In the name of closing the achievement gap, entire communities of color in cities
around the
country have seen
classrooms converted to test prep centers,
where the time spent on studying strategies for eliminating wrong answer choices has pushed out inquiry, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, the arts, and culturally relevant pedagogy.
That's why,
around the
country, you see Colleges, Universities, and Teacher Preparation programs adopting blended learning strategies
where students spend less time in a university
classroom, and more time in a
classroom like the one they will soon call their own.
