Teacher Town Hall

Talk about good timing!  There is a discussion on msnbc right now that somewhat resembles our conversation last week in class.  Some of the topics that have come up are:  how to encourage creativity and team-based learning at all ages, how to train students to be critical thinkers, how to close the equality gap in schools, how to engage both sides of the brain, how to change how teachers and students are assessed, curriculum development, charter schools, etc.  If you have some time this afternoon, it's on until 2 PM and I'm sure that there will be coverage online as well.  There is definitely no consensus among the audience on any of the topics, which is making the conversation incredibly rich.
