Your ideas and examples were inspiring. I'm working on some new projects right now, borrowed, (maybe stolen but hey it's just semantics) directly from YOU! Thanks! Hey Ted,

I know I was in a very progressive program at Cal State, LA in 1969-1970 and I know I had project based learning (because those are the teachers I remember) even when I was in elementary school(think the 50's!). Teaching methods and programs swing like a pendulum and have for years. I think teachers want to be creative but the problem is with the admins that only look at test scores and following the curriculum of the day. You have teachers out there trained in the 60's to now so another generation of teachers will not change this but a more enlightened leadership and public. Keep fighting the good fight. Ted,

I think that teachers aren't necessarily being encouraged to teach this way... but at the same time the tide is turning, and they aren't necessarily being discouraged from teaching like this. I think more and more teachers are realizing that creativity doesn't mean you have to stray from standards or mastery of concepts. We'll see! It'll be at least a generation before we see wholesale changes in the teaching profession because most people teach the way they were taught... so that always defaults to the "Stand and Deliver" methods. Thanks for posting! Nice hearing from you. Ted You bring up a great point.

But, are teachers being 'allowed' or encouraged to teach this way these days? My friends still teaching feel like they are 'teaching in a box' with little room for creativity. Do you think the tide will change? I hope so! Ted,
