Wed, 16 Apr 2008 21:03:26 PDT
The maestro has gone gaucho. Francis Ford Coppola, 68, believes he's finally where he's supposed to be, a place where he can revel in financial and artistic control.

Differentiation of Instruction in the Classroom

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:54:08 PDT
This is an editorial exploration into the birth of the theory and practice of differentiated instuction. I opine that what is claimed to be addressed by this allegedly "new" thinking and pedagogical approach, is neither adequately addressed in most cases, nor new. What would be new is a long-term commitment to it, unswayed by trend, fed by data.

Start small

This weekend’s Life 3.0 column: These days, it seems harder to avoid “green” products than it is to find them. Everything from construction material to accessories (a biodegradable umbrella) and from automobiles to pet products makes being an eco-friendly consumer almost as easy as finding a Dunkin Donuts in the Capital Region.

Sunday Bookchat

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:53:11 PDT
We all know the drill. Some ostensibly left-wing figure — think Christopher Hitchens or Martin Amis — loudly announces he’s given up his liberal ways and goes flouncing off to the right side of the aisle, where his work becomes steadily crankier and less interesting. (David Mamet has just begun this process; several weeks ago he published a column titled “Why I Am No Longer a Brain-Dead Liberal,” a title that proved only half right.)

Checking In

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 06:02:27 PDT
My girls will be back home in a couple three hours: life should be getting back to normal. But this has been a pivotal weekend, a changing weekend: our normal will be different. I've had a couple of epiphanies handed to me, practically on a silver platter. The time to act on these is now. In big news, Tim has gotten the job at the rock quarry: he'll be a stone cutter. He starts on Monday. He's quite excited about it: the job actually seems almost tailor-made for him: a combination of the artist
