Veterans Day
My favorite book to read on Veterans Day is a book that several years ago, I sent to my father-in-law, a veteran. The Wall, by Eve Bunting is a picture book with the simply beautiful message that although it is an honor for a child to see their grandparent's name on a memorial, it is better to have the grandparent here, telling you to button-up your jacket. Read it with your students, or read it with a veteran that you love.
Happy…

Reform Math is Bad Math
New Math and Reform Math have many things in common. They seem to have been designed by smart, very cynical people who did not actually want children to advance in mathematics.
So lots of complexity was created. Lots of distractions were created. Lots of tiresome difficult algorithms were created. Teachers are not supposed to teach. Children are supposed to sit around a table in little groups and figure out mathematics for themselves. When they have questions, they…

Using the “Wisdom of the Crowd” to Make Good Decisions - “Beyond the Echo Chamber” by Alex “Sandy” Pentland
Using the “Wisdom of the Crowd” to Make Good Decisions
In this Harvard Business Review article, Alex “Sandy” Pentland (M.I.T.) warns leaders to avoid two common errors when making important decisions: working in isolation and following the herd. Successful decision-makers, he says, engage in social exploration – reaching out and forming connections with many different kinds of people, exposing themselves to a broad variety of thinking,…

The Continuing Problem of Bullying in Our Schools
I read the article by Christopher Ferguson on the lack of success of bullying prevention programs with interest. As a former head of a middle/high school I found his article insightful and right on, until I got to his conclusion. After pointing out the lack of relevance, substance, and authenticity of the programs sold to schools by the Anti-Bullying Industry; the inept "zero tolerance" policies that are too common; and the serious problem of the use of peer reporting as another form of… Continue

• Myth: Black parents are not interested in their children’s education and do not engage in school-affirming behaviors. Fact: According to a 2008 National Center for Educational Statistics report, 94…

Education ideas should be tested on large numbers of students
What could be more obvious? New textbooks, new curricular, new reforms, whatever, can easily be tested and should be tested.
The bizarre thing is that there is so little large-scale testing in American education. Speaking as the house cynic, I would say that's because the Education Establishment knows their ideas are Inferior and will perform poorly in serious testing.…

Don't compromise on test quality
Don't compromise on test quality
A new report from the Brookings Institution critically examines the likely costs of the Common Core assessment options available to states, but urges states to consider quality in addition to cost when choosing. The estimated costs of PARCC and SBAC tests ($29.50 and $22.50 per student, respectively) are not far from the nationwide average of what states currently pay for tests, but states have expressed…

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
