At least I am finding this in most city elementary schools. Can't say for the middle or high schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-16422810974577233932011-02-07T20:05:07.385-05:002011-02-07T20:05:07.385-05:00I went to Hofstra University and the Curriculum an...I went to Hofstra University and the Curriculum and Teaching Department is as ANTI-WORKSHEETS as they come. In fact, when were given assessments in our graduate course work, we were rarely given exams. The professors used alternative ways to assess their students by making s write papers, plan group presentation and develop thematic units and lesson plans. <br /><br />I received a great education from Hofstra University, especially my training in early childhood education. This is where I attribute my progressive style of teaching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-63772406691313400152011-02-06T23:19:37.494-05:002011-02-06T23:19:37.494-05:00I agree.

I am hopefully going to be student teaching in the fall and graduating in December. I just want you to know that there are colleges out there that teach us to use our minds and not to rely on worksheets so much. The truth is, I have seen many new and seasoned teachers relying on worksheets pretty consistantly. I think it is because it is the easiest route. I don't believe worksheets are the answer to education. I believe hands on experience is. Applying things to real life. I hope this gives you some hope for education.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808019805533105261noreply@blogger.com
