Rose has proposed a solution. By designing for the average of everyone, the classroom is ideal to no one. Rose suggests adding much more choice to the classroom. Allow exams to be written or taken orally. Assign students more hands-on projects, in which they become in control of their own learning. New research bolsters his theory. Since Mehta and current doctoral student Sarah Fine , Ed. Of course, no teacher can assign and grade 30 individual projects and create 30 individual lesson plans every day.
Rose suggests schools more often exploit digital, scalable technologies that can deliver readings and assignments tailored to specific types of learners.

My English and U. And Mr. Rice culminated each chapter of American history with a class-wide debate in which we each assumed the role of a different figure from that period, bonus points for showing up in costume. You want to play basket-ball? Every teacher and academic I talked to kept coming back to relevance. I want to express my most sincere grattitude to them for taking the time to help me.

As they speak, the women, in a dialogue written by McKenzie Wark, create a trans-for-trans space for communication, for a world both part of and separate from the cis one.
