March Madness – UPDATED 4/1/2010!

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Updated 4/1/2010 after announcement of round one winners (Start with slide 15 for update.) I couldn’t help but notice how the current madness associated with the Race to the Top finalists and the Obama Administration’s blueprint for reauthorization of NCLB are analogous to the other madness associated with March. Don’t forget that the secretary of education was a basketball player. Thanks to information from the New York Times, Education Week, and my own thinking, I have a humorous (I hope) and factual take on the current status. Let me know what you think (dgreen@stny.rr.com).

Race to the Top Spoof

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Yong Zhao immigrated from China in the 1990’s. He presents an alternate view on testing and national standards. Here is a link to a funny article in EdWeek where he spoofs the application for state Race to the Top money. I also am working on a summary of his book “Catching Up or Leading the Way: American Education in the Age of Globalization.”

Here is the link for this article.
