Editor's Notes
- As a preface to this presentation I should mention that I struck ‘reform’ from my vocabulary earlier this month. It is no reflection on this conference or reform in general. Rather, I felt that it wasn’t properly describing what I felt needed to be done in the classroom or in schools. According to many definitions, it refers to ‘improve’—whose standards? “Better method?” “for the better?”
- To CHANGE. No qualifying language. You are not making your teaching better per se, you are CHANGING it with the effect of improving your teaching.
