    Wendy, I am very thankful for the link. the intertwined relationship between education and leadership is a crucial issue that educators should work more on to enhance the quality eduction. We should not teach english for the sake of English; but the language is a means to promote the main skills the Millenium age require.

  • New York State’s English and math exams include several questions each year about livestock, crops and the other staples of the rural experience that some educators say flummox city children, whose knowledge of nature might begin and end at Central Park

      Professory Cooke once told a story about teaching students in the rural West. When asked where they were most likely to see a yacht, the students did not choose lake or ocean, but highway. They lived in a town through which many yachts were moved on flat-bed trucks between the summer and winter homes of their owners. So, given the life experiences of the students, this was the correct answer.... but not the one that the test-makers were going to count as correct.

    The Harlem Success Academny takes its students on field trips that aim to help students do better on standardized tests by taking them on fields trips to introduce them to subject matter that will be on the test, such as a farm.

      Recent neurological and psychological research (using scientific methodolgy as a basis, not theories e.g. Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, Bloom's Taxonomy, etc) is indicating that the constructivist models of learning, where 'process' is valued far more than 'content', are incorrect. Knowledge and thinking are interdependent and to think well, students must have knowledge.

This comes at a time when the Obama administration is stressing the value of opening more charter schools.

    This article from The Post Standard, located in Syracuse, NY details the rise in applicants and enrolled students in community colleges. Many students cite the low cost of tuition, quality classes and athletic programs as a few of the many reasons they choose to initially attend a community college over 4 year colleges and universities. This situation is a common one across the country as many students are choosing to complete two years at a community college and transfer their credits to a four year school in order to safe money and discover their academic interests.
