I read it & will wait anxiously for the next installment. <BR/><BR/>Years ago, I was part of a group of early childhood teachers who used to meet regularly at Jamie Endahl’s house to talk with Daniel Walsh, a researcher at UVA. He was writing a book about teacher efficacy & used to tell us all the time ... “you don’t really know what you think until you hear yourself talk”. I believe the same is true of writing. Your reasons for blogging may be ambiguous at the moment, but they’ll become clear as you continue to write.

I look forward to following you on this reflective journey.<BR/><BR/>I too just finished reading the featured article on Michelle Rhee, in TIME magazine. <BR/>I would not consider you to be too idealistic just because you believe that schools could and should embrace both worlds: "raise the test scores and achievement of our students but also grow and improve school community at the same time." The fact is that now more than ever -students need to possess both skill sets in order to successfully navigate the world of learning.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777621495315896107noreply@blogger.com
