Education Week By Peter Greene June 10, 2015 at 8:41 AM Balancing the Equation: Supply and Demand in Tomorrow's School Choice Marketplaces offers a more nuanced view of a charter-choice landscape than the freemarket acolytes at AEI have presented in the past, but it still reads like an exercise in unicorn farming. By Peter Greene June 3, 2015 at 11:49 AM It's time for the beginning of summer break. #FRIT7234 For busy teachers, there are limited opportunities within the school day to be observed, to observe other teachers, to pause and reflect on the details of specific classroom moments, and to receive support from colleagues. Since in-person observations may be difficult to arrange, teachers may find themselves going it alone when trying out new learning, refining practice, or facing challenges in their classroom -- at times without much feedback or support. A robust new video observation toolkit from Harvard helps address these challenges by suggesting ways of using video technology to rethink traditional approaches to teacher observation and professional development.

Common Core Watch Since we at Fordham began reviewing state academic standards in 1997, we have understood—and made clear—that standards alone are insufficient to drive improvements in student achievement. Standards describe the destination, but they don’t chart the journey for leaders, teachers, or schools, which means that for standards to have any impact on what students actually learn, they must influence curriculum decisions, assessments, and accountability. Educators intuitively understand this, but not all policy makers and pundits appear to. The need for standards-aligned curricula is undoubtedly the most cited challenge for states, districts, and schools implementing the Common Core. Yet five years into that implementation, teachers still report scrambling to find high-quality, standards-aligned instructional materials. Despite publishers’ claims, there is a dearth of programs that are truly aligned to the demands of the Common Core for content and rigor.

#FRIT7234 Happy Sunday, friends! Today I wanted to quickly stop by to share one of my favorite notepads and a simple, no frills way to keep track of which students have received a positive note. Since opening 4 years ago, our school has used PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports) as a school-wide system for setting expectations and managing behavior. (I'm working on a post to share more about how our school makes PBIS work and the awesome things it does for our students!) As a part of PBIS, we have a school guideline of 5:1 positive to negative interactions when working with students *and* staff. The Only Way to Solve Discipline Problems for Good When it comes to dealing with discipline problems, we teachers have a few different choices… We can ignore it.We can yell at the student.We can give an eloquent lecture.We can calmly tell the student to correct their behavior.We can assign a consequence and move on. But while some of these options are clearly better than others, none of them are the most effective way to deal with ongoing discipline problems.

FRIT 7234 Photo Credit Competent note taking is one of those study skills that students are rarely taught in high schools. I, like many others, learned note-taking the hard way by the sink or swim method in college. As my older kids get closer and closer to finishing high school and heading out to the world of the college lecture hall, I have been researching exactly how to teach them this valuable skill. 10 Things Librarians Should Do Before School is Out It's the final countdown!
