From Tom Vander Ark - Sophisticated organizations have long used blended learning strategies to accelerate professional growth and provide real-time learning.

A growing body of evidence points to the importance of teaching children how to manage their emotions and behaviors. Known as social and emotional learning (SEL), the development of these noncognitive skills, like self-motivation and grit, is linked to better academic performance, higher college retention rates and increased employment and wages. These abilities lead to improved health and well-being as well, including a lower risk of substance abuse, obesity and criminal activity.

From Peter Greene on the NCTQ Report on Teacher Evaluation - "Let me say that again-- this group that has declared itself the arbiter of teacher quality for the country has no career teachers in positions of authority. None."

The debate about what constitutes good math instruction continues in this article in The Atlantic - "The underlying assumption here is that if a student understands something, he or she can explain it—and that deficient explanation signals deficient understanding. But this raises yet another question: What constitutes a satisfactory explanation?"

From Alexandra Samuel - My recent piece for The Atlantic, Parents: Reject Technology Shame, tackles the question of how to raise kids in a digital world.
