After your comment I also did a Google sear...Rick,<br /><br />After your comment I also did a Google search of Diane Senechal. I am far more interested in her own words posted online. While I may disagree with Senechal on many things I am far more critical of the union's inclusion of this particular work of hers in their publication. In particular, even if I disagree with her point of view, is that she does a poor job of defending her positions. While she does throw around a few citations here and there she bases most of her main arguments on statements that begin like, "I once heard..." or they are based in what she considers common assumptions and confuses them with fact. Too many unsubstantiated claims to consider this a high quality piece of academic writing. <br /><br />On the other hand, the other works of Senechal's I found online, especially her writing on the <a href="http://blog.coreknowledge.org/author/diana-senechal/" rel="nofollow">Core Knowledge Blog</a>, is far stronger. In most of those posts it appears she has been more careful to back up her own claims with good evidence. Her case for a strong curriculum is articulated far better in those posts.<br /><br />The problem is, I fear the piece was chosen because many of those unsubstantiated claims, poorly argued points, and transparent biases are a reflection of a large percentage of the union membership. The piece screams "status-quo" while her other work seems not to. The problem with this is, the American Educator was sent to each union member's home while the work she has done that lives up to a higher academic standard does not. The union is essentially, by making this their cover story, supporting writing of this low level of academic integrity and supporting the biases behind it. What impact will this have? How many teachers will read this and not question its logic? Where is the other side of this argument given space in this publication? Daniel Willingham is hardly an author with views far from Senechal's. <br /><br />I find no fault with the work described in those two NY Times articles. She may be a good teacher too. But, what is at issue here is not Diana Senechal but rather the editors of American Educator choosing to run this piece of hers without much push-back. This issue of American Educator in effect draws a line in the sand and sends union members who support and use teaching methods that fall outside the "traditional" umbrella a message that they (indeed I) are not in line with the union position.Carl Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539544230024970483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410712178423501059.post-2809194639373178762010-03-21T13:17:51.489-05:002010-03-21T13:17:51.489-05:00I googled her and found two New York Times referen...I googled her and found two <i>New York Times</i> references that confirm your criticisms, Carl. Not that I consider the <i>New York Times</i> an authority--they're way too complacent--but I'm talking about the facts here. <br /><br />An <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/14/education/14education.html" rel="nofollow">article by Michael Winerip</a> describes how Diana Senechal led her English-language-learner students in a production of <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>, which we know is Western and sequential. How cruel of her to make her students perform--even memorize--a musical play with beginning, middle, and end. Not to mention that it was in English instead of in their languages.<br /><br />An <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/19/opinion/19jacoby.html" rel="nofollow">op-ed by Susan Jacoby</a> mentions that Senechal demonstrated "in inventive fashion" that one can pass some of the New York State tests just by guessing. The implication here is that there's something wrong with being able to pass by guessing! Given how racially and culturally biased these tests are, isn't it only fair that students should be able to guess their way through? Isn't it cognitively imperialist to suggest that those who "know the answer" (<i>Whose answer?</i> one might ask!) should be given a higher score than the others? <br /><br />This proves that you are right and that Senechal is a dangerous proponent of Western sequential and hierarchichal cognitive hegemony. She should be stopped.Rick Unamunonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410712178423501059.post-34183075711473638712010-03-20T19:28:52.514-05:002010-03-20T19:28:52.514-05:00Obviously she has a very different philosophy of e...Obviously she has a very different philosophy of education than I do.
