When a school district gave teachers a voice
--
This was written by educator Anthony Cody, who taught science for 18 years in inner-city Oakland and now works with a team of science teacher-coaches that supports novice teachers. He is a National Board-certified teacher and an active member of the Teacher Leaders Network. This post appeared on his Education Week Teacher blog, Living in Dialogue. This is long but it is an interesting account of a grass-roots teachers convention in Oakland, where real collaboration between the administration and teachers took place. In some parts of the country today, that represents real news.
Who is the most educated English queen?
Kate Middleton, if/when she is crowned queen of England, would be the first ever with a college degree. But the queen with the broadest education and deepest intellect was probably the brilliant Queen Elizabeth 1, who was learning Latin at age 5.
Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, who is marrying Prince William on Friday, could become queen of England if William is crowned king.
Middleton attended exclusive private schools. For primary (elementary) grades, she attended until she was 13 years old St. Andrew School in the village of Pangbourne in Berkshire. Founded in 1934, it is located in a Victorian mansion on 54 acres of playing fields, lawns and woods.
