A teacher makes 10 predictions for education in 2020 — some of them rather hopeful

Every year, veteran teacher Larry Ferlazzo makes two lists for this blog: one on what he sees as the best and worst education news of the past year; the second on education predictions for the next year.

I published his 2019 list, and here are his 2020 predictions.

Ferlazzo teaches English and social studies at Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento. He has written or edited 12 books on education, writes a teacher advice blog for Education Week Teacher and has a popular resource-sharing blog. He has written pieces for this blog over the years, including one on how teachers can help students motivate themselves and this one, one of my favorites, titled: “NEWS BREAK (not breaking news): Teacher asks students to grade him. One wrote: ‘I give Mr. Ferlazzo an A at being annoying.’ ”

As always, Ferlazzo invites readers to comment on his predictions and add their own in the comments.
