PLCs: How To Build From Nothing To Something I spent some time listening to the sorts of words that the staff used when talking about student learning, student achievement, and teaching. What surprised me was how much it sounded like terms you would hear from health care professionals. I found this interesting. Working at a high poverty, high second language learner, and low achievement school these teachers talked about their work like they were trying to save lives and get kids “healthy.” I decided that I would use terms from a health care system model to introduce and explain the PLC initiative that we were undertaking. I like systems. Great teachers have excellent systems. So do great schools. And we need to be great. First and this is very important, all 4 phases rely on two ingredients. Great questions and hard data. Great results begin with great questions. And without data all we have are our own opinions.

When The Education Bubble Goes...Pop! In the post John Robb claims that as “there is reason to believe that costs of higher education (direct costs and lost income) are now nearly equal (in net present value) to the additional lifetime income derived from having a degree…this situation has all the earmarks of a bubble. A bubble that will soon burst as median incomes are adjusted downwards to global norms over the next decade."
