Lockett Learning Systems: July 2014
http://lockettlearningsystems.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 3, 2014. A few years ago I was privileged to travel to another country. Every time our tour guide began to talk, strangers would join our group. I thought that was a little bit odd…even a little bit rude. I might stand near another group’s tour guide and “eavesdrop” to hear part of the information for one or two items…but to join another group wouldn’t be, in my mind, appropriate or ethical. It happened at every stop. Those who visited our group at every stop were the Secret Police. LLS is...

You know.the days when we taught our content and assumed students could read, write, think, and calculate well enough to master whatever we had to say. A few years ago an article caught national attention: “Why can’t Johnny read? 8221; Lockett Learning's key question is not, "Why can't Johnny read? It is "What must we do so Johnny can read?

Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Is college for everyone? I want to weigh in on this age-old debate. I've been at this game of education for a long time now. I know the answer. College is not for everyone. The responsibility to prepare everyone for college. Belongs to every teacher. An educator's responsibility is to make sure that every high school graduate. Will go but to make sure that everyone has that choice. Am I in favor of arts education? Am I in favor of vocational education? Using the strategies of ...

Lockett Learning Systems: The "Uncommon Core" Success or Failure?
http://lockettlearningsystems.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-uncommon-core-success-or-failure.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. The "Uncommon Core" Success or Failure? As a beginning teacher, I was always reading the textbook and thinking, "No wonder the kids don't understand this! I would re-write the instructions and pass out a handout that explained what the textbook had muddled. I didn't know then that I was a writer. I just knew that I could do a better job of explaining the "how-to" of my lesson than the textbook authors had done. It is rare that I read an article and think, "Well done! I asked a prin...

Thursday, September 20, 2012. How Do You Recognize a Student At Risk? Every student is high-risk at some time in life. The question is not “Whether,” it’s “When? 8221; The more important question is “What will we do about it when? Of course we checked it out immediately! Two great tragedies occurred in this situation: 1. A student failed unnecessarily; and 2. A good teacher didn’t know what to do so did nothing! If a student is on drugs, that student does not get better if we pretend we don’t see&#...

Monday, April 16, 2012. Elaine wanted to be a coroner. She talked about it; she dreamed of the day when she could solve the problems of the world by uncovering medical truths through autopsy. She was so enthusiastic and persistent that we created a one-person field trip for her to meet the county coroner. You tell them what they will have to do. The choice is always.

Thursday, October 18, 2012. What To Do When You See The Signs. Have you noticed that. Things start to get a little crazy on campus as we approach Halloween? Things on campus stay a little crazy until Christmas break. Things get a little crazy on campus during football or basketball season. Then there’s the time leading up to Prom night. And, of course, every campus is blessed with “senioritis.”. Have you noticed that, when you work with students, life can be a little crazy? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Lockett Learning Systems: June 2012
http://lockettlearningsystems.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 11, 2012. An A For Everyone! An A For Everyone! Check out my new e-book on Kindle: An A For Everyone! One of the big surprises for we teachers is that every student doesn’t learn the way we like to teach. Teaching strategies, techniques, and methodologies have to be rich and plentiful in order to bring about mastery learning for everyone. An A Is For Everyone! The ideas are easy to implement and effective, especially for those teaching kids with learning difficulties in the regular classroom.
