    In this vast digital age, there is more information available than can ever possibly be processed, and the way that students vet this data is incredibly important. While the internet has opened up the world in amazing and beautiful ways, it has also skewed the way information is obtained. Instant knowledge, or perceived knowledge, is available as soon as kids are old enough to type in a computer password or swipe the lock screen of a tablet or smartphone.

  • In the World is Flat by Thomas Friedman he said, "Those who are waiting for this recession to end so someone can again hand them work could have a long wait." In the book Out of Our Minds by Sir Ken Robinson, he writes, "Rebuilding the communities that have been left bereft by the recession will depend on imagination, creativity and innovation."

  • most schools are designed and operated to penalize failure. Yet unless students are allowed to fail, they can't learn.
  • young innovators are intrinsically motivated.
  • Reformers can't have it both ways. If they want schools to develop the next Steve Jobs or J.J. Rowling, they have to let go of their obsession with test scores as indispensable evidence of quality education

      Does thjs attitude trickle down to our students as well? "I hope they leave if they're discouraged and dumb" then they aren't my problem...
  • There you go again bringing the bad ol Hess back. You'd see it differently if you were a teacher - or a student. I've never met someone who argues, "we can't really distinguish good educators from bad ones." Instead, we condemn primitive, mindless systems, that can't really distinguish good educators from bad ones.

  • Teachers around the country embrace accountability when it comes with the equivalent authority in decision making.
  • For us, "accountability" doesn't simply mean counting test scores - and "autonomy" definitely does not mean that teachers get to close their doors and do what they want.
  • Real change will come teacher by teacher.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • We must redefine accountability as relational rather than numerical. Accountability isn't about the numbers we achieve on a test. Real accountability is accepting the trust the public has in America's teachers and embracing our professional and individual responsibility for student learning and well-being.
