Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |
[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] NCLB on YouTube
There is now a 9:25 video about NCLB at www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSTzLILQx3c. It was produced by a Fairfax County teacher, Katie Keier, and a videographer friend, Joe Landreth. Let us know what you think--I'm sure constructive feedback will be welcome. My initial understanding was that it was to dispel ignorance about what the law actually said, and I spent my time talking about the law's contents. The video has me talking about AYP, 100% proficiency, and the choice option, but it seems to me it came out more talking about the law's impacts which are not necessarily functions of the law's provisions--e.g., test scores arriving late, high performing students using the choice option, etc. Other versions are anticipated which make more use of interviews with students. Katie and Joe are on the EDDRA list so they'll automatically see anything that turns up there. I can relay anything from LFA or ARN. Jerry
