    "At the cutting edge is New York City, which, under former Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein, sought to disrupt the usual hierarchies and create "inquiry teams" within schools to investigate problems of practice. These inquiry teams, for example, identify struggling students within a school, use data to analyze why these students are struggling, and craft an intervention for them with the hope that this work can be a building block for schoolwide improvement. What's distinctive about this model is its emphasis on seeing schools less as implementers of programs from above, and more as coherent learning and problem-solving organizations that analyze and address problems of practice."

      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.
