Dave Edyburn is so right when he says that we must stop reserving assistive technology for the "privileged" few who "qualify". Each individual has a unique set of learning needs and ought to have access to the learning tools that he or she needs.Paul Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594007631592685010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19457872.post-80253046759140602942009-05-17T19:36:00.000-04:002009-05-17T19:36:00.000-04:00Lisa -

But I guess hoped to at least get people to stop forcing kids to hate books right at the start. What you're saying is more meaningful, however.<br /><br />astrang,<br />A great addition. We have to change the narratives surrounding education.

One more I have been considering as I read Andy Hargreaves: The Fourth Way. He explains that nostalgia for the past, valuing of standardized test scores, and resistance to change comes out of 'anxiety without information'. He advocates building richer relationships through informed public engagement in order to increase involvement and understanding in the community as a way to decrease the perceived need for test scores to measure education. I think this would make a good addition to your list.Anita Stranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546910483219829858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19457872.post-28328667254130968022009-05-17T14:35:00.000-04:002009-05-17T14:35:00.000-04:00Great ideas, Ira.

Think it applies to much older students, especially middle schoolers (think Chip Wood's idea of middle school in Yardsticks).Lisa Parisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139683732388415845noreply@blogger.com
