Weekend in North Battleford

There was plenty of interesting discussion during our weekend in N.B. I found the explanation of Schwab's article particularly insightful. Honestly, the language of the article was so confusing that I could not get through it in my first attempt. Now that I have a basic understanding of it I am going to try again. I also found the debate on the new curriculum interesting. Although I am a relatively new teacher, I think less prescriptive guides are a step in the right direction. I am an educated person and should enjoy more academic freedom.
