  • The following is a letter written by the colored men of Roanoke Island, N.C. on Mar 9th 1865 regarding the mistreatment they have received by the Federal Army.  The letter was probably drafted by a black school teacher among them named Richard Boyle.  
  • Writing President Lincoln regarding the actions of Superintendent, Capt. Horace James: "..Soon as he [Superintendent] sees we are trying to support our selves without the aid of the government he comes and make a call for the men, that is not working for the government to goe away and if we are not willing to goe he orders the guards to take us by the point of the bayonet, and we have no power to help it we known it is  wright and are willing to doe anything that the President or our head commanders want us to doe but we are not willing to be pull and haul a bout so much by those head men as we have been for the last two years and we may say get nothing for it,  last fall a large number of we men was conscript and sent up to the front and all of them has never return   Some got kill some died and when they taken them they treated us mean and our owner ever did   they taken us just like we had been dum beast."
  • In another letter of the same date: "We want to know from the Secretary of War has the Rev Chaplain James [Capt. James] which is our Superintendent of negros affairs has any wright to take our boy children from us and from the school and send them to Newbern to work to pay for they ration without they parent consint   if he has we thinks it very hard indeed... " "...the next is concerning of our White soldiers   they come to our Church and we treat them with all the politeness that we can and some of them treats us as though we were beast and we cant help our selves   Some of them brings Pop Crackers and Christmas devils and throws a mong the woman and if we say any thing to them they will talk about mobin us.  we report them to the Capt  he will say you must find out which ones it was and that we cant do but we think very hard it    they put the pistols to our ministers breast because he spoke to them about they behavour in the Church..."

    Teachers matter. A lot. Studies show that students with the best teachers learn three times as much as students with the worst teachers. Researchers say the achievement gap between poor children and their higher-income peers could disappear if poor kids got better teachers.

    School change is a challenging, necessary, and sticky business. Too often though, it begins with the search for the negative. Putting on, as thinking expert Edward de Bono would say, our "Black Hat." It's a story that has been told a thousand times. A school needs to improve, to "fix what is broken" and it is up to the principal to identify what isn't working, develop a plan to improve or repair the issues, and maybe hires a few consultants along the way to help.

    Collaborating on a debate assignment with Google Docs and Social Bookmarks This evening I'm in Denton, Texas, and my son is back in Edmond, Oklahoma. He needed some help with his advanced debate class assignment, in which he's researching the definition of "Objectivism" and writing some attacks as well as defenses for it. Thankfully, as a 7th grader he knows how to use both Google Documents as well as Delicious social bookmarks. He called me this evening after our weekly K-12 Online Conference organizer Skype call, and I helped him brainstorm ideas for his assignment. It was REALLY cool for both of us to work synchronously on the same Google Doc, and watch the text in real-time which we were both adding to the document. It was also great to see the social bookmarks he'd already saved on his delicious account for "objectivism," and make some suggestions for other sites he could utilize.

  • ow should education be structured to meet the needs of students in this 21st century world?  How do we now define “School”, “Teacher” “Le
  • arner” and "Curriculum"?   
  • Schools in the 21st century will be laced with a project-based curriculum for life aimed at engaging students in addressing real-world problems, issues important to humanity, and questions that matter
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • This is a dramatic departure from the factory-model education of the past.  It is abandonment, finally, of textbook-driven, teacher-centered, paper and pencil schooling.  It means a new way of understanding the concept of “knowledge”, a new definition of the “educated person”.  A new way of designing and delivering the curriculum is required.
  • We offer the following new definitions for “School”, “Teacher” and “Learner” appropriate for the 21st century
  • Schools will go from ‘buildings’ to 'nerve centers', with walls that are porous and transparent, connecting teachers, students and the community to the wealth of knowledge that exists in the world.
  • Teacher - From primary role as a dispenser of information to orchestrator of learning and helping students turn information into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom. 
  • The 21st century will require knowledge generation, not just information delivery, and schools will need to create a “culture of inquiry”.
  • Learner - In the past a learner was a young person who went to school, spent a specified amount of time in certain courses, received passing grades and graduated.  Today we must see learners in a new context:
  • First – we must maintain student interest by helping them see how what they are learning prepares them for life in the real world. 
  • Second – we must instill curiosity, which is fundamental to lifelong learning.   
  • Third – we must be flexible in how we teach.  
  • ourth – we must excite learners to become even more resourceful so that they will continue to learn outside the formal school day.”
  • So what will schools look like, exactly?  What will the curriculum look like?  How will this 21st century curriculum be organized, and how will it impact the way we design and build schools, how we assess students, how we purchase resources, how we acquire and utilize the new technologies, and what does all this mean for us in an era of standardized testing and accountability?
  • Imagine a school in which the students – all of them – are so excited about school that they can hardly wait to get there.  Imagine having little or no “discipline problems” because the students are so engaged in their studies that those problems disappear. Imagine having parents calling, sending notes, or coming up to the school to tell you about the dramatic changes they are witnessing in their children:  n
  • ewly found enthusiasm and excitement for school, a desire to work on projects, research and write after school and on
