  This quote right here needs to be on every teacher's mirror for them to stare at as they get ready for their day: "This is the civil rights issue of our generation. There is also and economic imperative." I could agree more.

  In my opinion, the effects of NCLB are detrimental to student learning and success which I agree makes it a civil rights issue. I don't think it is fair that all students in a school must suffer because their school does not meet the required test scores. I think NCLB is good in theory but not in practice

  The NCLB is just horrible, we can see this just by reviewing the test scores of the students. I just don't see how anything good came out of this for both students and teachers. The students are failing more and who gets blamed for the low test scores?

Weblogg-ed » "Disposable Reform" - 0 views

  This is fascinating. I agree that "real" learning is self-motivated and directed--and yet we've trained students to think that the only thing that is valuable is what the teacher says. I do a lot of group work in my classes, and one of my colleagues asked me recently if I got bored since I wasn't on stage, so to speak, all the time. I do sometimes, but I don't think my class is about me, it's about helping my students learn. And I believe they learn more if they are actively engaged . . . which is more likely to happen in a smaller group than in a whole class discussion.

“What % of teacher ed programs prepare teachers NOT to be the focal point of the classroom?” and the responses were telling. Most said 5-10%, and my sense is that’s pretty accurate.

But I also found it striking that she connected our difficulty in sustaining change with what she termed our “disposable culture” here in the US. We try one reform and dispose of it, then we try another and dispose of that one, and then we try yet another. And I can’t help ask, whose fault is that?

  Again, I totally agree. After teaching here in Fresno for 11 years, I've seen so many initiatives to create collaboration between high school and the university. I worked with a great project when I first arrived here, a literacy center at Fresno High. CSUF students, many of whom wanted to be teachers, would tutor high schools, sometimes in the classroom, sometimes in the Literacy Center's room. Everyone involved in the project loved it . . . but after three years, the funding ran out. Now there's discussion yet again about another round of university intervention in high schools . . . I wish we could just develop a great program that would receive long-term funding, instead of just a "flavor-of-the-day" approach to education.

Interesting blog about how we repeatedly introduce "new" programs and ideas in schools, only to abandon them for the next wave of "new" ideas.

Track students by learning readiness rather than age.

shared by Michael Horder on 25 Oct 10 - Cached

A very small but growing number of school districts around the country are converting to the educational practice of grouping students by readiness (or ability or skill or mastery, depending on how you want to describe it) rather than by age.

shared by anonymous on 24 Jan 11 - No Cached

Research shows the importance of mentoring new teachers, so why not push that mentoring down into the student teaching experience? And also, why do student teaching programs take effective, experienced teachers out of the classroom while novice teachers are learning? They should always be available to work with kids.

  CSUF is considering co-teaching because of the ways that schools are responding to standardized assessment. This model allows master teachers to stay in the classroom with the student teacher--which, CSUF hopes, would reassure districts and schools who are becoming less likely to want student teachers. An interesting by-product is how student teachers would learn to collaborate.
