      This part of the article was so disheartening... "Evaluations are to make us look good-they affect or rating and certification. Coaching and development-should be done among friends." PD is about learning, and the goal of any assessment should be recognition of what's already done well and identification of areas that can be strengthened. That's what we expect from students...why should it be any different for us as professionals? PD should be a chance to learn, grow, and share as professionals, not a punitive process or a dog-and-pony show. It's so disheartening that bad PD practices continue to reinforce these concepts.

    A well considered piece on the value of "not knowing" and how teachers can leverage this into a positive, rather than a negative. Looks at the need for students to understand the value of connecting to the information, rather than learning simple because it's expected.

    Simple and easy technique to help students deal with the "look every unknown word up immediately in the dictionary" state of mind. Short, simple, and requires NO tech tools other than a pen or a marker!
