Calling Nurturing Men to the Teaching Profession

June 18, 2017 By Nancy Bailey 7 Comments

Missing Socialization in Today’s Public Schools

October 28, 2016 By Nancy Bailey 10 Comments

How do democratic public schools address the socialization of students? How are children brought together to make a kinder world? Does anyone even ask that question today? This past weekend I read “My Pedagogic Creed” by John Dewey (a little light reading on a Sunday afternoon), and I was struck by how far our public […]

@hueraTN @NancyEBailey1 YES! Martin Luther King:
"We are likely to find that the problems of housing and education, instead of preceding the elimination of poverty, will themselves be affected if poverty is first abolished.”

@BeckyPringle @KeithEricBenson Will be speaking at Phila Board Ed tonight re restoration of libraries with CTL’s. Only 6 of 200+ schools still have one. 3 newly appointed members all enjoyed that resource in their own school days.

The National Reading Panel from 20 yrs ago politicized the ongoing quest to build a repertoire of ways to effectively teach students to read. It is NOT settled science. Time for a new, genuinely balanced panel: https://nancyebailey.com/2021/02/22/time-for-a-new-national-reading-panel-to-study-reading-instruction/
