Your teachers were not allowed to teach, but were required to focus on preparing you for those all-important standardized tests.
-
Your teachers were held responsible if you failed, and expected to show that they had tried hard to avoid that dreaded result.
-
First, I am your professor, not your teacher. There is a difference.

Updating Data-Driven Instruction and the Practice of Teaching | Larry Cuban on School R... - 0 views
-
I am talking about data-driven instruction–a way of making teaching less subjective, more objective, less experience-based, more scientific.
-
Data-driven instruction, advocates say, is scientific and consistent with how successful businesses have used data for decades to increase their productivity.
-
Of course, teachers had always assessed learning informally before state- and district-designed tests. Teachers accumulated information (oops! data) from pop quizzes, class discussions, observing students in pairs and small groups, and individual conferences.

Public schools aren't failing | CharlotteObserver.com - 0 views
-
In fact, both show that American public school children are doing remarkably well.
-
For example, the NCES report shows that in schools with less than 25 percent poverty rates, American children scored higher in reading than any other children in the world. In. The. World.
-
The takeaway is simple. Our middle-class and wealthy public school children are thriving. Poor children are struggling, not because their schools are failing but because they come to school with all the well-documented handicaps that poverty imposes – poor prenatal care, developmental delays, hunger, illness, homelessness, emotional and mental illnesses, and so on.

The Sabermetrics of Effort - Jonah Lehrer - 0 views
-
The fundamental premise of Moneyball is that the labor market of sports is inefficient, and that many teams systematically undervalue particular athletic skills that help them win. While these skills are often subtle – and the players that possess them tend to toil in obscurity - they can be identified using sophisticated statistical techniques, aka sabermetrics. Home runs are fun. On-base percentage is crucial.
-
The wisdom of the moneyball strategy is no longer controversial. It’s why the A’s almost always outperform their payroll,
-
However, the triumph of moneyball creates a paradox, since its success depends on the very market inefficiencies it exposes. The end result is a relentless search for new undervalued skills, those hidden talents that nobody else seems to appreciate. At least not yet.

Study examines Wallace Foundation's Wallace principal pipeline project - 0 views

I would think it would take years for a new principal to replace teachers and make curriculum changes that would eventually trickle down to students and grow over time. More research is needed to understand what things new principals are doing immediately that boost learning throughout the building.

Curiosity Is a Unique Marker of Academic Success - The Atlantic - 0 views
-
Yet in actual schools, curiosity is drastically underappreciated.
-
The power of curiosity to contribute not only to high achievement, but also to a fulfilling existence, cannot be emphasized enough.
-
When Orville Wright, of the Wright brothers fame, was told by a friend that he and his brother would always be an example of how far someone can go in life with no special advantages, he emphatically responded, “to say we had no special advantages … the greatest thing in our favor was growing up in a family where there was always much encouragement to intellectual curiosity.”
