The education community is anticipating a major policy speech by Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn tomorrow at 12:45 p.m. before the Washington State School Directors’ Association annual conference.
Last week, the Seattle PostGlobe reported that Superintendent Dorn would call for yet another delay in science and math requirements for high school graduation. Since the report came out, many education stakeholders have reached out to Superintendent Dorn and his office to advocate against another delay. LEV’s co-founder Lisa Macfarlane expressed grave disappointment about any further delays. ”It’s the wrong move, at the wrong time.”
So what will Superintendent Dorn say? Unfortunately, TVW is not airing the speech until Friday at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. But, stay tuned tomorrow for LEV’s reaction to the policy speech.

It is a lot easier to blame the math teachers for math failure when the Bergeson teaching pedagogy turned theology stays in charge behind the scenes.
The theology from the Dana Center reform types in which group work / differentiation / Sesame Street Happy Happy = engagement = success.
Hopefully the WTM sources were inaccurate.
