http://dcscores.blogspot.com/2015/02/lincoln-middle-school-students-visit.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Lincoln Middle School students visit White House, ask questions of pro soccer players. Written by Zach Gomes. Soccer Coordinator and Lincoln Middle School coach. The DC SCORES Lincoln Middle School Knights got to meet the MLS Champion, LA Galaxy, and NHL Champion, LA Kings, — and we got to do it at the White House! I was flabbergasted at the response from some of the kids when I told them we had been selected to go to the White House. Why does it matter! It’s the White...

I am a big fan of Goodreads, and this week I created my first list. Check it out, vote, and add your own favorite train books. I am sure I have forgotten some. It's been...

Public education in DC and elsewhere. 2016 · Natalie Wexler and DC Eduphile. Some DCPS schools have to cope with an influx of midyear transfers. July 27, 2015.

Public education in DC and elsewhere. 2016 · Natalie Wexler and DC Eduphile. DC schools are missing an opportunity to equip students for coding jobs. December 14, 2015. In recent years schools in the District have expanded opportunities for students to learn computer coding, an occupation where demand is outpacing supply. But they could do much more to engage low-income students in a potentially lucrative career path that doesn’t necessarily require a college degree. DC and 26 states now allow. But much ...

Public education in DC and elsewhere. 2016 · Natalie Wexler and DC Eduphile. Why reading tests don’t actually test reading skills. October 24, 2016. Here’s a quick question: Do reading tests test reading skills? You may think that’s a question on the order of Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb? But if you said yes, the real answer may surprise you.
