Persistent Pondering http://persistentpondering.posterous.com Where do social action, art, music, technology, media, pop culture, and most importantly, student needs intersect? posterous.com Fri, 22 Jun 2012 07:54:00 -0700 More than a Number: Barry Lane's Musical Response to Students and High Stakes Testing http://persistentpondering.posterous.com/more-than-a-number-barry-lanes-musical-respon http://persistentpondering.posterous.com/more-than-a-number-barry-lanes-musical-respon

Wow! I have been doing so much thinking about the effects of too much emphasis on testing on students. I know. So many people have discussed it. So many more people will discuss it. But, it doesn't hurt to continue this important discourse. These important discussions coupled with action are the only way to transform education into what our students deserve.

Please listen to Barry Lane's tune. Share it. Discuss it. Keep the dreams alive.
