What teachers really want to tell parents - CNN.com - 12 views
-
if I get an offer to lead a school system of orphans, I will be all over it, but I just can't deal with parents anymore; they are killing us
-
if you really want to help your children be successful, stop making excuses for them
-
it's OK for your child to get in trouble sometimes. It builds character and teaches life lessons. As teachers, we are vexed by those parents who stand in the way of those lessons; we call them helicopter parents because they want to swoop in and save their child every time something goes wrong. If we give a child a 79 on a project, then that is what the child deserves. Don't set up a time to meet with me to negotiate extra credit for an 80. It's a 79, regardless of whether you think it should be a B+

Weblogg-ed » Transparency = Leadership - 0 views
-
build a learning network online, and make your learning as transparent as possible for those around you.
-
For me (learner teacher/ learner participant online) the best way to learn is to see the nuts and bolts (the steps) as well as the whole. If I see the integration of "the steps" demonstrated everyday by people around me then I can emulate it all the more easily once I come to the "step by step" process. I may or may not need each step,I'll have begun the process quite a while back. So it's been with Blogging. But if I am transparently demonstrating my own learning and therefor my gaps, what better way to INVITE learning for myself and for others than with an authentic culture of lifelong learning demonstrated anticipated expected?

Google For Educators - Web Search - 0 views
-
Web search can be a remarkable research tool for students - and we've heard from educators that they could use some help to teach better search skills in their classroom. The following Search Education lessons were developed by Google Certified Teachers to help you do just that. The lessons are short, modular and not specific to any discipline so you can mix and match to what best fits the needs of your classroom. Additionally, all lessons come with a companion set of slides (and some with additional resources) to help you guide your in-class discussions.

Technology Integration Matrix - 0 views
-
What is the history behind the tool? The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) was developed to help guide the complex task of evaluating technology integration in the classroom. Basic technology skills and integration of technology into the curriculum go hand-in-hand to form teacher technology literacy. Encouraging the seamless use of technology in all curriculum areas and promoting technology literacy are both key NCLB:Title II-D/EETT program purposes. The Inventory for Teacher Technology Skills (ITTS) companion tool is designed to help districts evaluate teachers’ current levels of proficiency with technology and is also used as a professional development planning and needs assessment resource. The TIM is envisioned as an EETT program resource which can help support the full integration of technology in Florida schools. What is in each cell? Each cell in the matrix will have a video (or several videos) which illustrate the integration of technology in classrooms where only a few computers are available and/or classrooms where every student has access to a laptop computer.

Transformation The teacher creates a rich learning environment in which students regularly engage in activities that would have been impossible to achieve without technology.

Critics say the results are proof only that it is possible to “teach to the test.” What do the results mean? Are tests a good way to prepare students for future success?
-
Tests covering what students were expected to learn (guided by an agreed-upon curriculum) serve a useful purpose — to provide evidence of student effort, of student learning, of what teachers taught, and of what teachers may have failed to teach.
