Real, Authentic, Scary Real, Authentic, Scary QuestionsQuestions
• What is SpEd? • How can a teacher write one modified test that meets the
individual needs of 7 students on IEPs? • Why does it seem that the students with disabilities that
make school more difficult have less homework and work less than those without a disability?
• How can more than 50% of our students receive academic performance awards each year yet our average test scores be below the state average?
• What is a grade? • If student doesn’t turn in homework but passes
assessments, how can s/he be failing? • Are are we systematically creating a positive relationship
with every student? • If PE is all about participation, why do we call them
“teachers?”

And some more…
• Shouldn’t Honors English class be very difficult for a student who reads at the 40th percentile?
• If a teacher gives different assignments to students in the same class to differentiate, what do they put in the little box in the grade book?
• Why do we give “extra credit?” Isn’t that more about currency for work than a communication of mastery?
• If we modify the rigor of a course to meet the needs of a student, how can we put the same grade on the transcript as we would for everyone else using different criteria?
• Where did the notion that grades are based upon points for doing stuff come from?
• Is having grades online so we can argue about points instead of learning really better?
• Why is SpEd services so focused on helping kids do their homework? Shouldn’t they be addressing the real issue?
• What does research and expert opinion say about grading, rigor, standards, and SpEd?

Real Debates on Tech…Standardization vs. Innovation
• Training leadership, support staff, teachers, etc…
• Exposure to liability vs. addressing individuals
• Supporting multiple platforms and the constant change of Web 2.0 (vendors and products are out by the time we get them up and running!!)
• Cost, cost, cost
• False assumption that we need to give every child the same education
• Does it really help us teach better and improve student performance?
