News coming in from various districts around the state of New York anecdotally indicates that increased stress levels with the new, longer state assessments have been affecting both students and teachers alike. Stories of an uptick in the number of students who have actually become sick— vomiting directly on their test papers in…

This evening I had the pleasure of participating in the weekly #PTChat facilitated by Joe Mazza (@Joe_Mazza). What does PTChat stand for? Where did this chat take place? How long did the chat last? What was discussed? Well, the answer is simple... everything took place in my own Twitterverse while sitting on my couch! The power of Twitter can best be described in one word - AWESOME! This social media/micro blogging site helps me to connect with like-minded educators to…

Hi Mike!
Today's poll on students' reaction to testing excludes the possibility/probability of students becoming apathetic towards testing, especially given all the pre- and post-tests that will be added to their load, in addition to all the NYS assessments. I predict that the law of diminishing returns will be in effect and that the more we test, the less meaningful to students these tests will become, and the results will not be indicative of the goal of the tests.

A venerable maxim of successful organizational management declares that an executive's authority should be commensurate with his or her responsibility. In plain English, if you are held to account for producing certain results, you need to be in charge of the essential means of production.…

In this thoughtful American School Board Journal article, author/consultant Douglas
Reeves challenges the widespread notion that “buy-in” from all stakeholders is a prerequisite

Every educator knows what their school is like, but few really understand what Twitter is like. The Twitter experience, like school, is different for everyone. One’s contribution to the effort in either of these endeavors has a great deal to do with producing the outcomes. Simply put, the more you put in, the more you get out. That at least is the theory.
I am fortunate to have a very large base of educators that I follow on Twitter and an even larger number of educators follow me.…
