Attention IDEA Bloggers!
I don't know how to post member bulletins, so I will just make announcement here. I am proposing a new "game" of sorts. It is called Pass the Plate, and is meant to bring us together outside of our own blog sections and posts. The first one is a post that I really want some feedback and ideas on. In light of the common core standards that explains what an individual should know at a certain age, I am looking more into what we can adopt for students at any stage of development. Essentially, I made my own standards that actually provide room for individuality and intellectual diversity, called "Standards of Diversification."
For Pass the Plate posts what you do is make a post that seeks to challenge or brainstorm about alternatives to traditional education practices. I know we all do that already, but what I mean is, if you read your newspaper and see an education policy that's non-democratic, like standards or district polices, or just some ideas about what we can do to make our own policies or such, you can propose alternatives and get feedback from other bloggers. Throwing around enough ideas on policy, I feel that we could have a chance at making our own sturdy policies that people can recognize and bring into effect.
So Pass the Plate posts might take a while to be completed as bloggers notice them and take time to edit them before moving on to something else. Bloggers don't have to spend all their time on editing them, and they don't have to edit the entire post.The posts might close if the board of directors or such wants to take our idea up and work to realize it. All in all, it's just a thing to foster some communication and common ground for members of the site in addition to the awesome opportunities we have. I think the discourse would allow us to get a better picture of where we agree and stand on making long term changes to democratic education to bring to the mainstream.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks, and happy blogging!
