Many people across the world are celebrating Christmas today. I may not be one of them, but I wanted to just post some links to education articles today. Therefore, I’ve scoured the ‘net (Thanks to NCTE Inbox and ASCD SmartBrief, which helped me with this endeavor!) to find some interesting pieces you might wish to read between church, opening presents, and spending time with your loved ones (or on another day going-forward).
