Teacher Survival Strategies
The "90% Solution"
Teachers complain that they want a 100% solution because they can't leave any child behind (bad pun intended).
They also note that administrators frown on leaving any child (or group of children) in the lurch, and focusing upon only the students that are close to passing the high-stakes test offers a disservice to every other student.

Good to see you over here in this site.
I used to teach in San Antonio at the Winston School. Are you familar with it? I now teach in a small tow on the Arizona Utah border. I have been using blogs and live broadcast (webinars) to my students for the past two years (go to www.helloworld.com/cserventi).
Your site looks great.

How often do you publish a newsletter. Your site looks interesting.

I am finalizing two presentations for tomorrow and Thursday, both on the same handout CD.
I'll check out your Blog more fully, later. I have part of my presentations posted, they should be completely up by this evening.

American bureaucrats shun my articles, but seem to keep an eye on them. School district folks here also fail to enjoy my tendency to expose their "little secrets."
Even the Open Source folks shy away because I tell them that they focus too much on technology, and don't pay attention to the needs of teachers, especially on ways to make the technology easier for teachers to use.
Enjoy your evening.
Regards from Germany.
