Selwyn, 2011
a school’s engrained
educational format and goals
Selwyn, 2011
grammar of schooling:
“…we [math team] all need to do the same because everybody needs to have the same thing and equal and all the same time.
If you don’t do that material and you don’t give them that quiz and that test, well that’s not fair. Your kids are making some frilly little project they’re going to get an “A” on, and my kids have to factor something which is hell.…”
✓ Include leaders in prof learning✓ Drive change w/ librarians ✓ Enact tiered visioning✓ Nurture content-specific tech PLCs✓ Support real risk-taking
