Congratulations to the students and staff at Pocatello Community Charter School (PCCS) in Pocatello, Idaho. The school and its program of Expeditionary Learning (EL) were recently featured in the Idaho State Journal article, “Pocatello Community Charter School students experience expeditionary learning.” According to the Journal, “If people really learn best by doing, the students at Pocatello Community Charter School are on their way to becoming little Einsteins.”

Using test scores as a means to measure teacher effectiveness has been at the forefront of this effort in recent years, but seems to be falling out of style. With being able to distinguish the good from the bad still a real and immediate need, attention is now turning to classroom observations.
