From the McGraw Hill Inspired Ideas Blog: Making Small Groups Work for Differentiated Instruction by Dr. Vicki Gibson. “More than 30 years of research has proven that working with students in small groups works best to enhance learning and achievement. Yet, most classroom practices continue using lecture-format lessons that do not allow sufficient discussion and student engagement.”
“I want there to be teachers involved at all levels of decisions and policy. I want teachers to be writing about education for the general public. I want teachers to be sharing with other teachers what works in their classrooms. I want teachers to have a voice in education beyond their schools.” Raising Our Teacher Voices: A Call For A New Generation of Leadership by Jen Orr on Te@chthought.
That concludes this week’s edition of Ed Links. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you again next Friday.
