I just want to share this link with you. Teachers are the best at sharing ideas for the classroom, and I do the same in politics and advocacy. Many authors have great ideas and not so great ideas. Either way, they support a thoughtful discussion!
This article, (edutopia.com, 2/17/11, by Suzie Boss)has so many great concepts that I want to speak out about, such as "keeping the end in mind" when teaching...the problem is, that end has not been student skills for life, but students scores for tests. Wiggins and McTighe (Understanding By Design) are most likely very disturbed by this reality. Fortunately many teachers still refuse to teach to the test and continue teaching for real life experiences.
Read this article, enjoy, and add some of your comments about it here on my blog!
