Dallas Superintendent Rolls Out "Demonstration Of Learning" Requirement

Matthew Haag writes at the Dallas Morning News (9/27) education blog that Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles "wants to improve the quality of teaching and plans to hold teachers accountable for getting better," noting that starting this year, teachers are expected to implement "learning objectives and demonstration of learning" into their daily classroom routines. Teachers "must have a new learning objective every day. ... Then students must show that they understand the objective in a short test called the demonstration of learning."
