In every content area and grade level and in schools of varying sizes and from
different geographic locations, educators are actively reflecting on
instruction, challenging assumptions, questioning policies, offering advice,
designing solutions, and learning together. And all this collective knowledge is
readily available for free.

Over time, you'll start to see a real change in the quality of the conversations that you're having with your peers. Instead of simply chatting about your weekend, you'll find yourself debating the merits of the new practices that you've stumbled across online.

Judy Robison"What makes professional development even more frustrating to practitioners is that most of the programs we are exposed to are drawn directly from the latest craze sweeping the business world. In the past 10 years, countless schools have read Who Moved My Cheese?, studied The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, learned to have "Crucial Conversations," and tried to move "from Good to Great."

What is really sad is that this has become the norm...we have forgotten that in order to assist our students in the learning process, we much also be willing to learn.
-
Sarah Leahy on 2009-04-06
I completely agree. We are so busy in our hectic lives with our students that we don't keep up with our learning. However, I must say that our principal currently is very supportive of teacher learning and has provided us with many opportunities this year that have prooved to be very beneficial.

So the brutal irony of our present circumstance is that
schools are hostile and inhospitable places for learning. They are hostile to
the learning of adults and, because of this, they are necessarily hostile to the
learning of students. (pp. 4–5)-
mary mathews on 2009-04-06
So far I object to the word "hostile." The word is too strong. Also,I'd like an explanation of the first part of the sentence: "there are few portals through which new knowledge...enter schools." Let's talk about this. Perhaps, it will be explained in the article.

Pageflakes has also developed a teacher version of its tool (http://teacher.pageflakes.com) that includes an online grade tracker, a task list, and a built-in writing tutor. What I like best is that interested Pageflakes users can actually write a blog and create a discussion forum directly in their feed reader, creating an all-in-one digital home for the reading, writing, and speaking opportunities of both teachers and students.
