Is wondering: What the term "active learning" means to you and what you think of classroom activites which claim to be "active learning"? Can we really teach in ways that are compatible with how students learn? How?

Also.....

Is wandering: What the term "learning walks" means to you and what you think of districts which claim to be "not critical or bias" towards using the feeback from the walks for the process of evaluation? Can we really lead in ways that are compatible with how the need of schools are met?
