Hello everyone - I think it's time we had a debate on this JISCmail list -
anyone agree?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090310/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_education

How do feel about it? Should teachers' pay be linked to student performance?
Is there research by teachers about how they can best assist their students
to learn in lessons?
How transferable are strategies that teachers' research offer about
promoting learning?

Another question..

How do you feel about teacher training lasting 6 months - is there evidence
this works?
What would be the advantages and drawbacks?  What demands would it put on
schools?
Should candidates for a proposed sixth month training schedule be identified
as 'leaders'?

Happy Tuesday!
