The 20% Project (like Google) In My Class | Education Is My Life - 20 views

  • Mass confusion set in.
  • This type of accountability covers the five major standards of Literature Arts: writing, reading, speaking, listening, and viewing.
  •  
    I recently assigned a new project to my 11th grade English students: The 20% Project. Although it's called a "project", that term is merely for student understanding and lack of a better word. This project is based on the "20 percent time" Google employees have to work on something other than their job description.

Don't Blame Teachers for Our Education Failures - Newsweek - 27 views

  • why not copy and fund some of their parental-support programs for existing public schools?
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      Was is somthing so obvious not in every article on education reform?
  • Charter schools often receive the same amount of public funding per student as public schools, and also benefit from their ability to raise and use charitable donations.
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      This I didn't know.
  • Surely, classroom teachers would have more opportunity to teach and teach well if they had enough books and study materials for all their kids
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      More of the obvious.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Charter schools are not required to accept special-needs children or children with learning disabilities
  • So isn’t there a way for school systems to strengthen their professional development programs or put forth proposals for more effective teacher observation, mentoring systems or remedial teacher training, if necessary?
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      There are plenty of ways to do this, but nobody can seem to agree on the right way, besides it would cost money.
  • what the HCZ does is first recognize that the amelioration of poverty does not begin and end with an excellent education, but also requires a full belly, parental education, safety, advocacy, and the expectation that every student will succeed
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      Do we ask our schools to do too much?
  • I just can’t believe that holding only teachers accountable—and not the school systems they work for—is the fair or even the best way to improve public education.
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      It's not fair, but it is easy.
