Hits and Misses.....

WHAT AM I DOING TO HELP KIDS ACHIEVE?

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE THERE?

WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?


     When I started this blog,one of my number one rules was..stay positive.  There is too much negativity in the world and in education.  It is certainly o.k. to vent...sometimes it is healthy.   However, it does not help kids.  The end of the year crunch has been worse than in recent years.  SLO's and PARCC testing put a new wrinkle on things.  I can (and have) complain about these but it won't do much good.  Instead, I keep telling myself, "What can I do under these circumstances to deliver a quality education to the kids when they walk in the door?"
     Here is the goal....a blended classroom.  If things are going to be so crazy with the schedules and testing, I have to ask myself, can I still deliver an education with the use of technology?  Is it ideal?  No.  Is it better than the alternative?  Probably.  I think I just found my summer project.....
