Big Ideas for Better Schools

What will it take to make our schools better? A video at www.edutopia.org has the answer.  This video shares ten big ideas on improving public education.  Each idea plays an equally important role in the education of our students.  Some of the ideas include teacher preparation, parental involvement, and comprehensive assessment.  With each idea, the video provides footage of it being played out in an actual classroom.  It is awesome to see students moving, collaborating, and learning in ways that are meaningful. If we can provide our students with an environment that promotes real-world projects, integrated studies, and technology integration, then we will be preparing them for a very bright future.

I believe the best way to make better schools is to provide the knowledge and resources for new and existing teachers to get it done.  As a new teacher, I want the know-how to implement these useful strategies in my classroom. Making our schools better is a shared goal for parents, teachers, and communities all over the world.  This video does a great job providing evidence that it is being done everyday.
