NASSP - Shifting Ground

  • Shifting Ground
  • Stand outside any U.S. high school at dismissal time and face the doors. As you watch the students file out, you will see them pull out all sorts of devices—most of them banned in school— and get on with the way they live their lives, often viewing school as nothing more than a necessary evil in an otherwise modern life. For most students, the tools and talents they employ outside of school have little place in their academic classes.

Community colleges -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

  • Online learning opens doors wider for students in tough economy
  • expand online learning for strategic purposes: 1) to be able to offer access to education in the absence of funds to construct buildings; 2) to provide our students with courses and degrees entirely online, which reduces  their need to commute to one of our campuses; 3) to enable higher education to "fit into" the busy and complicated lives of our students; and, 4) to position Broward College as an accessible, affordable and convenient provider of higher education. This year, 10 percent of our enrollment will be attributable to online students, and that comes during a year when our "traditional" student enrollments will increase by more than 10 percent.

Respondents, while curious in the beginning stages of research, employed a consistent and predictable research strategy for finding information, whether they were conducting course-related or everyday life research. Almost all of the respondents turned to the same set of tried and true information resources in the initial stages of research, regardless of their information goals.

Rafe Esquith Offers His Fiery Teaching Methods : NPR

  • Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire: The Methods and Madness Inside Room 56, which Esquith likens to a cookbook for teaching in an urban classroom. The title of the book comes from an incident that occurred while he was helping a student in class with a chemistry experiment.

    "In trying to get her alcohol burner to light, I set my hair on fire and didn't even know it until the kids started screaming," he says. "But as ridiculous as that was, I actually thought, if I could care so much I didn't even know my hair was on fire, I was moving in the right direction as a teacher — when I realized that you have to ignore all the crap, and the children are the only thing that matter."

Gained something in the translation « BuzzMachine
