Week 2

what I've learned about education...

- Year 7 is when teachers peak in their performance. Interesting! (Tom Carroll, Nat'l Commission on Teaching and America's Future)
- Teacher turnover itself, aside from quality of the teacher, has been shown to have a negative effect on student achievement (Loeb et al., "How Teacher Turnover Hurts Student Achievement")

what I've explored and experienced...

- attended a BESE Board meeting yesterday in Baton Rouge
- went to the farmer's market in the parking lot of my workplace today, and bought a pound of flounder and some fruit and veggies, including a tiny cantalope!
- great and affordable frozen yogurt last night with the roomies, accompanied by great eduaction talk and enjoying YouTube videos of Cholas doing their make-up
