"Daniel Yoo's company, Goalbook, is a rare entrepreneurial education venture that puts students with disabilities, and their parents and educators, front and center. Goalbook is a web-based productivity and compliance platform for special educators and administrators, but also has potential to support more customized learning for a broader range of students"

"Our mission in Studio 113 is to utilize students' individual gifts and talents in conjunction with the AP Language, American Literature, and World Literature curriculums. Through a diversity of teaching structures and variety of authentic assessments, students are encouraged to explore their own creativity and imaginations while demonstrating mastery of the Georgia Performance Standards.  Project assignments include movies, original music and music videos, Whose Line Is It Anyway? skits, soundtracks, commercials, pamphlets, catalogs, short stories, poetry anthologies and much more.  We also accept students' appropriate project proposals, as long as the standards are thoroughly addressed.  Instead of a traditional, sedentary classroom structure, students in Studio 113 are guided towards self-awareness and recognition of worldly realities under the umbrella of learning structures that utilize and tap into multiple intelligences.  Ultimately, we as educators seek to foster an environment that promotes freedom of thoughts and expression"

"The district's key strategy for improving student outcomes is the use of "professional learning communities." A PLC is  basically a team of teachers assigned to a given grade level. As Putnam explains it, they test all the kids on a certain subject. Based on the results, they group the kids by educational need. Then they work on the students' skills and test them again."

" have now come up with 125 ways to use word clouds in the classroom. I have tried to include almost every subject."

"If my students are TRULY going to reflect daily on their progress towards mastering essential outcomes, they HAVE to become skilled at spotting trends in their OWN learning. "

"I use a technique I learned from Kelly Young of Pebble Creek Labs, who has designed the extraordinary curriculum we use in our mainstream classes. It's called a Word Splash."

"Student friendly learning goals force teachers to clarify key outcomes together, make it easier to integrate student self-assessment into your lessons, and serve as the perfect tool for communicating essential standards to parents and practitioners beyond your classroom. "
