PD – Break the Formula




Given the research and development in assessment for learning, understanding by design, web 2.0, etc, you’d think that we’d hear the old guard complaining that things have changed. Things besides photocopiers.

But things haven’t changed at all — unless they’ve gotten worse. Every seminar on education opens with two minutes hate for sinful pedagogy — it still reigns today! The narrative arch of every session goes on to invite confession and absolution. If you paid the fee, you’re given an photocopied indulgence that will solve all your problems.

Hopefully your name is spelled correctly.

Surely I’m not the only person who can see the developments (sometimes small, sometimes significant) that are happening in education.
