    To the cloud with books! Google is going to prompt another revolution, this time with books, which will change how we access and purchase books forever. With Googles' new Google Editions, we will be able to access the digital book from anywhere we have access to the internet, such as a phone, desktop, laptop, Ipad, etc. We may also purchase books from the publisher directly. Interesting read. Education application? Hmmmm.

Principals as Instructional Leaders-Again and Again | Larry Cuban on School Reform and ... - 0 views

instructional principals

shared by Bradford Saron on 02 Dec 10 - No Cached
  • Because principals, like teachers and superintendents, have limited hours and energy (e.g., spending time with family, friends, sleep, exercise, reading–need I go on?), they face tensions over what they should choose to do each day. Thus, choices become compromises to ease tensions entangled in their teaching, managing, and politicking roles.
  • principals and teachers having a shared understanding of what “good” teaching is.
  • Everyone wants principals to be instructional leaders but no one wants to take away anything from the principals’ job.

  • “The PC-centric era is over,” the IDC report says. Within 18 months, it forecasts, non-PC devices capable of running software applications will outsell PCs. In tablets, IDC adds, Apple’s iPad will remain the leader, but lower-cost tablets will begin making inroads, especially as demand for tablets really takes off in emerging markets.

  • blaming the Internet is like blaming the library for illiteracy.
  • Net Geners are not content to sit mutely and listen to a teacher talk. Kids who have grown up digital expect to be able to respond, to have a conversation. They want a choice in their education, in terms of what they learn, when they learn it, where, and how. They want their education to be relevant to the real world, the one they live in. They want it to be interesting, even fun.

  • Incremental change isn’t going to get us where we need to go. We’ve got to be much more ambitious. We’ve got to be disruptive. You can’t keep doing the same stuff and expect different results.
  • There are three basic skills that students need if they want to thrive in a knowledge economy: the ability to do critical thinking and problem-solving; the ability to communicate effectively; and the ability to collaborate.
  • they insist that their teachers come from the top one-third of their college graduating classes.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • They have invested massively in how they recruit, train and support teachers, to attract and retain the best.
  • Duncan’s view is that challenging teachers to rise to new levels — by using student achievement data in calculating salaries, by increasing competition through innovation and charters — is not anti-teacher.
  • How we recruit, train, support, evaluate and compensate their successors “is going to shape public education for the next 30 years,” said Duncan. We have to get this right.
  • All good ideas, but if we want better teachers we also need better parents — parents who turn off the TV and video games, make sure homework is completed, encourage reading and elevate learning as the most important life skill. The more we demand from teachers the more we have to demand from students and parents. That’s the Contract for America that will truly ensure our national security.

    Here, Friedman analyzes Duncan's new approaches to federally initiated school reform. His last point, however, is very thought provoking.

    Click into the "Launch Infographic" and take a look at this survey. I'm big on looking for subscript and reading beyond the lines. I wonder what this says of rigor, engagement, and mastery essential skills or critical thinking. Suggested further reading to find out about engagement and assessment? Marzano's new book on student engagement. Awesome. My copy actually has real highlighted text all over the pages.

    TED.com commentary: From rockets to stock markets, many of humanity's most thrilling creations are powered by math. So why do kids lose interest in it? Conrad Wolfram says the part of math we teach -- calculation by hand -- isn't just tedious, it's mostly irrelevant to real mathematics and the real world. He presents his radical idea: teaching kids math through computer programming.
