What's the latest?
Check out my latest
article, "Why Teachers Must Be Data Experts," in the
December 2008/January 2009 edition of Educational
Leadership magazine. You can find a digital
copy on
ASCD's website.
In March, I will be presenting a roundtable session with my fellow
Outstanding Young Educator Award winners at this year's annual ASCD conference in
Orlando FL. I intend to share thoughts and
resources for helping teachers develop assessment and
data literacy, but mostly I am excited to reconnect with
ASCD colleagues and friends.
My friend and fellow
English teacher, Sara Biltz, and I just returned from
San Antonio TX where we visited the Alamo and presented a session about
using technology to help rural students avoid
shift shock as they transition into the wider world
of college and work. For the presentation, I
experimented with using dynamic HTML, essentially
creating a slide show using web pages which participants
could access during and immediately after the session.
Look, Ma - no handouts!
Newberry County and
Mid-Carolina have been keeping me busy with lots
of leadership and growth opportunity. This year
I've been conducting a great deal of professional
development, including work around MCHS's
data website
which I designed and built to provide a foundation for
faculty discussion and decision-making.
