NCTAF's Cross Generational Learning Team Initiative was the feature of a recent eSchool News article! The article features NCTAF's new project to create learning teams with NASA!
"As an example of NCTAF's vision, NASA scientists and engineers are working with ninth grade earth science teachers in Maryland on project-based learning modules built on NASA education content.
The goal here is to give teachers strong professional development in science content, give students a stronger learning experience, and help NASA employees learn about pedagogy.
One important aspect is that this team approach need not be "just a recruitment effort--it's creating an effective structure, curriculum, and instruction activities, and that's essential for its success," Carroll said."

This is an interesting document produced by 35 Texas Superintendents participating in a Public Education Visioning Institute and the Texas Association of School Administrators. It is called Creating a New Vision for Public Education in Texas: http://www.tasanet.org/files/visioning/visioningfinal.pdf
