I like the last of the myth list best... This doesn't go in depth on this list but provides and opening for thought and discussion...
excerpt:
15. District “non-negotiables” are an appropriate response to instructional alignment.
16. Teachers are “the problem.”
17. A pre-test for the test to predict the performance on the test that itself is meant to predict understanding is an efficient way to process learning.
18. Engagement means learning.
19. Adoption of trendy learning tools will automatically improve learning.
20. Ignoring trendy learning tools helps keep the focus on “what’s important.”
21. Depth of knowledge doesn’t matter.
22. Curiosity is for cats.

The twenty-two myths listed in this article bust delusions, myths, and fallacies that rule the minds of policy makers. One will be surprised to see how mistaken we are about differential learning and the use of technology in class. Further to this, is the fallacy that engagement means learning, and that collaboration in the learning process should be constant!
