Jennifer, The Common Core Standards cannot possibly include all the things you value. Those things cannot be assessed with a standardized test. I believe the writers of those standards are rooted in the behavioral psychology of learning which limi...

Ethan, As a retired teacher and teacher educator, I want to commend you for your thoughtful responses to the Common Core Standards. In the '70's I taught in an extremely effective "open school" that focused on the learners and their interests. Tea...

Hi All...great discussion and thoughts. I worry about our organizations becoming a part of this.... Next step.... on the assembly line, as Bob and others have stated, is the TEST. I think part of this strange new game we are in is to get folks ...

Leif, I'm not sure if you are a member of NCTE or it's Conference on English Education, but in the latest issue of English Education Bob Yagelski (in an article entitled A Thousand Writers Writing: Seeking Change through the Radical Practice of Wr...

After reviewing the Common Core State Standards Initiative, I found myself scrolling up and down and asking myself, “Is that it?” Notice that I said I was scrolling; I did not flip the page over and back because I was reviewing the standards on my...

One of the things that strikes me immediately about these standards is that they are not representative of their message. There is a theme of 21st Century Literacy about the rhetoric these days, yet many don't seem to even know what this is. Not o...

One thing that must be remembered, most notably for the public school K-12 teacher, is that ELA standards are more often than not implemented by those who do NOT know the field and/or current best practice. The administrator who is in charge may o...

Hi Kent, it was very nice to meet you at CEE last month. I really enjoyed talking with you. Hope to see you at NCTE.

Hi Kent,

It looks like you are very active on this site and in NCTE, so I thought that I would drop you a line introducing myself. I am a curriculum developer and technology enthusiast who lives in Michigan. I just joined this network, so I figured that I'd reach out.

Kent, I was looking for the video you shared at the Milwaukee Leadership conference, and while I found the general site, am mucking about to local the specific one. By chance could you link it? It was better than free

BTW - this is a great clip with Clay Shirky
Web 2.0, Gilligan, and One Percent of Your Time
I recently ran across this video http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=5885
from the April 2008 O'Reiley Web 2.0 conference. I think this talk captures the revolution in collaborative communication better than I could. I strongly urge you to take 10 minutes and watch it.

thanks, Kent and NCTE headquarters folks, for your dedication and putting these 21st Century things into our thoughts and at our fingertips!

Kent,

when you get a chance please say hello to Daniel A. Guerrero. Dan is a new member and will attend convention for the first time this year. Dan is one of my former students from the UC Berkeley Urban Ed course. He is also working with me to promote Pathways in his school and among teachers in the Bay Area.

Kent,
when you get a chance can you send a hello to Lauren Markham and Mukta Sambrani--new English teachers, new members of NCTE and new to this Ning. They are both my students?
Dale
