world our students will grow up in. I feel there is a mentality that collaboration = cheating with the kids I've learned with (and when I was in high school). It will be important to change the connotation of the word.

    formative assessment resources to be used by DE/AEA to support districts.

    Formative assessment articles that will be used by DE/AEA to support schools in developing understanding and implementation of ICC's 'assessment for learning' essential characteristic. **Many links aren't working; I have hard copies of articles. Some can be found by Googling, too. A good place to start, I guess.

      I think this is where Becky and I think standards-based reporting comes in. Get rid of the "mile wide and inch deep" mentality (at least in math...).
