		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had the opportunity to research the effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous groupings in the classroom. Although I agree with most of the research in the articles that I read, I feel that the best way to experience the effects of such groupings is to experience it in the classroom on your own.

We wanted to convey the impact of student, teacher, and parent concerns regarding the relatively recent reform effort to group heterogeneously.  (Also known as &#8220;detracking&#8221;)  The concerns ranged from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the November Presidential Election looms around the corner I have begun to contemplate who I want to be my President, both personally and professionally. The biggest question that pops into my mind with each candidate is can I trust them? Can I trust them to deliver on the promises that they are making on the campaign trail? Can I trust them to not make decisions based solely on flawed political polls? Can I trust them to turn our country around so that our children are not facing the same economic, environmental and educational crises that we are facing today?]]></description>
