  1. 3rd grdrs crtd wiki around careers Please post your career and repost the link: http://thirdgradeinquiry.wetpaint.com/page/A+Path+to+Follow
  2. Just finished facilitating a design session for Hanson Turnaround. Tiring, but I think we are on the right track.
  3. Tired too. Should be a good day though. Everyone leaves with a "design journal" and homework to collect (scrapbook) school design ideas.
  4. Feds call it "turnaround", but we are going to call it "re-design". Just wrapped up planning for tomorrow's design session. Anxious.
  5. Thinking my distain for sleep is starting to catch up with me. I feel really tired this minute.
  6. Back from skiing. Was going to hit the bookstore and browse, but they close at 6pm. Lame.
  7. @christianlong Fine training for some police forces...won't name names.
  8. @ChristianLong DVRd It's a wonderful life tonight...will reflect on that while watching.
  9. @woscholar The KIPP narrative impresses people. Kids commuting 1 hr each way, school 6 days a wk, and good test scores.
  10. @techicebreaker Thus, charter schools cannot be compared to traditional public schools unless researchers control for choice and motivation
  11. @techicebreaker In research we must say, "all other things being equal". When attendance is choice based all other things are not equal.
  12. Tiger is a louse. I am late to the comment party, but I am tired of seeing and reading about it.
  13. IDEO is cool. http://www.ideo.com/ I wonder job interviews are like there.
  14. Obsessively reading Tim Brown's stuff, watched TED talk, and ultimately thinking how to apply his lessons to a designing a turnaround school
  15. @woscholar 1 is KIPP takeover of Cole in Denver (failed) and the other is Locke (Greendot) in LA. verdict is out, but word is it is safer.
  16. @woscholar I only know of two examples of charter as neighborhood school where they take all the students in an attendance area
  17. Speaking of meta analysis, is there a meta analysis of charter school results? They are getting a lot of props w/o measurable results.
  18. On the other hand, there does seem to be research that shows summer school works to raise achievement. Not being discussed much.
  19. That said, it is popular...even required under the USDOE turnaround schools proposals.
  20. There does not appear to me any research that shows extended day improves student achievement. We need some analysis and meta analysis.
