Teacher Value
This weekend in N.B. there were excellent presentations regarding curriculum. I was extremely impressed with the passion each presenter displayed. Although many different subjects were chosen for curriculum "disection", one common theme was revealed. The value of caring, interested teachers is critical. Teachers drive the curriculum. If anyone thinks differently, ask students what classes they learn the most and like to attend, the answer is how teachers work with the students. A true teacher will find ways for students to learn and will continue to learn their practice. Applause for teachers!!!

You're absolutely right Duane, what is most important is caring interested teachers, who are willing to work with the students, with what they know, with their experiences and strengths and find ways to help them learn--this may include using technology in appropriate ways.
