The Doc Is In: Enforcing the Contract

http://drpezz.blogspot.com/2007/12/enforcing-contract.html

Sunday, December 9, 2007. Five teachers left the building without permission after the last class of the day and before the pep assembly, which they are required to supervise (by contract). Each was seen by the administrator supervising the parking lot for students trying to leave early. Also, four teachers who were sitting in front of the students rather than among the students refused an administrator's request to sit in a position better suited for supervision. What bothers me is this:. Doc, Do not le...

The Doc Is In: Online Alternatives

http://drpezz.blogspot.com/2007/12/online-alternatives.html

Thursday, December 27, 2007. The successes of an online school are touted as a potential solution for students looking for a new mean of success. And it works for some. Over 1800 students are enrolled in this online school with high levels of success in reading, scores comparable to public schools in math and reading, and special needs students with passing rates near their fully-abled peers. Sounds wonderful. 1 The curriculum is not aligned with ours. 2 The rigor falls far short. 5 The students have a h...

The Doc Is In: Differentiated Diplomas

http://drpezz.blogspot.com/2007/12/differentiated-diplomas.html

Saturday, December 29, 2007. I often wonder if a partial solution to helping colleges, trade schools, and employers determine the worthiness of students for their programs and businesses is the diploma itself. I anticipate my solution will not be popular among certain groups, but I do think it could eliminate some of debate over assessing student backgrounds and achievement. My rough idea for four diplomas, which I would probably color code rather than officially name:. These are just rough thoughts but ...

The Doc Is In: Teacher Created Failures

http://drpezz.blogspot.com/2007/12/teacher-created-failures.html

Sunday, December 9, 2007. I went to the high school state football championships this last weekend and watched a coach lose the title game for his team. His inability to adapt and poor play calling at critical moments (really, it was greed leading to opponent points) took the victory from the kids; the leader decided the outcome rather than allowing the kids the opportunity to succeed. Two teachers refused to attend the training for their department's new approaches to teaching their content. This co...

The Doc Is In: Where is the Money?

http://drpezz.blogspot.com/2007/12/where-is-money.html

Friday, December 28, 2007. Where is the Money? According to the U.S. Census Bureau. The United States has a current population of 303,124,730 and according to the NPP. The Iraq War debt is about $481 billion. Based on the population in Washington State, our share is approximately $10.4 billion. This could be used, at $58,000 per teacher, to hire almost 180,000 teachers. I used my classes two years ago to show how the same course I taught to two classes, one of 18 students and one of 28 students, showed a...

The Doc Is In: Hmm...

http://drpezz.blogspot.com/2007/12/hmm.html

Monday, December 3, 2007. My wife says this comic. I was gonna use that on my recent meta blogging post, and then realized I might have a problema. :). I love that strip. Rat's gotten after Goat for his blog a few other times, too. Too close to the bone, sometimes! I take it your wife's not a blogger. (If I was drinking coffee right now, it would be all over my keyboard. Your post is funny on so many levels.). Thanks for the chuckle, Doc. :). December 3, 2007 at 10:21 PM.

The Doc Is In: Mad Dogging Me

http://drpezz.blogspot.com/2007/12/mad-dogging-me.html

Saturday, December 15, 2007. In my high school the kids have a term called "mad dogging." This is when someone stares across at another student with the intent to harass or bully, which often leads to a shouting match, bad blood, or even a fight. I got mad dogged in a more figurative sense by an administrator (I will call this person Mad Dog). What are those numbers? I see what M.D. is showing with his presentation, but "how are we doing? Well, I was upset and attempted to speak with Mad Dog during my pr...
