  • The goal is always to emulate best practice.
  • The content does not determine the flow, the goals of meaning and transfer do. But content matters; it can’t just be projects. It takes artful design.

    A mathematical focus, but also great commentary on teacher hesitancy regarding math. Reform is NOT about "high-energy teachers [giving] vague tasks to groups of interested students."

    If we could clone you and send you everywhere at once, with a few follow-ups from others, would it matter? Yes. Because we definitely don't reach as many people with our message as "they" (the Reformers) do with theirs.

  • “The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor.”
  • “[W]hen test scores become the goal of the teaching process, they both lose their value as indicators of educational status and distort the educational process in undesirable ways.”
  • New requirements to assess teachers based on their students’ scores, in particular, virtually guarantee even more cheating will take place.

Common Core standards reform

shared by Chris Harrow on 25 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • A quiet, sub-rosa fear is brewing among supporters of the Common Core State Standards Initiative: that the standards will die the slow death of poor implementation in K-12 classrooms.
  • By any accounting, the challenge of getting the nation's 3.2 million K-12 public school teachers ready to teach to the standards is enormous.

curriculum reform

  • I petitioned my counselor to let me skip Algebra II and Pre-Calc to go straight into AP Calculus.
  • A common problem throughout math education is the "When am I ever going to use this?" attitude. I already knew where I was going to use the math I was learning.

    Published Online: September 1, 2011 By Allan Odden and Lawrence O. Picus, Phi Delta Kappan Education budgets are imploding at the fiscal seams. A sluggish economy and falling property values are shortchanging public education budgets across the country. At the same time, there are growing expectations for improved student performance, better teachers and closing the achievement gap. Interesting article about changing the face of schools and teacher performance in the absence of or with declining revenues. A good article to review with some other good resources.
