Missing ingredient?

Interesting article by Dennis Shirley and Andy Hargreaves of Boston College, entitled "The Persistence of Presentism". Interestingly enough, in their study of 300 improving schools, they found that teachers tended to focus on what some might consider to be "quick fixes", even though they were more collegial and had more opportunities for collaboration within schools and as part of a network. Nice video that gives a quick synopsis of the article (with an advertisement at the end!).
