In an earlier post, I shared that Secretary Arne Duncan is on a listening tour. Well - guess what? He is taking it online! This means you can have a voice in the changes that will be occurring at the national level. Secretary Duncan is posting some questions and wants to hear our answers. The first question is:
"Many states in America are independently considering adopting internationally-benchmarked, college and career-ready standards. Is raising standards a good idea? How should we go about it?"
Even if you don't want to comment, reading through the list of comments is somewhat refreshing at this time of year. Many educators are commenting and you can sense their passion, their caring, their need to make a difference, and willingness to CHANGE to make education better. Education is at a critical juncture in history - never before has the Federal Government been so open to listening to TEACHERS!! Grab the microphone and start being heard!!
The ideas are all over the place and it is addictive reading through them all....so grab a cup of coffee (or a can of Diet Coke), pull up a chair and let the conversation begin!
