Well I cannot seem to let it go. I’ve jumped back into public ed as a candidate for local school board. Maybe I can influence teaching and learning in a technological world from a seat on the board!!!
Always thinking. Why can’t school happen anyway on days of ‘building problems’ or snow days? Why can’t students who are sick still attend class? What would that look like? No imagination? Go back to 1975 then.
When teams get together to #brainstorm and look at all the opportunities they make better #decisions school support teams are constantly making decisions to keep our education system going.
I do miss the conversation related to personalizing learning for each student, and the imagination and creativity that arose during those conversations.
Depending upon the source of research, teacher efficacy is critical to student success or student efficacy is critical to student success. My own research points to both equally. And neither matter without parental efficacy.
Think about what education might look like if it wasn’t September to June, 7:15 am to 3:45 pm, 13 years K-12. You can’t because you won’t allow yourselves to see change as a benefit to you. It completely stumps creativity.
Big 22nd win today - Looking strong, Colgate Raiders men’s basketball team. Colgate Women’s BB just one win away from 20. Can’t wait to feel some some postseason heat coming out of Cotterell Court.

Many feel the position demands RESPECT. One can expect about 5% of respect goes with position. The other 95% needs to be earned. If you ignore this, expect disrespect!
Why do we keep relying upon data gleaned from research done inside a K-12 education system that does not work for over 50% of students? The only data that makes sense? It doesn’t work!
The National Conference on Digital Convergence unites leaders & educators around a common objective in the movement toward modern learning: delivering learning experiences that directly reflect the competencies our students need to thrive — at scale.

2/2 Perhaps now we can discuss other needs like reducing class size, getting current texts in the class room, computers, WiFi, programs etc. Happy the teachers got $. When do we talk about better student outcomes? I missed that discussion.
