Today in SPED 200 Andrew, Kirsten and I gave our presentation to the class on chapter nine from the text Introduction to Teaching. Chapter nine was on Governance and Fiance: Regulating and Funding Schools. It was a complicated subject, but I think overall our presentation went well and Andrew and Kirsten were wonderful to work with.
After the presentation Dr. Johnson talked to the class about a website called Students First.org. This website was created by Michelle Rhee, and is a non-profit organization. Michelle Rhee was the School Chancellor in the Washington D.C. school district. Michelle Rhee worked hard to try and transform the school districts. Many things that she tried was voted down my the teachers unions and after all of her efforts, she was fired. There is a section under take action where we can go to support her website.
She also talked about a new assignment in which we are going to assess two other people's blogs. I am going to assess Kirsten and Andrew's blogs. The blog reviews are due on April 19th.
