I am hoping get back into the swing of things regarding weblogs after my sister's wedding this weekend. I have a yet to note the K-12 weblog for educators using weblogs in the trenches produced through the Bay Area Writing Project. Terry Elliot has a story of his linked about the need for collaboration among educators. When business itself says it wants students who can do the basics and collaborate around projects, why is it that the present model of professional development and ongoing educator team collaboration seem sorely lacking in the school workplace in general? Children are not so naive to see if a staff works together. Why ask children to work in teams and work in project management when the adults can not do it well themselves. How can a teacher instruct about writing if they themselves do not writie and thus model the higher order thinking involved in the process ( the inside game of writing). This is exactly an issue that both Central Office and the Union will not touch. It would mean more collaborative planning time, paid planning time. 7:30:26 AM
