    "...If the focus of an educational system is student learning, as most mission statements claim, then leaders must compare the reality of their employment of technology with their stated intention."

    Michelle, Thanks for posting this! Honestly, one of the best, most "focused" articles I have read in a long time. It really nails the issue of having little or no focus or direction when we're swamped by layers upon layers of standards, initiatives, and skills. Makes me wonder if it might not be a good idea to choose one or two of the NETS-S as a starting point, rather than be daunted by trying to integrate ALL of them.

  • Public schools exist, or should exist, solely to prepare all students to become independent, self-sufficient adults and helping them develop particular knowledge and skills.
  • School system leaders' effectiveness depends on their skill to inspire, mobilize, and support front-line practitioners. Their vision is shaped not by the latest education trends, but by a simple resolve that the school system must work to the maximum demonstrable benefit of all children.
  • Leaders, on the other hand, define their roles as pursuing an aggressive agenda to raise levels of educator and student performance.

  • This experience left me convinced that examining student work and discussing implications for teaching are among the most powerful kinds of adult learning in which we can engage. I would suggest that there is no better way to focus adults in the schools on student results. Set aside time for the examination of student work and consider these suggestions.

    The ISTE Classroom Observation Tool (ICOT®) is a FREE online tool that provides a set of questions to guide classroom observations of a number of key components of technology integration.

    This is an excellent tool for classroom observation if you want to focus on technology integration. You can either fill it out online, or print out the template. Very useful and very appropriate for JHUISTE program, best of both worlds!

  • bill that advances standards-based education reform and emphasizes improvement in reading and writing.
  • proponents of the bill, which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, say that there has been measurable improvement in student achievement in reading and math and an increased accountability of schools,
  • detractors argue that NCLB has caused states to lower achievement goals and motivates teachers to “teach to the test,” putting far less attention to subjects—like art, music and social studies—not represented in the standardized exam.

  • No Child Left Behind is largely based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The act requires states to develop assessment tests in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. The act does not set a national achievement standard but rather leaves standards to each state.
  • Kanter said that the administration will seek, among other things, to elevate the status of teachers, decrease high school dropout rates (currently 1.2 million students per year), promote early learning (birth to age 3) initiatives and drive reform to push for higher school standards.
  • he reauthorization needs to focus on education research, specifically in relation to recent neuroscience advances, teaching excellence, early childhood education, common core high standards, expansion of subject areas to be evaluated and the development of strong school leaders.
  • No Child Left Behind, there is very little reference to the role of principals and the importance of that role to school success and academic success,”
  • Alonso said that while the goals of NCLB were bold, the means to get there were modest. Too little attention, he said, was placed on pedagogy and methodology.
  • They said that curricula have been dangerously trimmed because schools are teaching to narrow tests.
  • ed that the current tests create “bubble students,” those who fall just below the standard and are given an inordinate amount of attentio
  • any reauthorization needs to promote and reward innovation in education.
