This blog on Texas education contains posts on accountability, testing, K-12 education, postsecondary educational attainment, dropouts, bilingual education, immigration, school finance, environmental issues, Ethnic Studies at state and national levels. It also represents my digital footprint, of life and career, as a community-engaged scholar in the College of Education at the University of Texas at Austin.
Great piece in The Atlantic on mindfulness in the classroom. I have thought about a pedagogy of mindfulness as an antidote to the bombardment of our children by advertisers and media, together with their ready access to a dizzying array of social media options even in the earliest years. Heck, we need this for the college classroom, too.
