I'm conducting a one question survey. If you have taken the Praxis II Content Knowledge Exam in your discipline, did you find the exam valid? Yes or No and Why or why not? This information will be used to determine whether or not to use this exam as a measure of content knowledge for teachers applying for advanced compensation. We already have portfolio and performance measurements, but we are trying to determine which exam would be appropriate to get an objective measure of content knowledge.
July 7-11, 2003. "Reclaiming Connections: Caring, Trust and Social Justice in Schools and Communities".
A Summer Institute in Cambridge, Mass. sponsored by the Center for Peaceable Schools at Lesley University.
Practical solutions and hands-on practice for educators, parents and community members engaged in creating alternatives to a culture of disconnection and injustice. What role does the teaching of social justice play in the creation of strong and caring communities? How can we develop trust across the differences that so often divide us? What are the components of a truly caring classroom? How can we rethink and relearn the messages we receive from the larger culture about how to resolve conflict? What does it mean to teach peace instead of teaching war? Keynotes this year include educator Nel Noddings and performance artist Michael Fowlin. 30 PDPs. $450.
