long after they graduate, when we teach is education, we are teaching them life skills. it is no different than anything else that we teach in health class. we teach them about heart disease prevention, the chances of becoming involved in abusive relationships in high school are for > them developing heart disease in high school. >> i recall in 1999 when i was attorney-general, we did a film and high school and distributed khthat program e test of persisted. i will take that lesson from you today. >> i was trying to find that tape to see if we could duplicated and handed out to our schools >> in my last

teaching code unit content has continued to fail. the key difference between advantage and disadvantaged students on entering preschools is a difference of knowledge and vocabulary. and the key to the of the school is about to in part knowledge. and in so doing narrowing the gap between the demographic groups. and the gap between where we are now on average and where we were in the 1960's. how did we manage to do well in the 1960's? by world standards the united states has had a good system of the education since the 19th century. in 1835 when alexis de tocqueville published democracy in america he said american educational stripped education both in its abrupt and excellence and also in its reach. he said europe educated the few and chiefly from the private sphere. american common school educated the many to be knowledgeable and literate and hold a strong civic commitments. my first chapter in this new book goes back to how our school tradition got started. it deals with the educational aim of the founders, people like franklin, rus

guest: we should be teaching history.e idea is that we should teach for the test, and the test is breeding. you do not balance. he talked about lincoln and washington. most kids, the only heroes they know our sports heroes. i have a friend who is a great teacher who wrote a book on heroes for kids. if you get up there and preach about things, it is boring, and they figure out you should not be doing that. but if you study people -- other chapters, you can make judgments. kids can make judgments. so taking history out of schools has been an insane thing, and that is one reason achievement has gone down. it is dull. >> good afternoon. it is funny that you mentioned the proposition 13 tax situation. i was excited to getting it going. the reason i'm calling is because when you first mentioned the bering strait, i thought that that must have been my ancestors. and then you mentioned 30 dozen years ago and i thought, no, that is not them. but i have different folks here at my home that i collected, and one of my ancestors were

we first teach ourselves and then teach others. we are teaching what the law means.i open my son's book on aristotle and aesthetics. it says when it was, what is, and what is to be. it reminded me of the judicial function. we write about what was, what happened, what were the facts, whether it was an accident or a crime, a dispute among government officials on a private business -- what was. and then what is, what is the law. and then we write about what is to be. that is the way we teach. this court is a teaching institution when it is at its best. >> what they like most about the job? >> -- what do you like most about the job? >> i had the opportunity to try, in my own way, to teach young people, particularly, but i hope all judges and lawyers and all citizens and to teach myself constantly. the law and freedom and what it stands for only survive if your conscience of what they mean to you, to america, to its heritage. when we rebelled against the english, the world was amazed. americans said, we want freedom. englund said, freedom? these are the most free people y

teaching those critical subjects that they are being asked to teach. the data suggest that this doesn't just isn't a problem in the schools but there's a racial bias element that we have to end knowledge. it is much more difficult for schools even when you account for income factors, it's much more difficult for high minority schools to keep and retain quality teachers. there's a study that suggests it require a 25% to 33% salary boost to get the same effective teachers in the minority -- high minority schools as are in other schools. there's an element there we have to acknowledge that is not just about the faculty of the poor schools, but there is race playing a role and we have to be aware of that. we have to deal with it. most of the majority of schools don't have the advance placement and other classes that are necessary. critically, they often lack a connection to the community that enables them to get the kind of resources they need to address these. it's other people's kids -- schools and so our larger communities don't care about them. and we

we teach economic houses, but wo not teach finance.tives, after being interviewed or having had discussions with our students, say, boy, these guys know more about us than we know about us. our folks ask tough questions in a very polite manner. so there is rigor. point number three, we are still true to our charter. we are still true to being in touch with industry, but we are not adverse to change or growth. we are constantly evolving. icaf provides a strategic environment. german skelton, you are always ask about the comfort -- not all of them are going to be that unique strategic leader, but i think overnight% of my graduates not only can have the conversation with general marshall but can understand that conversation. they can politely challenge him, and they could continue to help him develop his strategic thought. w3in the end, they could capture that thought, but it being clear, conciseñr writing, and communicated to us, something i think is important to our commanders. again, an example of that conversation -- each for the past

i like to think of us as teachers, to first teach ourselves and then teach others. and we're teaching what the law means. i was in one of my son's dormitory room a few years ago in college, i was sitting there waiting, and i opened one of his books -- aristotle's aesthetics, and he gives it vice to playwrights. and he said, you can write about what was, what is, or what it ought to be. it reminded me of the judicial function. we why there -- we were right about what was -- what happened, what were the facts, a dispute among government officials or private business, what happened, what was. and then what is -- but we must also write about what ought to be. because that is how we teach. this court is really a teaching institution when it functions at its best. >> what you like best about the job? >> the best part about the job is that is that i have the opportunity to try in my own way to teach young people particularly, but i hope all judges and lawyers and all citizens, and to teach myself constantly, that a lot and freedom and what it stands for, it only survives i

i am teaching. i'm probably involved with something entrepreneurial. i was talking regularly to him throughout the process, and i think the most impact immediately was that there was enormous amount of stress for him, not only because of all the media attention, i think he was genuinely frustrated by how he had been treated. and following the beer summit, there was a real sense of -- a return to his former self. very jovial. people that do not know him find it hard to understand, he is an incredibly proper guide. said the idea that he was church with disorderly conduct does not add up. so i saw him go from being unsettled to returning to his relaxed and lively self. even though he has been an incredible supporter of mine in the academy, his work has been on literature, and in a selfish way, i am thrilled he has an interest in criminal justice issues. i am interested in why rates of violence very dramatically. you can have two neighborhoods next to each other and one would have a much higher homicide rate than another. the reason i focus on that is not

i often get asked why we are not teaching kids to use microsoft office. the thing that i have to help our parents understand is that you do not succeed in this economy might knowing a certain piece of software. it you can succeed by constantly learning. if i went to a museum with my mother, she would ask how you would do this museum differently. even as a 6-year-old, i was thinking about how i might create -- of the role i would play in redoing an exhibit. my grandparents -- my grandfather was not a greek himself, but he was always giving me educational components. at the heart of it, my parents were always encouraging me to take pleasure in learning. that propelled me to all these experiences. >> which teacher in your life stimulated you the most? >> vet is tough. i have been lucky to have incredible teachers. frank mccord, henry louis gates at harvard, and all of them played a real significant late -- role -- real significant role. i feel an incredible dealt to one teacher that taught me to program. my parents saw that i loved programming and they did n

what we do not do in this country is that we do not teach why is so great. look at any other great democracy or look at monarchies. look at any country in the world and think about -- and i use my family as an example -- i am a great granddaughter of slaves and slave owners. in for generations, my family is at the pinnacle of choice and freedom. my cousin was the secretary of state. in no other country could descendants of slaves have ascended so quickly. was it easy? no. [applause] do we still fight every day? did we have anger? yes, but our anchor has never exceeded our love of this country's credos. it is only in this country, no matter for you come from, where there is at least a path and a common ideology that says that everybody can belong. we are not there. we have not achieved it. we're still achieving the american pluralism. but no other democracy does it as well as we do. it takes generations, but we do it. do we have ghettos? yes. we have indian reservations? yes. like i said, i could write myself a reparations check end do a native american treat

key to the implementation ppis is the recognition that we need to teach and be roscoe's just as we teach academic skills. -- behavioral skills just as we teach academic skills. drs. robert horner and georgia segai of the nationalppis center, offer guidelines. personal established if out -- first, establish intervention that is affected and sustainable. teach good behavior before relying on the rural interventions. -- behavioral interventions. provide support as early as possible and with the intent to meet the needs of students. . . >> the show improved academic outcome as measured by our assessments. and it provides students with the most complex needs. the schools have a reduction in the number of instances of that require intensive intervention, including seclusion and restraint and increase the effectiveness of individual behavior will support plans. illinois data shows that schoolwide, ppbis can have a positive impact on school programs, including a reduction in the use of restraints and separate facilities for students with emotional disorders by more than 50% with the first year.

there are teaching techniques and methodologies that will teach all students and some other methodologies will in fact predictably leave certain people behind. we want to make sure we are not creating an achievement gap even though the technical tangible factors may equal as they were in brown. >> can i mention something to that? thank you for mentioning this pyrrhic there is something i did not indicate. i agree there are 9 legal remedies to a least trying to address this. one of the things that we have in the past is a parental empowerment program which essentially goes into various school districts in order to empower the parents to provide them with the information that is necessary to ensure that they are on top of the child's education. it's not going to the courts, but at least it's providing the necessary education. i can't talk with you more about that afterwards. that is something we are engaging in as attorneys, but because we know how things eventually are going to play out with in the courts, we are trying to get to them before had. that goes to some of the issue you are talk

we study the key learning demand s on pre-schoolers to teach us how to appraoch tough-to- teach topics. we have talked on social relations. we'll talk about a hundred and 20 countries involved in it -- these are amazing projects. it is having an hiv positive muppet in south america to deal with the children that are stigmatized by their fellow children. this is a way of teaching kids through will modeling and television that you can be friends with someone and play with them, not necessarily get sick. it breaks the culture of silence around aids in a country like south africa. we have been working with palestinians. that to do a press conference with the palestinian prime minister in november. he opened up a new studio for our palestinian version of the show in which we're promoting role models for young boys, so they have all models other than rock-throwing older kids. they can become a teacher, a doctor, or other role models to look up to. in egypt, a focus on girls' education or the female population is largely illiterate. they have become a children's store in egypt. they will tell

i love having you guys here and teaching you and potentially in the future beating you.the fact that you are involved in this process is wonderful. my son is also involved in this kind of stuff. i wish he was here today with you guys because this will make a tremendous learning experience for the next couple weeks. ask questions, get their e-mail address. stay in touch with who you want to follow up with. we are all hiring or recommending people. stay in touch with people you like and you want to get to know because in 10 or 15 years just like people before you the next couple days you could be here teaching this class for the next generation of political people coming through town. congratulations on being here in this class. good luck in 2010. i would be glad to take any questions. yes? >> fox news and that kind of thing and how effective the environment and also if you saw anything similar in 2001 on the opposite side? >> there is fox and also msn b.c. effect. it goes both ways. they generate enthusiasm and motivates the base. they don't appeal to the middle. that is

something they can put their teaching, something they can touch. and are less and less willing, simply to accept religious teachings on the authority of someone else. because it says so in a book or because of bishop or a pastor or someone else says it. so if you look around this experience, which also to some extent means a deterrent away from, away from an emphasis on doctrine and dogma, or an emphasis on hierarchy and organization. it's a shift, and i see it everywhere. in all of the traditions that i have just made, it's amazing how global this whole underlying change in the nature of religiousness is. think of one example, for example, in christianity in our own, my own traditions are the fastest-growing way of christianity today is what is called pentecostal charismatic movement, growing especially rapidly in latin america, and asia, in africa. even in china, in mainland china. and this is an expression of christianity in which the direct experience of the spirit often expressed in a very open and explicit way, with movement, with dancing, wi

my first year teaching i was not as good as i am leader.by february or march couldn't wait for the second year to start because i learned so many things not to do and wanted the new class to start over. it's got to be built into professional development. in three to five years you ought to know whether that person ought to be a teacher in the classroom. if they can't or are not willing to learn they shouldn't be in teaching but the idea we don't do that in the first three to five years and then blame a due process system is wrong. we've got to do it, and we are getting at this. the gates foundation is committed about $355 million to do a deep learning experience and for school districts. to develop a teacher evaluation system tied to develop and compensation, the whole thing. one of them is hillsborough florida. one of our merged locals with a hefty. they've already had an experiment paid for test scores that field. it didn't affect achievement so now they are saying what should we do about measuring student learning and teacher evaluation?

>> what other canadian history professors0u teaching that we ae not?i say, we are a better -- very minor player in the world. when canadian history, you are learning the history of everybody else. everything we do is so hopelessly influenced by our larger neighbors and larger allies. you learn a lot about england and you learn a lot of friends and you learn a lot about america and all kinds of other places. this is useful, i think. as a kid, i remember listening to the radio news every night at 6:00 and the thing about the news at 6:00 on the radio in canada is that it is all about the rest of the world. you cannot give a sophisticated account of what happened that day and confine yourself to a country of 8 million. not that much happened of consequence grid i grew up hearing about africa and south america in the news every night. it is very different when you're in a country like america where you actually can't give the news every night and they will talk about america. america is so large and complex and if so at the center of what happens in the wo

the only way that you have is to start people teaching and pick people who are good. this is analogous with what works with quarterbacks. if you look at the history of the nfl team's decisions in drafting college quarterbacks, you'll see that they do not do a good job of figuring out who will be a good pro quarterback or not. it is not because they are stupid or not trying hard enough, but just because the college game is so dramatically different from the pro game. doing good at one does not predict how well you would do at the other. he had a problem with this. i e-mailed him and said why are you so sure that they do a good job of predicting a good quarterback? can you give me your scientific sources? i had an article in the journal of -- an economics journal. he e-mailed me back and his sources were not from a scientific journal at all. they were a blogger and some other blogger. i was like, why are you attacking me? it was meant in good fun. there's nothing wrong with the dustup now on again. >> going back to your first book, when was the malcolm gladwell tipping

supreme court who will teach you is next. and it falls into inslee and i tell you why -- >> host: welcome he did choose robert bork -- >> guest: but not until 87 which made a big difference because by then the senate has flipped democratic. and so, he chooses justice scalia -- teaches is intensely and 86. president reagan, as you know, was enthralled by the first generation story. he liked antonin scalia's telling heritage. he certainly was a conservative equal to robert bork but he presented a little bit of a different tale. and at that time the administration didn't know whether it was going to get any more appointments. this is 86. and justice scalia seemed a lot healthier. i remember telling it means he was a smoker and i said i didn't know he was a smoker. it was robert bork was a smoker and we were worried about his health. so the administration goes with antennas leave. he skates through the process -- >> host: let me stop a minute because that vacancy was created when warren, chief justice warren burger resigned, righ

we were talking about teach for america. but about that many years ago before it started to move all over the country. by doing that, we have social entrepreneurs were coming up with ideas and their communities and getting us the support they need from the private sector and from the government to scale up because we know that the solutions they bring to the table are effected. i said yesterday and this is the last leg i will say, yesterday, we were in new orleans and went to a place called cafe reconcile and that is where you have dropped training, life skills being taught, we are talking about individuals who have some of the toughest stories will ever hear but they see a new way "-- wait for themselves. they are working with faith- based organizations. they are being hired out of the training program they are in to work in the hospitality sector which is coming back and starting to try again in new orleans. those are the kind of programs we see all across the nation that with more help, they can provide some of the soluti

i teach this in my course in american government. we have the first 10 amendments, what we call the bill of rights. and then we have an amendment process. there are those about equal protection, the right to vote, women's suffrage and more. it is irrefutable that the constitution did not include a white women or slaves. there is no questioning that. when you look at the history of the constitution, it was intended for people who were wealthy enough to own land, and the thinking behind that was that those that were healthy enough would be smart enough to run the country. i did not have any problem with that. some of the other stuff, i'm not going to touch that. >> what you think of clarence thomas? >> i think he is someone with a very interesting and commendable personal story treated i'm obviously not on the same side of the fence. personal -- personal story. i am obviously not on the same side of the fence. >> it turns out that he got 95% of the black vote. -- that obama got 95% of the black vote. >> big surprise. >> the biggest in

let's send people who can teach. literacy is under 20%. so teaching people to read would be helpful, building roads, providing better communication from one place to another. and of course that obviously thing, painfully obviously is stopping the corruption. the corruption is unfathomming. how about if i do one more question. then we can all move on? anybody else? yes, sir? >> tonight we're all here to hear about the situation in these countries. there's ascents of a, what can be done, and b, what can we do? on the other side in pakistan and afghanistan specifically because the relationship between them and the west is so complicated right now is there a sense among the population of, especially since they get so much aid from the muslim world and the -- and south asia. is there a menace thatup isn't -- why isn't the west going more? >> i didn't find that. i think it's why does the west always do it the wrong way? it's not so much a question of more or resources. you don't have to go beyond your own community here in the united states to f

and his helpers are teaching the cranes in the migration, and i got go up in an ultralight. and so it was totally, totally fascinating. >> host: whooping cranes went completely extinct in the wild -- >> guest: no. no. the original flock was down to 27. they were summering in a nature preserve in texas, and then they nested somewhere north in canada, but nobody knew where, and all the time the flock was getting less and less, and then one day a helicopter pilot was looking at things, and he saw this white bird with golden colored young, and that's where they were. they were nesting in a park in canada. but this little flock was down to 27, and they were making a 2,000-mile migration, and they were getting less and less. so that is why they needed to start the second group, they had to teach them to migrate, and if they learned from their parents. this was a new route -- an ancient one, but nobody knew it so they trained them to follow the ultralight. bo leslie trained egyptian grease. >> host: that's the black-footed ferrets. >> guest: extinct in the wild, the condor extinct

the president of university uk said that higher education requires further of teaching and learning inparticular. universities need more money, mr. sheeshg. -- speaker. and members who support this motion will deprive them of that. >> when you go and get an education you will get more people more jobs. think that the education is the only way to do this. >> young people, the few young people watching this debate today will see how out of touch and unrealistic that scrapping university fees is. it's not equivocal for students to make a contribution. they stand to gain financially from a degree. education is an investment, and it's irrational for students to borrow at this stage of their life cycle. we should encourage students to be more selective in their courses and discourage students to take mickey mouse degrees. few young people can lead to this sort of stupidity. >> what is the point of busting your hump really over so many years to get grades and doing midnight black coffee sessions and miscourse work. by the time it comes to it, you cannot afford to go to the university. if you

when i teach, i have a slide when i teach my lecture on quality, that i call the zen of quality.orest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound? sort of the same for quality improvement. if we keep working towards it and working towards it and nothing seems to change, is anything happening? i know that there are lots of people working very hard on it. don berwick, many people nationally are working with hospitals to develop guidelines and check list and we have seen some improvement, particularly with things like infection rates, catheters in the i see you, and things like that. -- icu and things like this. generally speaking, there isn't a lot of improvement. in fact, the national agency that measures quality actually says that, you know, we are getting slightly worse every year. partly it that is because we have a sticker and sicker and sicker people going into the hospital. we have more and more medical equipment and technology that we are using. so we are increasing the probability of quality problems. we have a long way to go. there are a lot of people working on this. and i

danny teaches these guys the professional way.eal, spin, and then lob over the top. happen. and maybe it's asking too much looking at the personnel and the limits of that personnel but they need their point guard jerime anderson to penetrate and try to take guys off the double, try to draw defenders so they can kick out the open shots. it's just so tough for these guys to do. >> steve: this is jerime anderson, a talented young man, a sophomore from anaheim canyon high school and a star. but ucla does not have much point guard depth. i know they're recruiting ray mcallen and jones. this is a program that does not have the point guard depth to it. a young man can come in here and play a lot of minutes immediately. >> marques: they don't have the speed and push defense position that they need with sherron collins. they have to know how to get to the gut and create problems for the defense. get those wide open shots for shooters on the outside. they have jerime anderson. he throws the basketball away. >> steve: a pickup and score and

don't you think that this recession has been a good teaching moment at all for some of the people in the united states looking at it in a way that material things are not number one anymore in their lives. thank you very much. >> you know, i've always -- if you watch my show, you always hear me end my show with a statement that goes people first, then money, then things. i think what's happened in the economy has gotten us all to realize there could be tremendous joy in just being with people and valuing things that matter and letting you define the things around you rather than the things defining you. however, with that said, it's a shame that that lesson had to come in the way that it did. it's not right that people don't have jobs. it's not right that millions of people have lost their homes. it's not right that people don't know what to do. good, everyday people that really were inflicted with this one. for many of them it was no fault of their own. so a recession has taught us lessons. i'm so sorry it had to do so, however. >> always good seeing you, suze. thanks again. >> larr
