Educational Insanity » Blog Archive » “Peer-review” of Marzano’s IWB Study Report, Part I

I saw Marzano's presentation on his research of IWB's (Promethean) and their impact on the classroom at the CUE 08 conference and immediately suspected that it was wrong. This detailed analysis of the report by Jonathan Becker analyzes the faulty research in this project.

David Warlick is angry... - Practical Theory

  • We're talking about our children. ..and let's face it, we're talking about nothing less than institutionalizing "child labor" to satisfy a failed belief that higher standardized test scores will reliably lead to a stronger economy, more prosperous citizens, and a vibrant democracy.  What it leads to is boredom, collapsing morale among our best teachers, children without passion, children dropping out, and a growing and prospering testing industry.

  • What we have done, in the service of worthy ideals, is create a distance between teacher and student and the distance between is a mandated curriculum where the "why" of what we teach is rarely questioned and the "what" is defined in such a way that students end up feeling that teachers care more about the subjects they teach than the students they teach.

Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk Blog - Blue Skunk Blog - "Kind" comments

  • This morning I received the evaluation summaries for the two ALA pre-conference workshops I did in Anaheim last month. I don't know about others who take the craft of teaching adults seriously, but I give the evaluation comments I receive a great deal of attention. I bask in the complimentary ones and agonize over the critical ones. I really do. Participant comments are really the only information I have to help me improve my professional practice in presenting and conducting workshops.
