I had planned to post a new reply with my thoughts on the chapters, but ended up getting out most of what I wanted to say in a reply to Laura's post. I feel that I need to be at my grade level meetings, so I will be participating via blog for at least a couple of weeks. Next weeks post will be up BEFORE the discussion. I promise.
I do have a couple of questions/comments that I would like to throw out there in case someone has a minute to respond.
1. May I write in my copy of the book? That would make my life so much easier when trying to comprehend what I am reading.
2. Comment - I found it interesting when it was stated "the definition of good parenting expanded to encompass providing enriching experiences for their children." I am wondering what feedback educators with more experience (that would be YOU) have gotten from parents regarding the push to pass the test. On our inservice day at the beginning of the year, I had a parent call and ask me what I planned to teach this year. She said her son was starting to hate reading because all he did last year was prep for the PSSA. Anyone hear anything similar?
3. Question - What did it mean when the author said we need to "implement computer based learning in places and for courses where there are no teachers to teach"? I have been over that comment in my head about a million times, and I can't make any connections.

ReplyDeleteComputer based learning- an online course offering for students who are interested in pursuing a class that a school does not offer- CBL as I understand it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! I figured it out when I got to the next chapter!
