Brandeis was...Thank you, Bob, for your kind words. Brandeis was an incredibly exciting place to be as a student, I can only imagine that the same must have been true as a faculty member. It's been interesting for me to reflect on how when I was there studying the brain I had no inclination that I'd go on to build a career in education. Now that I'm in the field, though, I realize that my experiences there were invaluable and deeply connected to my current work toward understanding and improving the learning process for secondary students. Given the high stakes and many stakeholders in the results of secondary education, I do feel strongly that communication is critical, and that the discussions on grading systems (while somewhat important) are peripheral to the more central need to improve our communication with students on what we want them to learn and how we want them to demonstrate it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14015173340703535140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928515094798031520.post-9238208923740513332009-04-29T19:56:00.000-04:002009-04-29T19:56:00.000-04:00Yes, Jonathan.

And consistent with that Brandeis University background! :) Kudos.Bob Heinyhttp://www.robertheiny.com/noreply@blogger.com
