      I'm not sure what you mean by "testing". What are we testing, the bonds between theory and practice?

      "Environment" is still not clicking with me based on your model. I see the environment as the conditions in which a student operates, and not a teachers relationship between theory and practice. (def.) Not to say it is not important to think about but for me it is not speaking to environment.

  • As a college professor that is *not* primarily working with education majors, I found this entire piece deeply troubling. The pedagogies described here are *exactly* those that we tell our new faculty not to use– the lecture died a quiet death on my campus 25+ years ago in the humanities, and is on the way out (finally) in the natural sciences. The flipped classroom, as such, has been the norm in history, English, philosophy, etc. for a generation or more. So why are high school teacher still droning on before a roomful of sleepy teens? No wonder our first-year students have such a hard time adapting to an active learning classroom environment when they start college.

    I don't know about any of you, but my school district has been trying to stay afloat with all the different digital services out there, most of them free, to benefit teachers. There are an overwhelming amount of resources these days.
