We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog-cast

I am forcing myself to get my grading done, so until my stack dwindles significantly, I won’t be writing another entry.
Don’t worry, this won’t last long, for several reasons:
1. I only have 2 1/2 weeks of school left, so it has to be done by then. We’re down to the do or die [...]

High highs, low lows, and some Perspective

Last night CTLB and I presented our spring exhibition project to our grad school class. Our assignment was to create our perfect school, focusing on instructional program, depth vs. breadth, cycles of inquiry, teacher evaluation processes, summative and formative assessments, what a graduating student would know and be able to do, a senior project, [...]
