“This is a story about the big public conversation the nation is not having about education… whether an entire

generation of kids will fail to make the grade in the global economy because

they can’t think their way through abstract problems, work in teams,

distinguish good information from bad, or speak a language other than English.”

Here is an example: "to teach commutative property in math we used a domino so that the students could see that 2 + 3 was the same as 3 +2 (the dots/total stayed the same)

Thoughts to take you into a break…

We learn best by doing… our deepest insights and understandings come from action, followed by reflection and the search for improvement… the journey may not be an easy one, but it is certainly one worth taking.
