Welcome to the last week before we get a bit of a break for Christmas. Thanks for your hard work with our kids. Especially thank you for your hard work and caring demeanor with them, that is appreciated.
Article 1
Click here to read an article about last month's Ohio State Board of Education meeting. I would keep an eye on this. The state board can suggest changes in legislation, but the legislators have to enact the change (design it). I have been told by ODE personnel that more movement on some of the information presented will happen at the January meeting.
Questions To Consider:
1. As changes seem to be occurring annually, do we do a good enough job communicating them to you as teachers? Do you care to know more? What can we do differently?
2. Do you see these possible changes as a positive or negative?
Article 2
Click here to read an article about some of the most interesting research that was conducted during 2017 centering on education. Though all of the research is not strictly has a secondary focus, looking at research in general, is productive for all. I feel that to be true because it lends an eye to us towards the pedagogy that is moving research in our field forward.
Questions To Consider:
1. What research was most interesting to you? How can you use it to affect your teaching practices?
2. When is the last time you searched for researched-based assistance with an issue you were encountering in your classroom? Do you know how to do so? If you would like more information about avaliable resources, I would be glad to show you a couple that helps you locate research easily.
