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. |

Spellings is delivering at 10 a talk to a business group on NCLB, to be followed by Miller and McKeon in response. Spellings text is on the Department website at http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2007/09/09052007.html Lotsof the usual rhetoric and very vague about the discussion draft - maybe more will come out in questions to her and others. I have not heard it will be broadcast. From David Hoff of Ed Week September 4, 2007 NCLB Mini-Summit By noon tomorrow [that is noon on Weds Sept 5] we'll know more about the future of the House education committee's NCLB draft . By then, Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings will have delivered a speech entitled "No Child Left Behind: Moving Forward." I'm betting she'll outline her position on multiple measures, differentiated interventions, and other issues in the draft. After Spellings speaks, Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., and Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., are scheduled to give responses. I hope we'll get a sense of how committed they are to the details in their "work in progress." A special education advocate and a local superintendent will appear on the panel with the lawmakers. The event starts at 10 a.m. at 101 Constitution Ave., NW, in Washington. I'll update this blog tomorrow afternoon. Posted by David J. Hoff, edweek.org at 1:49 PM | Permalink | Comments (1) Monty Neill, Ed.D.
