COMMENTARY
More Argument, Fewer Standards
By Mike Schmoker and Gerald Graff

In its various forms, it includes the ability to analyze and assess our facts and evidence, support our solutions, and defend our interpretations and…

Can I Be Done?
I remember having a conversation with an elementary art teacher about 12 years ago whereby she lamented over a question posed by a student regarding an art project. "Can I be done?," the student asked. The teacher responded, "I don't know can you?" Only the artist knows when he or she is done. Artwork, like any other work in school - math or science tasks, historical or literary analysis, etc. is an exploration of understanding that should not be guided by a process akin to…

Educational Change Starts with Listening by Elena Aguilar
Margaret Wheatley, a brilliant thinker and organizer, writes: “I believe we can change the world if we start listening to one another again: simple, honest, human conversation, and not mediation, negotiation, problem solving, debate, or public meetings. Truthful conversation where we each have a chance to speak, we each feel heard, and we each listen…

21 Things That Will Be Obsolete by 2020
I came across the following post on The Committed Sardine (a great site to check out).
Inspired by Sandy Speicher’s vision of the designed school day of the future, reader Shelly Blake-Plock shared his own predictions of that ideal day. How close are we to this? The post was written in December 2009, and Blake-Plock says he’s seeing some of these already beginning to come to fruition.

What We Do and What We Don't Do
Recently I had the opportunity to spend the better part of 12 hours engaged in a series of professional development workshops.

Two of them looked at issues related to literacy, and the third presenter examined the nature of teacher effectiveness through the lens of a practice known as instructional rounds. Spending 12 hours immersed…
