This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. If you could travel back in time 41,000 years to the last ice age, your compass would point south instead of north. That’s because for a period of a few hundred years, the Earth’s magnetic field was reversed. These reversals have happpened repeatedly over the planet’s history, sometimes lasting hundreds of thousands of years. We know this from the way it affects the formation of magnetic minerals, that we can now study on the Earth’s surface. Several ideas exist to explain why magnetic field reversals happen. One of these just became more plausible. Trending: Manchester United Players Have 38 Million Reasons To Win Europa League Supercomputer models of Earth's magnetic field.

NOT Waiting for Superman : Issues/Who’s bashing teachers and public schools, and what can we do about it? On Dec. 10, 2010, Rethinking Schools editor Stan Karp spoke to about 250 people at Jefferson High School in Portland, Oregon. His presentation, “Who’s Bashing Teachers and Public Schools, and What Can We Do about It? ,” was sponsored by the Portland Association of Teachers (NEA) and Rethinking Schools. The talk was preceded by remarks by Portland Association of Teachers president, Rebecca Levison, and Portland Area Rethinking Schools activist Mark Hansen.
Below is a transcript of Karp’s talk. A video of the presentation can be found at www.notwaitingforsuperman.org, and the audio can be heard here. Pleasure to be here. Unfortunately that’s not happening. The short answer to this question is that far too many people are bashing teachers and public schools, and we need to give them more homework because very few of them know what they’re talking about. But the longer answer is that the bashing is coming from different places for different reasons. Today the targets have changed. Sec. d2l.nl. Home. The Goal Bank. How School Funding's Reliance On Property Taxes Fails Children.
Let's begin with a choice. Say there's a check in the mail. It's meant to help you run your household. You can use it to keep the lights on, the water running and food on the table. Would you rather that check be for $9,794 or $28,639? It's not a trick question. It's the story of America's schools in two numbers. That $9,794 is how much money the Chicago Ridge School District in Illinois spent per child in 2013 (the number has been adjusted by Education Week to account for regional cost differences). Ridge's two elementary campuses and one middle school sit along Chicago's southern edge. Here, one nurse commutes between three schools, and the two elementary schools share an art teacher and a music teacher. "We don't have a lot of the extra things that other districts may have, simply because we can't afford them," says Ridge Superintendent Kevin Russell.
It has 22 teachers and 145 students, and spent $28,639 on each one of them. What does that look like? The Simple Answer Yes, that Satan. Archived: 10 Fact About K-12 Education Funding. Restorative practices. Rural Education: Addressing A Tension Point in the Great American Divide. The Harvard Educational Review - HEPG. The early part of the twenty-first century has been marked by large structural and policy changes aimed at improving the quality of schooling in America.
Yet despite decades of reform in areas such as funding, school organization, accountability, and school choice, it remains an open question as to whether these reforms have translated into meaningful changes in instructional practice and student learning. This question is at the heart of Inside the Black Box of Classroom Practice: Change Without Reform in American Education. Through case studies, historical context, and thoughtful analysis, Larry Cuban explores why decades of structural changes have resulted in largely stable classroom practices. He examines past reforms in education as well as parallel structural reforms in medicine and discusses their impacts. Cuban organizes the book in three parts. Part I presents three policy cases and their impacts. E.l.

I was taught to see racism only in individual acts of meanness, not in invisible systems conferring dominance on my group. Through work to bring materials from Women’s Studies into the rest of the curriculum, I have often noticed men’s unwillingness to grant that they are over-privileged, even though they may grant that women are disadvantaged.
I think whites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege, as males are taught not to recognize male privilege. National SEED Project - Curriculum As Window and Mirror. Emily Style Social Science Record, Fall, 1996. First published in Listening for All Voices, Oak Knoll School monograph, Summit, NJ, 1988. Consider how the curriculum functions, insisting with its disciplined structure that there are ways (plural) of seeing. Basic to a liberal arts education is the understanding that there is more than one way to see the world; hence, a balanced program insists that the student enter into the patterning of various disciplines, looking at reality through various "window" frames. Years ago a Peanuts cartoon illustrated this vividly for me.
Schultz's dog Snoopy was pictured sitting at his typewriter, writing the cultural truth "Beauty is only skin deep. " When the dog looked in the mirror however, it made more sense (to the dog) to write "Beauty is only fur-deep. " In the following day's comic strip, the bird Woodstock had apparently made a protest; Snoopy responded by shifting the definition to "feather-deep. " Downloadable PDF My mother's uncle had a horse.
