Michael Horn -- I had the opportunity recently to revisit Doug Lemov’s book, Teach Like a Champion: 49 Techniques that Put Students on the Path to College, which was published in 2010. It remains a good work that describes how teachers in today’s factory-model education system can make improvements in their teaching practice to bolster student learning.

Is Blended Learning a Threat to Doug Lemov?

eduK8 sumitted ago via http://blogs.edweek.org (Views: 89, Clicks: 4)  
View Story

Liana Heitin -- Horn's vision recognizes Lemov's techniques as purely academic tools—while teachers are likely to also see them as more nuanced classroom-management and character-building tools. Having a computer prevent a student from moving on until he has mastered a skill is very different from having a teacher insist that the student persevere.

Tom Vander Ark -- For Pearson, this transaction signals a more rapid move into school management that was anticipated. Historically, the line between supporting and operating schools has been one they did not want to cross given the special venom for private enterprise when it takes outcome responsibility. I suspect when they considered accelerating rate of adoption of learning online, it made the decision easy.

Every schoolchild should have a laptop, they said. Because in the near future, textbooks will be a thing of the past.
