eschoolNews likes my comments about the NETP
Wednesday, April 14, 2010The National Educational technology plan has been released, and the US government is looking for comments. I chirped in, and eschool news (pdf) Likes what I have to say.
I suppose my basic idea remains unchanged. How do we teach to a test and encourage kids to be innovative, creative, and deep thinkers? For those outside the educational community, it is hard to explain how much testing drives instruction. What we cover in our classes, how we assess our content is all linked to some test. While we hear quite a bit about innovation and creativity, actual practice is about “breadth, not depth”.
Anyways, it’s always nice to be recognized, and thank you to eschoolnews for the blurb.

I make a difference in the life of kids. You want to tell me what's more rewarding?

Polish Resume
This is my full resume translated into Polish. My wife tells me it is a literal translation, and as such might convey a slightly different meaning to Polish speakers.
