  • It is not how well you can speak, or the knowledge that you bring to your school, but it is how you empower those around you to do amazing things.

    An outstanding take on Google Forms by David Wees. Great use of the format of creating multiple pages to make a choose-your-own-ending story. Will be sharing this one.

    this would work well for some of the units, especially in 8th grade, that deal with the pros and cons of technology.

    This is something that is really influencing my thinking.  It's a method of designing curricular materials that appeals to the broadest array of learners.  Really powerful stuff.

  • At every opportunity, emphasize the malleability of intelligence, what Carol Dweck calls a "growth mind-set." Students need to understand that intelligence isn’t fixed—it’s a work in progress.

    Great piece on the need to encourage failure as a natural process.  Look for the Carol Dweck "growth-mindset" in the recommendations.

  • Perhaps no more than half of those who began a four-year bachelor’s degree program in the fall of 2006 will get that degree within six years, according to the latest projections from the Department of Education.
  • Of the 30 jobs projected to grow at the fastest rate over the next decade in the United States, only seven typically require a bachelor’s degree, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
  • Among the top 10 growing job categories, two require college degrees: accounting (a bachelor’s) and postsecondary teachers (a doctorate)
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • this growth is expected to be dwarfed by the need for registered nurses, home health aides, customer service representatives and store clerks. None of those jobs require a bachelor’s degree.

    I think there is validity to this one.
