Hurdles for teacher leaders
Hurdles for teacher leaders
Why must teacher leadership be so difficult? asks José Luis Vilson in a post on the Center for Teaching Quality website. Encouraging teachers in leadership roles helps all involved: Teachers can demonstrate professional growth over time and help fill voids in their school, principals can cultivate leaders in their buildings and work with them on mentoring new teachers, and students get a teacher with a macro-view…

Toward a (truly) universal pre-K in NYC
Toward a (truly) universal pre-K in NYC
Mayor Bill de Blasio has unveiled a campaign to win a tax on high-earning New Yorkers to vastly improve the city's pre-kindergarten and after-school programs, reports Al Baker in The New York Times. De Blasio has assembled a high-powered taskforce and media campaign to apply political pressure in Albany, where he needs state leaders' approval to raise the city's tax rate to 4.41 percent, from 3.87…

ELLs and the policies around them
ELLs and the policies around them
A new brief from the Education Commission of the States examines reform issues around English Language Learners (ELLs), who as of 2010-11 were one in every 10 public school students in the United States. More than 25 percent of ELLs speak a language other than Spanish, and 10 percent speak a language that is not in the top ten; in some states, a majority of ELLs don't speak top-ten languages. The brief…

Fighting Back With Facts
Yes, we can reverse the dark tide in American education. Easily. Teach facts.
First, fully confront the nihilism you are up against. Some people want to pull the plug so that everything substantial drains out of the classroom. All facts, all knowledge, gone. The children will spend their time discussing problems in society, preparing portfolios, working on projects. Nothing these children say or think will mean very much because they won’t know any…

Learning from Lyddie
I recently read Lyddie, by Katherine Paterson and I couldn't put it down. Why?
1. Ms. Paterson followed the most important rule of writing by creating a character readers care
about. I liked Lyddie as a person, and was willing to stick through 200 pages with her to make
sure things turned out in her favor.
2. Ms. Paterson grabbed me with all of the sights, sounds and smells of the time period. I felt like I
was on a…

Excuses as an Art Form
Sure, you'll call me cynical. But the evidence is very clear-cut. Our Education Establishment is not good at very much except excuses.
A good excuse is an example of sophistry. I'm a big admirer of sophistry. Remember the brothers who killed their parents, and then petitioned the court for clemency. On what grounds? Because they were orphans! It doesn't get much better than that. And that's the world our Education Establishment lives in.
No matter how…
