ACTION Blog: Rosetta

http://blog.qisa.org/2014/11/rosetta.html

Thursday, November 13, 2014. Whenever something like this happens, I am mindful of educators I have met who do not think Fun and Excitement has a role to play in academic pursuits. That somehow intellectual seriousness and emotional engagement are incompatible. That you can either be learning or having fun, but not both. Dare I say, love. Here's to the men and women who dreamed of landing a space probe on a planet and made it happen. Here's to dreaming and doing. Posted by Michael Corso. Is an independen...

ACTION Blog: October 2013

http://blog.qisa.org/2013_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Is being given the freedom to be creative and innovative. And so a result of schools being time-starved is diminished creativity. Not only in the form of cutting art and music to make more time for literacy and numeracy instruction, but also in lessons being rushed to cover material. There is little breathing space to engage material in a way that is creative and so engaging. Posted by Michael Corso. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Fixing Odds Against Idleness. The coalition als...

ACTION Blog: I Get No Respect

http://blog.qisa.org/2015/04/i-get-no-respect.html

Thursday, April 9, 2015. I Get No Respect. Those of us of a certain generation remember the signature line of the stand-up comedian Rodney Dangerfield: "I tell ya, I get no respect." He would tell story after story of how he got no respect from anyone. My favorite was when he explained that his parents tied a pork chop around his neck so the dog would play with him. No respect. I have written about this previously, but it is worth repeating because it keeps repeating itself. Posted by Michael Corso.

June 21, 2015. Creating educational programs and systems that work for all kids has been my work for a long time. I have grown to understand that asking educators to change how they work produces a range of very human responses:. Sounds good, but how? Maybe Can you show me that it works? Yes, but what about this?

ACTION Blog: Election Day

http://blog.qisa.org/2014/11/election-day.html

Tuesday, November 4, 2014. One of my favorite outcomes of Aspirations work is the following. The staff in this middle school had worked on student voice for a few years and wanted to put something systemic/structural in place. Moreover, they knew they needed to address "Old Guard" concerns about giving students too much say. In essence, they needed checks and balances in their system. Where better to look for a model than the U.S. Constitution. Posted by Michael Corso. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Friday, April 18, 2014. I have heard Dr. Russell Quaglia. Speak any number of times. He is always motivational and inspirational whether one-on-one or with our QISA. Staff or in a hall filled with thousands of people. His closing keynote at ASCD 2014. Was no exception. His passion for student voice and for trying to make schools a better place for all kids is fueled by a deeply held conviction that students are the potential, not the problem, in education. Their. And the Aspirations Academies Trust.
