"The Achievement Gap" and real impacts

Posted on August 9, 2007 at 9:35pm 0 Comments

on my social desktop. This is the third part of the series which takes

concepts introduced by "'The Achievement Gap' and culture", and

distinguishes between established methods for addressing the problem

and making real changes. In my last article I promised to go more into

technology, but it seems that the problem I'm addressing needs more

I'm working to promote international collaborations between educators.

Hi Jared. I was wondering if your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Jared,

Great to hear from you and best of luck with your project. One little initiative that I'm hoping to roll out this fall when school starts is a wiki-Encyclopedia on which (hopefully) many classrooms of students learning Spanish can write and edit each other's work. Here is the link.

Hi Jared,

When reading intrors I noticed you're from Corvallis, Oregon. I was at OSU during 2003 summer as part of a teacher program and I just love this city.

Kind regards form México
