"Toward Greater, More Equitable Access To an Excellent Education" focuses on the need to continue to give our students a "liberal arts" education. The article made some good points about the art of teaching and providing "space" for learning to go on. It reminded me of the book by Parker Palmer "The Courage To Teach", which I think is an excellent book about teaching and should be required reading for anyone entering the teaching profession.
I have been recently observing high school social studies classes and I've been pretty impressed by what I'm seeing--good teaching, attentive students--very encouraging!
