The 115th Carnival of Education Roundup

The 115th Carnival of Education is live at dy/dan. This week’s entries cover teaching, policy, higher education and more.

This week’s All-Star Team:

• Textbook Evaluator hands a dose of reality to those behind Curriki, a new virtual community for teachers.
• Ms. Q of Teaching in the 21st Century asks, “When Do You Know the Education System is Not Doing Enough for Your Child?”
• Line 46 explains the process of screening candidates for Advanced Placement classes.
• Miss Profe keeps her will when a student behaves unacceptably [this one's a must-read].
• Going to the Mat assesses teacher quality. This is the fourth in a series; to view the previous entries, click ‘Teacher Quality Stats’ on the left column of his site.
• My Wealth Builder, a Princeton alumnus, identifies the three criteria he uses when conducting interviews for prospective Princetonians.

You can read the entire Carnival here, including my submission about the use of cell phones and increased personal technology in schools.

A note from the Wonks, who will host next week’s Carnival:
