For two decades or more, we have experienced a steady, global Kerosion of appropriated state support. In the 1970s, state general revenue appropriations covered 85% of the core academic costs (faculty salaries, operating costs of academic units, core adminis-tration). Today, they cover about a third, and the share falls every year. There have been huge rises in tuition and fees, with no

Over time, these qualities drove American society to redefine the goal of higher education, which became, in Kerr’s words, “to serve less the perpetuation of an elite class and more the creation of a relatively classless society, with the doors of opportunity open to all through education.

This kind of minimal observation—analogous to car inspections—would be less taxing but still yield useful information
The problem with observations is they have been too minimal. One of the key differences to high performing charters when compared to their urban peers has been the amount of observation and coaching involved in the classroom.
-
classrooms under control and are teaching in a responsible way.
This is what happens when economists speak of teaching. They see it as merely controlling students and ensuring that they are all in their seats like good little cattle. Don't forget all of these VAM models came from agriculture. My students aren't cattle.
-
This is spending a lot of money to find that nearly all teachers are effective and to generate teacher feedback that does not improve student learning
Could we not make the same argument about the test scores? If NAEP and TIMMS growth have been stagnant for the last 25 years doesn't that mean accountability based reform are a waste of money?
The idea that any employee should go through the year and not have an observation and be evaluated by their supervisor seems silly,
-
The finding is saying observations and test scores are measuring different things.
We needed a study for this.They are uncorrelated because they are different measures. That being said we do not pay enough attention to capacity of evaluators nor do we use teacher observations in growth models.
-
Using test scores to evaluate teachers has been controversial, to put it mildly
Just because we should doesn't mean we can. I just do not think enough unique variance year over year can be teased out from teacher effects
-
But what principals observe is whether teachers are teaching. The crucial question is whether students are learning.
A good observation report should make the connection to student learning. Too often evaluators do not focus on the learning.
-
A principal (or district administrator) comes into a teacher’s classroom with a measurement tool in hand (now more often on a laptop), and checks off whether he or she observes various things in the classroom.
Actually a good teacher observation model is much more than a checklist approach. It is not a dichotomous measure as the author suggests

John Hattie’s book Visible Learning
Hattie's work is also very influential in my world view. In fact it forms the background to all the facilitating I do around teacher observation. Yet Open Pedagogy speaks to so much more than efficacy. In many ways it isn't always as efficient, yet the messness is where real learnign occurs.

You can be an effective teacher and still have students score low on tests. They are two different measures. The idea that student scores are low so majority of teachers must be ineffective is a false claim.
Would you expect the majority of doctor and lawyers to be ineffective? No, people with decades of experience and 8-10 years of schooling are surprisingly good at their jobs.

This second case was often seen as “appropriating” content and re-circulating it without the author’s consent
This is an issue we have dealt with at Mozilla with x-ray Goggles for quite some time. There is still debate whether proxies "copy" a text. Legal review says the law is on our side..but I am sure other lawyers disagree.
-
In your view, what’s the best approach?
Have an abuse reporting feature for authors. That's it. Greenwald's assertion that citation is appropriation is nonsense.
If an author reports abuse of annotations, and that is verified by staff or a trusted community member simply disable annotations on a case by case basis and delete the accounts of abusers.

Fairy tales and their motifs of transformation, magical objects and powers, trickery, and wishes help children identify with their sense of poetic justice and provide a straightforward understanding of right and wrong.

This is also important. By citing who Warschauer cites Shawna traces the perspectives and bias in the piece.

As is what often happens in education, many of our faculty and staff in essence worried that we were “throwing the baby out with the bath water” in trying to focus less on the presentation of arbitrary “content” (e.g., the workings of the circulatory system)
Yes using tech to simply showcase learning is a waste of instructional minutes.
-
John Bransford
Stop what you are doing and go read everything Bransford wrote.
-
In his book Learning in the Cloud: How (and Why) to transform Schools with Digital Media, Mark Warschauer, a professor of Education and Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, writes of the need to teach “21st century skills” alongside content in schools; that the “separation” of these two in schools and classrooms is potentially harmful to our future global citizenry.
Examine Shawna's first sentence. She clearly indicates to the audience that this post will be anchored in a literature review.
More importantly Shawna is able to give the title, author, and a summary in once sentence.
-
As I read the first few chapters of Warschauer’s book, I was reminded of what happened in my school when, two years ag
Shawna used a connection to a personal detail to support the claim that the debate between skills and knowledge plays out.
I do think Shawna should have taken a stance around this part of the post. I am interested in her voice. I want to know where she stands on the issue.
-
The danger in favoring the development of 21st century skills over content knowledge (or vice versa) in school
I would say the danger between separating skills and content is there is no separation.
Content is comprehension. Yet at the same time those who thrive in digital spaces can become self-programmable learners and back fill content knowledge.
But this ability is still directly ties to background knowledge. Less knowledge requires greater skill and more knowledge requires less skill.
-
However, as with any calls for “balance” in education, what is needed is not repeated proclamations for it (like obscenity, many of us fail to define it but claim that we “know it when [we] see it”), but a clear articulation of what it looks and sounds like in a classroom. For that, I’ll have to do some major reflecting and get back to you.
Shawna finished with her position statement. This is very common in literature review and literary analysis assignments.
- Intro (author, title, summary)
- Deep Summary
- This is what I believe
Except in blogging you may want to take a TLDR, or what we used to call, "top of the fold" make your position evident and early. Do not feel afraid to use call out boxes, blockquotes, etc to draw the readers attention.

Then I will ask them who they are going to write a letter to and what are they going to say. We will go over a few ideas together and I will ask some of the children who they are going to write a letter to.

If the students were paying attention to the direct lesson/instruction from before than they should have no problem corrrectly completing the assignment.
Then is paying attention what you are tying to assess?
I encourage you to rethink your assessment strategy. What are you going to use to see if students can distinguish fact and opinion?
What will you do for students in conferences who have met this standard? What will you do with students in conferring that have not met your learning target?
-
The student can then hear the content of the story which is essential in helping them to differentiate between fact and opinion.
You would be conferring with the students. You can read to them. Yes not having to focus on decoding may help the students to look for facts and opinions but the teacher is the best scaffold in your tool box.
-
tudents will be given a book to read independently
Base on this lesson you never looked for fact and opinion in a text with students.
The anchor charts are important. Graphic organizers scaffold the text and serve as an external storage of our memories.
-
If all is going well within the minilesson there will be at least some oposition from the students.
You underestimate the power of conformity in an elementary classroom.
I like how you are defining fact and opinion with a personal example but you need to model it with the text as well.

project a digital copy of the story in the front of the room accompanied by a voice recording.
@laurenbarry Be cognizant of when and why you make the decision. Nothing beats having your teacher read to you.
Not saying there isn't a place for audiobooks. I enjoy them and they are great for reinforcing fluency.
You also have to be careful making digital copies of books. It is okay to record yiurself reading a book, but displaying a page by page turn as a close-up is usually a no go.

While critics will claim the gains caused by early childhood ween by third grade I do not see this as an issue. Universal pre-K will be a game changer.

The idea that America has had the number one education system in the world is not true. I think our success has always been as being the place the best and brightest want to be.

Low bar problems (it is an election year) and lets not ignore the fact the big pharma has made millions on prescription drug abuse.

evaluation is only going to be a feedback tool when it could be so much more
only going to be...this statement gets me. This is exactly what a teacher evaluation system should strive to be.
An effective feedback tool leads to growth. In fact we know from John Hattie's work that effective feedback has some of the largest impact on learning.
I want evaluation systems that are based on being effective feedback tools for teacher growth.
-
Ineffective teachers are eligible for dismissal
Here I agree. We need to make it easier to give principals control over hiring and firing. There needs to be some flexibility in tenure systems.
-
Effectiveness data are linked to teacher preparation programs
There is zero evidence that this is even statistically possible. In fact the AERA and a majority of Deans at Schools of Education have come out against this practice.
-
11 states have evaluation systems for principals that are exactly the same as the requirements for teachers
This is silly we need different leadership and instructional capacity rubrics for school leaders.
-
The use of student learning objectives/outcomes (SLOs) isn’t helping differentiate teacher performance.
This is because SLO's are a failure. Trying to have all teachers base their goals on student growth is a fallacy. I know the "alternative" is to judge teachers solely on HST testing but then you have art teachers judged on reading scores...that's silly...so in an effort to create "objectivity" teachers have to right SLO's. These contribute to overtesting, fall victim to Campbell's Law, and make no sense.
Why can't a goal for an art teahcer be: "Create a community based art show that connects students to local artists..."
Because it can't be quantified.
SLOs need reform.
-
But there’s also a real downside for states that indulge critics by delaying implementation, adopting hold harmless policies or reducing the weight of student achievement in evaluations
There is some statistical reasons for doing so. If you are going to use Value Added scores you need multiple years of data. Switching assessments reset the clock.
A delay was statistically required.
-
There is a troubling pattern emerging across states with a track record of implementing new performance-based teacher evaluation systems. The vast majority of teachers – almost all – are identified as effective or highly effective.
Why is this hard to believe? That a majority of teachers would be effective. This idea that we must have a witch hunt to "weed" out ineffective teachers makes NCTQ reports suspect.
Could you imaging saying the same thing about doctors or pilots? Wouldn't you want the vast majority of those flying you throw the sky or taking a scalpel to your skin to be effective or highly effective?

When this distributed leadership through participation is collaborated, and everyone devotes something, learn from others; the whole group benefits and move forward together. This is what reflects the true meaning of participation and leadership.
I am going to use this piece in my class as an example of leadership and advocacy.
-
I believe everyone is a leader, and it is the participation of the community members which acts as a pillar to the community.
This is a wonderful definition of distributed leadership. We need to recognize horizontal and vertical pathways of community support.

Once the realm of celebrities and their beliebers, academics are taking to Twitter: about one in 40 scholars now use the popular microblogging site, according to some sources.
This lede is just historically inaccurate. #Edchat started in 2009. I don't think Bieber released an album until 2010.
Educators, beyond the tech class, were the first to embrace Twitter.

We think the most promising approach is a version of the second model, “If YouBuild It, They Will Come.” We would charge the National AssessmentGoverning Board with setting standards—in grades 3-12 in reading, math, andscience, for starters—and developing world-class tests aligned with those stan-dards and the underlying content frameworks.
Connecting to standards and assessment was something baked into the DNA of national standards.

The most common bit of concrete advice offered by Dweck and others enamored of the growth mindset is to praise kids for their effort (“You tried really hard”) rather than for their ability (“You’re really smart”) in order to get them to persevere. (Google the words “praise” and “effort” together: more than 70 million hits.)
I think the author has understated how feedback works in incremental theory. Neither feedback option is better. They should be connected to the stated learning outcome. The key feature is feedback shoudl not be about the student or pleasing the teacher but about the goal.

First, think about your favorite color. Then, turn to the person sitting next to you. Extend your hand, say hello, state your name, and say your favorite color.

I was told the University would find people to populate the lecture as it was recorded, and when I gave the lecture, I noticed all the people were incredibly beautiful…I found out later that they were hired models.”
Glad to see the University reinforcing body type and gender stereotypes right into their MOOCs

Shedroff (2009) argued that in current design practice, the main focus should be on creating environments that encourage relationships with individuals, experiences that connect on an emotional and value level
I agree. I have tried to "escape" the LMS only to recreate it. I can use open-source tools and variety of networks but if students see them as completion channels and not communication channels all I get is a stream of assignments handed in.

The challenge includes not only the validation of the information but also the generation of ideas and thoughts that the organized institutional social setting of the past might readily provide,
I agree we have handed over text-construction to the crowd. Coiro et al argued that this is self-directed text construction but I think it is more social. Our networks influence what we read just as much as what we click.

He discussed a form of knowledge that would involve learners thinking about and confronting themselves with the uncertainties and dilemmas in their own lives. Learning is at the heart of personal change and transformation, and the learner needs to take risks and deal with changing situations in his or her environment.
Does this have to be another dichotomy? Knowledge and skills need to be part of pedagogy. Hated to have a plumber who spent who whole education thinking about how the o-ring really feels.

Blend Syllables : Ms. Finney’s Kindergarteners have alre ady learned to clap syllables. They can do this well with words up to three syllab les. She is now interested in helping them blend syllables. Since this can be challenging, she decides to use visual cues to help. She selects some pictures of animal s from a picture dictionary, ex pands them on the copier, and brings them to class. She says: “This aftern oon, girls and boys, we are going to practice putting syllables together. I am going to show yo u a part of a picture, and I will tell you what it says. Then, you can repeat it.” She hides the pictures from the students. The first word is tiger . She cuts the copied picture into two pieces. She holds up the first one and says, “/t ī /.” She points under it, and says, “When I point to the piece, you can say it. This is /t ī /.” She points and her students respond, “/t ī /.”
This is the piece I adapted to make my phonemic awareness teaching video.

highlighted educational disparities between white students and students from low-income families, students of color, and other traditionally disadvantaged student subgroups.
This same kind of data could be gathered without annual testing. Newsflash: Being born white and rich has its privileges. Do we need to spend hundreds of millions each year to prove this point?
-
recent historic increases in high school graduation rates while relieving states of their responsibility for turning around low-performing schools and ensuring that all students graduate from high school ready for college and a career.
This is fear-mongering in conjecture. Include annual testing or graduation rates will plummet. Such a base rhetorical move.
