Robert Ballard on ocean exploration. -- Hoover's Business Insight Zone
great blog; insightful; topic is Robert Ballard, a Wichita, KS native, has a TED talk at this URL. If you are a teacher, you need to know about Dr. Ballard and his work in Science and Education through the Jason Project
he points out ideas of preconceived notions and where they can lead us; don't accept the most obvious (to you) as true; focus on real learning
-
The whole thing is worth watching, not least for Ballard’s emphasis on how we need to attract kids to the wonders of science long before they reach college. But I think there’s a business lesson to be drawn from his talk, too — and not just that we might start mining precious metals from the ocean’s depth
NYC Public School Parents: The hiring crisis in our schools: what brought us to this point?
hiring crisis; move more experienced teachers into jobs that will be eliminated, then don't hire them out of the pool of available teachers; IMHO, a weak ploy by administration that is not fully in control....must hire new, inexperienced teachers so they can make the same mistakes all over again.
Experience matters. Experience counts.
