Academic freedom is for students, too
http://kris.shaffermusic.com/2015/04/academic-freedom-is-for-students
Academic freedom is for students, too. Who decides what teachers teach? More importantly, who decides what students learn? Cedar Riener’s recent article for EML. Unpacks some of the implications of academic freedom in the classroom. He cites the AAUP’s statement on academic freedom.

Another defined academic freedom as t...

(I used the Backdraft app. To pre-load tweets to launch during the presentation.)

We began somewhat provocatively.

Why education?
http://kris.shaffermusic.com/2015/03/why-education
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the purpose(s) of formal education, especially public education. It’s not that I haven’t thought about it before! But because of some writing projects, and some committee work at CU, I want to articulate an exhaustive, concise vision of the purpose of education. I’ve come up with five overarching purposes of formal public education:. Intellectual and cognitive formation. What do I have wrong? What am I missing? I don’t think so.).

When someone proposes a new idea in education, that proposal is often followed by the question, But can you do it at scale? While at scale can mean a variety of things, in this context, it usually means doing it big maintaining the. But going big isn’t always best for students, and it isn’t even always best for the bottom line. Education-at-scale is frequently more expensive than anticipated. Because these kinds of endeavors a...
