Creativity
I think, creativity is the most important thing that we develop in the class.
Where's the Data?
I found this interview very interesting. It gave me some practical ways to implement what I had already intuited.
Our schools are data-driven--all focused toward doing well on the End of Grade Tests and making AYP. I truly believe that if we teach in effective, engaging ways the test scores will reflect that because the students will be able to translate their learning from the hands-on, cooperative situation to the test-taking situation. But educators and administrators need to be convinced. Is there any supporting data on how these strategies affect achievement scores?
Thank you.
This is very interesting. Thank you.
