Illustrations by Jessica Fitzpatrick for Lifting the Curtain
http://www.liftingthecurtain.com/illustrations.html
A few of my favorites from Jess. Sorry, only battle-hardened classroom teachers will (painfully) understand some of these! Working with the "educators" and bureaucrats at DoE. Wonder how many of them could even spell the word "klassrume? It's the teacher's job to motivate children to do homework. Of course, it's never the parent or student responsibility. Some weeks, you have a much better idea what General Custer felt at the Little Big Horn. Wink, wink, nod, nod). Who needs "merit pay? These illustratio...

A look inside Lifting The Curtain. Caveat - Some Truth in Advertising. This book is heavily focused on metropolitan and urban schools. Such urban schools comprise a large minority (38.7%) of our nation’s students yet they also contain the vast majority of reported issues with graduation rates, drop outs, cheating scandals, and poor standardized test scores. Very little of this book’s analysis was based upon research or experience in suburban or rural schools. Clearly, some. Rapid loss of good teachers.
Student comments selected from survey results for Lifting the Curtain
http://www.liftingthecurtain.com/students.html
Survey comments offered by students. It was stunning to see the depth and insights of many of the student comments that were offered at the end of the survey. Many showed far more wisdom and understanding of the real education issues than a statehouse building full of bureaucrats and "educators." Two overall observations jumped out at me:. First was that "teachers" were both the "best" thing about school,. Second was how often the comments show that students want to learn. 192 pages, illustrated. We don’...

The system, tries to fix the real systemic problems. 192 pages, illustrated. The deadly trap of not allowing a child to fail. Good teachers who have given...
Survey of 760 teachers and studentds in urban high schools for Lifting The Curtain
http://www.liftingthecurtain.com/survey.html
The Student and Teacher Survey Results. An important part of the three years of background research that went into preparation for this book was an original survey of 774 students and teachers in a dozen schools and three states. In all the published information and opinions about education, almost nothing has been published on what the primary stakeholders - students and teachers - feel about education. We seem to have asked everyone outside. Teacher support from administration. Only 4% of parents of st...

Lifting The Curtain
Thursday, July 26, 2007. Thought it was time for me to share. In our meeting Clay, you said that you and Isaac wanted to do something different, so I have been trying to ignore the stage directions (thinking of them as suggestions, not absolutes), and this is where I am right now:. I like the idea that Clay mentioned, that this is the story the ghosts tell to themselves when everyone else goes home and I would like the clothing to reflect this. This means period clothing for everyone, and they should...
