Hi everyone,
There are a few things that I’d like to share today.
The first is a letter to the Washington Post written by Carol Burris, principal of South Side High School in Rockville Centre. She really hits the nail on the head! Let’s hope that the NYS Department of Education realizes how they will be hurting students by making “the test” even more of the “focus” than it has been.
For the elementary teachers, this site has a really cute lesson called Using Angry Birds to Teach Math, History, and Science that uses three stations for learning and exploration.
The third is a website called Ten Tips for Personalized Learning via Technology that I think you’ll find very interesting. Enjoy it!
And finally this video on formative assessment was great – it’s about five minutes long highlighting diverse strategies for student learning. Remember that M-TRACT has a SMART Response kit for your use. Just call ahead to reserve it…
As always, have a great day!
Barbara
