I completely agree with the point she raised!!!! Discussion: What do you think of what she said? Do we assess children in a manner that ‘fits’ with what she said?

Ohio has a new endorsement -- the Teacher-Leader Endorsement. This is an actual license, but has these requirements: Masters degree, four years teaching, a few extra classes. Piloted at Ohio Dominican, Wright, and somewhere else. These extra courses would not count for anything except "plus" hours. The four courses would be on methods of feedback, etc. Some schools are providing it as a two by two after the Masters is complete. The new teacher residency piece is an evolving target. "Every baby chick is ugly when it hatches." How does it differ from Pathwise training? This would be a new replacement program. The last group of people who received a five year license are finished. So, now it is evolving as to the four-year residency requirement. There would be a two year license, then another two year license, then a professional license. They are presenting this as if it were a "residency" method. The idea of the mentoring would be a declining dependence. Interest level would be moderate among this cohort. Note: The number of credit hours has not been delineated. Whether or not there would be additional pay for those with this endorsement has not been determined -- likely a district-by-district decision.

Waiting for Superman produced by the same guy who did that movie about global warming (An Inconvenient Truth.. Focuses on how ineffective teachers are. . . . . but good teachers should not be offended because they know they are good.

AFT Union pres in the movie. NEA not involved.

"Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education "statistics" have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying "drop-out factories" and "academic sinkholes," methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems."
