This isn&#8217;t the only story that has caught my eye in the last few weeks.  This story discusses research showing how &#8220;failing&#8221; districts using Supplemental Service funds do not appear to improve after utilizing those supplemental [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the lack of posting lately.  The blog is on a brief haitus until summer so I can focus entirely on finishing my dissertation (examining administrator perspective on least restrictive environment.)
If something grabs me, I&#8217;ll always be up for a post.  Otherwise, have a fabulous spring!  See you soon.

Need to be dissertating, but I couldn&#8217;t resist a short commentary on this one.  I&#8217;ve often discussed the benefits and drawbacks of using rewards in the classroom.  I am one of those who believes that some type of reward system can be a useful tool in maintaining a positive classroom culture.  I have also seen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To no surprise my thoughts are inspired by the NYT Education Desk.  I am a big supporter of the news they get out about education.
I was busy last week and missed this in the Times.  Some days I just can&#8217;t get around to reading the online paper.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/24/health/24well.html
Essentially, in last month&#8217;s Pediatrics journal, a study demonstrated [...]]]></description>

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/10/books/10scho.html?_r=1
Essentially Scholastic is being taken to task for selling trinkets and non-educational items alonside its offerings of books at fantastic prices.  I am divided as to how I feel about this issue.
First, as my teacher education students know, I am a HUGE fan of Scholastic.  I have so [...]]]></description>

The method is an interesting combination of Montessori and Dewey and I can see how [...]]]></description>
