Measuring student success skills: A review of the literature on self-direction

Heather has spent the last 6 years teaching secondary math in 3 different schools across two states. I've recently left the classroom to spend more time with my two children, and to research and brainstorm my next steps as an educator. I like to spend my days highly caffeinated and exploring new adventures with my kids.

Toward a Better Democracy: Lessons from the Black Freedom Movement

April 17, 2022

...our current way of organizing our schools not only alienates students from authentic learning... but also reinforces our already existing desires for authoritarianism and other antidemocratic impulses.

And the more we reinforce this narrative of learning loss, it invalidates everything you just said. Right? Everything that I know that I've learned doesn't matter. Because we're still looking at this year, people didn't measure up. We didn't learn the things we're supposed to learn so now you're behind. Right. So now you're behind, learning loss. And it's really invalidating.
