Put your hands up and move away from the textbook

00podcast16x16_4Listen to this post!

Dan Meyer is a dynamic young math teacher for the San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District. He totally gets it when it comes to assessment. Here are four great posts, the first three of which I wish I could get every teacher and administrator in Minnesota to read:

  • How math must assess (be sure to read Dan's 'mini-thesis')
  • From the mailbag: Kay Endriss
  • "NCLB is forcing me to teach to the test."
  • The presentation (includes a Quicktime movie)

Thanks, Chris, for introducing me to Dan's blog. You called him a 'must-read.' I think you're right.
