The Missing Link in School Reform (August 16, 2011) | Stanford Social Innovation Review - 0 views

  •  
    Study asserting that: 1) relationships between teachers, 2) relationships between principal and parents/community, 3) length of time a teacher has been teaching the same class, and 4) tenure of teacher at the same school are the most reliable predictors of how much students will improve on standardized testing from year-to-year. Was not able to find stats in the article. Was not able to determine if the study was peer-reviewed.

How Not to Use Computers to Teach Kids : Stager-to-Go - 0 views

  •  
    This presentation is VERY biased and VERY flawed and VERY laden with personal (irrelevant) commentary on the part of the presenter (Dr. Harvey). That said, his points on the lesson plan, and the electronic tools used, and the lack of communication between the teacher and the tech lab manager are spot-on.
