Neil Rochelle's Blog about Cultivating Change In Schools (formerly changing high schools)

Several years ago while Superintendent of schools at Iroquois Central School in Western New York the district embarked upon some exciting initiatives in an attempt to reform high schools as we know it. We made some significant changes as to how we educate our high school students. As I move on in my own learning and career, it is my intention to continue to effect change in how we educate our children in the 21st Century and prepare them for life in a globally oriented society

Are You Paying Attention?

This year we are meshing three initiatives in our high school. Bill Daggett's Model Schools, Thoughtful Education principles of Strong and Silver and the integration of Web 2.0 technologies. While I was shown this video a few months ago, I had forgotten about it until one of our Elementary Principals sent it to me. If this doesn't illustrate all the things we are talking about this teachers and how we should be changing the way students learn, I don't know what does.
Please take a few moments.....It's worth it!
