McKenzie argues that artful teaching strategies offer the greatest promise of improved student performance - not equipment or scripted lessons.

Technology as Diversion

By Jamie McKenzie

FNO Press Launches Web Site Critical of NCLB

Concerned that NCLB puts too much emphasis on testing and not enough on capacity building and funding, FNO Press has launched a new journal, "No Child Left," and a Web site, http://nochildleft.com, to urge repeal or drastic amendment of NCLB. You can subscribe for free to the monthly journal.
