		<description><![CDATA[We all know how magic (or tragic) having the &#8216;right&#8217; (or wrong) teacher can be for student learning. Professionalism, a sense of purpose and service, and a love for learning and teaching are all &#8216;must haves&#8217; to ignite student learning. I recently read an interesting blog post that referenced a 1982 survey that contrasts the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It always amazes me when I read &#8216;research&#8217; on something that, for parents at least, is completely intuitive. But research they must. The latest finding tells us&#8230; &#8220;play and down time may be as important to a child’s academic experience as reading, science and math, and that regular recess, fitness or nature time can influence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was just reading a post on The White House blog about a recent visit by President Obama to a successful charter school in Washington, DC. He noted that Capital City Public Charter School is &#8220;an example of how all our schools should be.&#8221; Yes. Innovation. A focus on problem solving, writing, math, and science.

		<description><![CDATA[This holiday season&#8217;s economic forecast is dismal at best. With folks uncertain about jobs and grappling with losses in the stock market, expensive gift giving is taking a backseat to economic frugality. As part of this re-thinking, consider giving your child&#8217;s teachers and mentors what they want more than anything this holiday season &#8211; the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent study has shown that young children&#8217;s academic skills were stronger when they had positive, sensitive, supportive teachers. This &#8216;relationship&#8217; factor seemed to matter more than standard measures of &#8216;quality&#8217; such as class size or educational levels of the teachers. &#8220;Using a sample of more than 2,400 4-year-olds in 671 pre-K classrooms in 11 [...]]]></description>
