Make Time for Innovation Despite Curricular Demands
Kara Clayton
published a new article called Make Time for Innovation Despite Curricular Demands
. Clayton writes about her
experience
dealing with the
highly structured reading program called
Success for All
(SFA) and how making PSA's with her students helped her make time for innovation. She writes, " Innovation and literacy do not have to take place in silos. Instead, they can happen hand-in-hand... innovation, collaboration, discussion and reflection. Yes, it can happen in the elementary schools even when curricular demands seem overwhelming."

The
News Literacy Project (NLP) published a new blog this November called
News Literacy and Consipracy Theories. John Silva, Director of Education, writes: "
Without the skills to critically evaluate the content and sources for these posts, sites and other discussion groups, students can easily be persuaded that what's being said is factual. They may even contribute to the viral nature of the ideas by sharing them - in short, becoming a 'joiner."' To read the full blog please click here.
