Embracing revolution is a quick way to be terminated in education. More than most jobs, teaching demands fealty to higher powers, no matter their expertise, fidelity to the standard curriculum, harmful or otherwise, and the willingness to narrow your horizons to fit the prevailing winds of politicians and other suits who can best decide whether you’re doing a good job or not.
Districts Enter PBL LandThursday, April 12th, 2012
A decade ago, project based learning was popular in a few schools and with a few teachers, but hardly widespread. And the movement was growing very slowly. At that time, education was caught up by standards and high stakes testing, a focus that discouraged teachers and schools from implementing inquiry-based learning.
PBL and Common Core StandardsFriday, February 3rd, 2012

Why Can’t We Have an Intelligent Debate about Education in America?Saturday, October 30th, 2010Like the heated debates over politics, financial systems, health care, and the environment, the arguments about the future of education have devolved into a divisive, either/or, left/right, you’re wrong/ I’m right, I’m an expert/ no, I’m the expert contest that obscures or prevents true solutions. I propose that no one is right. How could they be? The global age has arrived in the blink of a geological eye. The information age is barely a decade old. The environment for children is shifting exponentially. Institutions can’t possibly cope or adapt, and the pace of change exceeds the speed of our thought processes and, at least temporarily, has outstripped our powers of imagination. Most often, old industrial assumptions weigh us down and prevent imaginative thinking.
