"I think by far the most important bill in our whole code is that for the diffusion of knowlege among the people. no other sure foundation can be devised for the preservation of freedom, and happiness"

Bloom's work contributed to the understanding of systematic learning based on student understanding and need.  Bloom believed that student achievement was directly tied to environment and differentiation of content when delivered with enough time to master and reflect on the learning (Kinnes, 2016).]]> 2022-06-20 21:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/9990702/k7090e7eek88puqy/wish/2226090719 9990702 https://padlet.com/9990702/k7090e7eek88puqy/wish/2226091071 The Elementary and Secondary Education Act was Lyndon B.

A PLC culture is difficult to implement with fidelity due to the isolated nature of teaching and long-standing norms. However, intentionally implemented PLCs demonstrate improvement in campus climate and student performance]]> 2022-06-20 21:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/9990702/k7090e7eek88puqy/wish/2226091843 9990702 https://padlet.com/9990702/k7090e7eek88puqy/wish/2226092776 Classrooms have been equipped with computers since the mid 1980's, however, the ready access of information made available by the internet has major implications on teaching and learning.
Consider this, "Google is to students today what notebook paper was to the children of generations past" (Stice, n.d., para 1). Level one memorization skills are less important today than they were five years ago. Easy access to information allows students to search for basic information and then learn use that information in higher level ways]]> 2022-06-20 21:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/9990702/k7090e7eek88puqy/wish/2226092776 9990702 https://padlet.com/9990702/k7090e7eek88puqy/wish/2226093166 Growth mindset is a study indicating that successful individuals possess skills like perseverance and determination and that an individual's success is not necessarily based on intelligence.
