| There is a
growing consensus that American schools are in
trouble.
Despite No Child Left Behind and scores of
similar national and local initiatives,
national assessments of student progress
show little movement in the direction of catching up
with the level of achievement by other industrialized nations.
Here is a book that looks at the
problem and suggests some answers.

New
Feature
Forum
for Teachers
This feature
has been added with teachers in mind. Every day
we, teachers face a multitude of issues. Some
issues have to do with instruction. Some have to
do with students. Some with administrators. Some
with colleagues. Some with parents, and on and
on...
As we work
with these issues, questions often arise that we
wish we could "bounce off" someone we
could trust without feeling vulnerable.
Well, this
feature was created for just that purpose: To
enable teachers to ask questions as the need for
answers arise and to get answers without losing
one's confidentiality. And what's really exciting
is that other teachers who have the same or
similar questions, can benefit from the answers
provided.
How does
the forum work?
When a
teacher posts a question, other teachers are able
to respond to the question. Both the question and
answers are then posted so that the questioner and
other teachers can benefit from the dialog.
We invite
you to use this forum to begin a conversation with
your colleagues as we seek to become more
effective teaching professionals.
