		<description><![CDATA[Just read an interesting article about a new Facebook app that transforms the social-networking site into a study group.

		<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[In my years as an educator, I have repeatedly experienced examples proving what intuition has always told me: People &#8211; children included &#8211; will &#8220;rise to the occasion&#8221; when high expectations set for them, assuming those expectations are reasonable, and support is provided.

In fact, an educator can upload and share a full 180 days worth of lessons. Check it out, and avoid re-inventing the wheel! This site looks great and seems to have great potential.
