If I could do this one over I would have spent more time with the kids actually explaining the research and connecting it to what they experience every day. I also would have clarified some of the specific things the research says, like the difference between bed time and what time deep sleep actually occurs, and how much this this all impacts everyone's mood. This certainly was another learning experience, and at the end of the day, the stakeholders got their input and feel good about that. We'll talk soon. Thanks for commenting and "Retweeting".Peter Jory Sea to Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603699808321345716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007077898952111696.post-29152976853096807572012-06-07T16:28:56.475-07:002012-06-07T16:28:56.475-07:00Hey Peter - I was speaking with Jacquie Taylor (@J...Hey Peter - I was speaking with Jacquie Taylor (@JeT33333) yesterday and she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the conversation. One of the things that she said really stood out: she sai, "If I could go back, I would use and encourage the use of more research in education". <br /><br />This morning I tweeted out a question somewhere along these lines: Why is it that "we know better" than educational research? With all the research opposing retention, volumes of homework, traditional assessment practices (including zeros), zero-tolerance policies, standardized testing, etc why do we continue to see these in systems, schools, and classrooms?<br /><br />This is something I would love to explore further: how do we use educational research more effectively to create positive change in our schools?<br /><br />Great post and I look forward to learning from you in your new role.Chris Wejrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12780371633522986214noreply@blogger.com
