NYSED and Misplaced Religiosity

New York State Education Reform and Misplaced Religiosity

by: Katie Zahedi



Diane Ravitch discusses the formidable pressures brought to bear on state departments of education by political and corporate sponsors to move ahead with reforms, but is this the only reason that NYSED is ignoring the wide-spread concerns of the state's principals. I find it hard to believe that anyone, including New York SED leadership could be so dedicated without a trace of beneficence in the mix.…

Parent Meetings: Bypassing the Dance of Blame By Dave Orphal

Parent Meetings: Bypassing the Dance of Blame

By Dave Orphal

Do you dread parent meetings—or find that they don't yield the results you wish they did?

At their worst, such meetings (especially when they focus on a problem) are packed with defensiveness, frustration, guilt, and fear for parents, teachers, and students. All parties want to "get it over with." But by sharpening your facilitation skills, you can keep a parent meeting from degenerating…

Top 10 questions to ask yourself in 2012 by Justin Tarte

Top 10 questions to ask yourself in 2012

by Justin Tarte

I firmly believe in self-reflection as a means toward growth and development. As such, we all would benefit from an intense session of self-reflection of the first half of the 2011-2012 school year. Additionally, through self-reflection we will better understand who we are as educators, as well as how our actions are aligning with our beliefs. Regardless of your position or role in education, here are my…

While there is little doubt that the federal program is critically important for these children and their parents, quality varies widely among programs.

Over the years, Congress has tried to strengthen oversight and improve the $8 billion…
