GatewayFtr is just another way to make everyone average. If children can not be productive, then you should change the rules. This is just a money making scheme with little quantitative data to support it.Grade phenomenon and not the student. I give phenomenon an A and the student a F.Tie this into state and federal standards. Show utility in terms of academic growth quantitatively. Program dropped!!!!

Interestingly enough, I am currently studying prior research, which has shown increases in academic achievement and motivation when students understand they're thinking and use metacognition. I would have liked to see more of how the teachers were using what they know about the leaners to adapt instruction.

I thought that this video was a good way to let the student and the teacher know what they can do to help the students learn more effectively. I hope all the teachers everywhere can view this. This kind of information has good tactics to use and can be very helpful for the teachers.

This is my first blog and I must say I didn't know what a blog was before entering this site. As I navigated through the different topics and communications I became a believer. I hope to use blogs in my professional and possibly personal life from now on. It seem like a great resource for continuing education and learning new practices.
I thought Knowing How You Learn: Schools Attuned was a great article and video not only for educators, but parents and children as well. So often we assume others have the same mindset or thought process as we do and it is difficult to step back and see how other people are different. This shows how educating students on how they learn empowers them to self advocate and take learning into their own hands.
Very well done and thought

Very well done and thought provoking. I am amazed at the research, specialists and commitment being made in education to teach all students.
