Having spent the last two years focused on the potential for transforming schools by examining schools engaged in a STEM shift, it was with great interest we reviewed Gary Marx's new book, 21 Trends for the 21st Century: Out of the Trenches and into the Future.  His work underscores what we found as we studied school districts and the different paths taken to welcome 21st century designs into their schools.  Had his book been…

There's a continuing controversy over whether aliens exist. The most popular argument against their being a greater intelligence is have we were not approached by them? In the end, if they're so wise than I am sure they are able to determine a method to reach World, right? I keep this specific to you to consider.

According to the teaching the way children learn about the ant heap he may have…

Though I am working with with Data Analytics for past 8 years, I found out the work - effort - time consumed for an Administrator or teacher or parent in analyzing the performance apart from the final numbers is really huge.

With the right implementation of analytics tool the organization can pin-point its flaws.

Take for instance, a student who performs low in mathematics but a genius in language could be looked down by the society, and the same person will be adored…

An April Fool

On April 1, I learned that 50% of my evaluation this year would hinge on my students’ performance based on three days of standardized testing—the NYS ELA Assessment in mid-April. My remaining 50% falls to my local APPR contract, which in essence is a bastardized version of Danielson’s evaluation rubrics.

What does this really mean? If you are not an…

It is not likely that the structure and standards for schools will ever again become a local design.  Nor should it be. The degree of interconnectivity across the country throughout the segments of economy, politics and society are too great. Technology is rendering the notion of local obsolete, except in farm products. Yet, there still remains the opportunity for local decisions and values to coexist with national standards. Schools and school districts that are pushing away from…

Improved practice and achievement involves feedback, motivation, coaching, support and belief in the impact principals can have on teachers and teachers on their students.  It involves questioning the manner in which evaluations, all of them, are accomplished. If we want teachers to develop students, modeling it in the assessment of teachers by principals, and of principals by superintendents is key.  When principals, teachers, and students are being coached, supported, encouraged, and…

A Title Doesn't Make You a Leader…

They continue to seek new ways to engage their students in learning while students are more and more distracted and uninterested. The paradox remains because the structure does not change. Schools are locked into time requirements, regulatory barriers, and contract limitations. Educators know what…
