Through this course, I've surmised that perhaps we're measuring the wrong thing. Could it be that if we measure the right elements (i.e. higher order thinking skills), a teacher who knows they're doing a good job will not feel as threatened?

Isn't insanity expecting a different outcome while doing the same thing?Markelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639760055734440205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926299417046983029.post-89998150491640802032007-10-15T21:49:00.000-07:002007-10-15T21:49:00.000-07:00Reinvention ~ That's what we need in the symposium...Reinvention ~ That's what we need in the symposium presentation!Karen Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13572610670768678076noreply@blogger.com
