| 1. | 2/5/2008 1:56:00 AM | I am unsure what you mean by "learning communities". I would like to see this better defined. |
| 2. | 2/5/2008 3:48:00 AM | We need to be on the same page so that our students get the best. |
| 3. | 2/5/2008 4:11:00 AM | The loss of grade level meetings has greatly reduced the effectiveness and activeness of learning community. Assessment has dominated instruction which is unfortunate. |
| 4. | 2/5/2008 8:44:00 PM | Assessment comes in many forms, and we already do a lot. We don't necessarily need more, the results just need to be discussed and instruction changed because of it. |
| 5. | 2/5/2008 9:58:00 PM | I believe that "community" is the key to:
illiminating bullying
better test scores
more homework completion
no tatteling
better overall respect for adults and peers within the learning area
Building this takes TIME, and my concern is when instructional expectations are continuing to rise (minutes), where do we find this time. It seems to me that we need to START with this, and topple down. |
