One of the most bizarre of the myriad weirdnesses of current discourse on education is how the concept of reform has been hijacked in popular discourse to reflect an anti-union, standardized-test-driven, privatizing movement.

But what about the physics? Do the birds have a constant vertical acceleration? Do they have constant horizontal velocity? Let's find out, shall we? Oh, why would I do this? Why can't I just play the dumb game and move on.

The Problems of the Month are designed to be used schoolwide to promote a problem-solving theme at your school.

There is an app for everything these days. From health apps to travel apps, iTunes market is teeming with all kinds of apps. It only takes one click in a search engine to find what you want but as we always say not every app can do what its developers preach , you need to have a critical eye to evaluate the apps that will work for you. As teachers and educators, we are in a constant search for apps to use with our students and this is why we need to make sure we have recourse to checklists such as this one whenever we are to recommend apps. Educational Technology and Mobile Learning has even made it way easier for teachers to pick the apps they want from some pre-made lists of apps organized according to each subject area. You can check them HERE. Delete the scoop?

My content area is Secondary Mathematics. I have exactly one student in my school currently at a Secondary Mathematics level; he is learning Algebra. As such, it's understandably difficult for him to feel any competition when it comes to math. There is no bell curve for him to place himself on (at least on a daily basis). I discuss this issue in a little more depth in my IEP write-up, but the gist of the situation is that I challenged myself to learn enough algebra games to be able to be able to keep my student "competing" with himself. He has grown up in a gaming world, and "beating the game" is something he understands and self-motivates himself to do. I wanted to be savvy enough to be able to tap into that self-motivation on the part of my student. Delete the scoop?

Rudy Azcuy's insight:
The Common Core State Standards provide an opportunity to realize systemic change and ensure that American students are held to the same high expectations in mathematics and literacy as their global peers — regardless of state or zip code. This Action Brief for secondary school leaders is a starting point, designed to increase awareness of the standards, create a sense of urgency around their implementation, and provide these stakeholders — who are faced with dramatically increased expectations in the context of fewer resources — with a deeper understanding of the standards and their role in implementing the standards. Achieve, in partnership with College Summit, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, and the National Association of Elementary School Principals, released this with support from MetLife Foundation.

Mr. Faleder, a 5th Grade teacher in Montgomery County Schools gives students choices of which center they would like to use that will best support their learning of math concepts. He also used these math centers to give them options in ways they could express what they knew and understood in math. Take a few minutes to review the video on how he applied UDL principles in math.
