In one way it's jargon, but in another way I think to make the distinction between assessment for learning and assessment of learning can be useful. My way...

Rob, Thanks for sharing that account with us, and greetings to your learners. Tell me, tell us, have all, some most of your learners got easy personal access...
The reason I asked, Rob, was that I thought it sounds as if, outside your classes, many of your learners could well use the Internet to make English-speaking...

In the files section, Diarmuid, you'll find Self-descriptions of Rob's students, which is a document comprised of just what it says. This will sound as if I'm...
Rob, It is surely realistic to accept that there are days when classes just don't want to do anything. How old are your learners? Would the school authorities ...

I think we know where the neglect of duty is. Luke ________________________________ From: dogme@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Robert Haines Sent: Fri 04/07/2008...
Perhaps there wouldn't be a dogmetic response as such, Rob. One thing that I have learned from this list is that on issues where I would expect unanimity from...

Zosia, When I read the account and most of the comments, I was filled with gloom. I don't know the US from first hand experience, but in the countries I know, ...
Zosia I know what you are saying, but wanted to clarify: the professed ideology of the government of the day doesn't really come into it. Most (all?) of us...

The world never ceases to become clearer, if not necessarily friendlier. This affair helped me realize in a very direct, tangible way, what I must have known...
I read the article, but I also read the comments readers had posted, which were as enlightening and brought some hope. There was only one (Republican-voting)...

Good point Diarmuid. In fact, that is huge reason why people often choose to send their children to independent (private) schools. Unfortunately, these schools...
Although public schools are notoriously red-tape-bound, a word of warning about private schools. They may be independent of public funding, but that not always...

Fiona, Let me pose the question- how would you react if the board members voted in a majority in favor of such a measure? What would you do if there was...
Hi CH, Thanks for your response. My main point about differentiation is that more often than not it is simply a matter of lip service. There is not much point...
Hi Gordon, First off, no I don't think only the right spins the news, which is why I checked it in various places, but there did seem to be a general feeling...
