This report is a lesson analysis of two education courses offered by the University of Regina in Canada and developed and delivered by Dr. Alec Couros, a University of Regina faculty member.

Did I say there was going to be only one "battleground Senate races" post? Er, I meant there's going to be two... In the meantime, just a quick aside before delving into the post -- I had meant to offer my thoughts on Obama's move to the "center," but really they're not worth a post of their own.

Want to help your students develop a love of reading? Try a little classroom conversation about books Talk about books is often overlooked in classrooms, and even when it's not ignored, it's often limited in scope. The teacher asks a question, a student provides an answer and often that's it. There's a better way, however. I've found that meaningful talk about books not only helps students learn to read, but also helps them learn to love reading.

Work and family are organically linked by the people who split their days between home and workplace. Inevitably, there are conflicts between these two worlds, and the way we manage those conflicts determines the health of our society.
