Mind-blowing research: Teaching math without words!

noreply@blogger.com (Diego Valderrama) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 18:43:00 +0000

This video blew my mind! It is exciting to see applicable research about how to teach without language. The fact that it was applied and it worked was even more exciting. The most exciting was how teaching without language actually improved language learning!

Pro-sports and Education

noreply@blogger.com (Diego Valderrama) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:00:00 +0000

The poor state of affairs of public finances is forcing the State to cut another $980 from the budget, with the majority affecting children and those with disabilities. I fail to understand how, in this time of tight resources, public governments still manage to approve enormous public subsidies to build arenas for pro-sport teams (for example, Santa Clara $150m and the backing of a big loans for a new stadium for the 49ers). Apparently, experts in public education and public fiances agree. While society's promise to children keeps on being shortchanged and postponed (at a large cost), the subsidies to professional sports (both in terms of direct subsidies and foregone tax revenue from the loans) keep on going strong.

So Discouraging... cuts to developmental related services in California

noreply@blogger.com (Diego Valderrama) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:07:00 +0000

Today, the Sacramento Bee published a list of departments that would face additional triggered budget cuts. People with disabilities are hit hard. Cuts to programs that directly serve people with disabilities represent about half (45%) of the $980 in additional cuts:

Department of Developmental Services. Savings: $100 million
In-Home Supportive Services. Savings: $101.5 million
Elimination of school bus service (affecting children with disabilities). Savings: $248 million.

Additionally, the schools will suffer through an additional $79.6 million in savings. Many children with disabilities are only able to enroll in public schools because private schools regularly discriminate against them. (Talk about a market failure!)

I understand that money does not grow on trees. The recent crisis highlights the need of the government to concentrate its resources on fewer areas. And it is up to society to decide what those key areas will be. The decision making process is broken. As a result, this society has chosen, almost by default and without a frank analysis and discussion, to spend a larger share of its precious resources incarcerating a large portion of its members instead of lending a helping hand to those who need it most. So sad!

From the Blogosphere: Retention v. Social Promotion

noreply@blogger.com (Diego Valderrama) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:41:00 +0000

Great article by Charles Fox considering the alternative of retention versus social promotion for children struggling in school. Neither alternative appears to improve learning or success.

Retention v. Social Promotion

via Special Education Law Blog by Charles Fox on 11/18/11

A mother in the Bronx is arguing against the social promotion of her 11-year-old son with special needs because she believes he is not ready for 6^th grade. What the mother is asking for seems reasonable—if her son has failed to master 5^th grade work, why would he be able to do 6^th grade work? (1) Yet, the school's desire to socially promote the student is unusual. But is the alternative, grade retention, a more viable option?

Social promotion became popular in the 1970s due to fears that its alternative; namely, retention, led to issues with self-esteem for those students who were "flunked" a grade. However, social promotion fell into disfavor in the 1980s with the recognition that students who were receiving high school diplomas were ill-prepared for either college or work. Social promotion went on to became a political issue when President Clinton, in his 1999 State of the Union Address, declared that, "No child should graduate from high school with a diploma he or she can't read. We do our children no favors when we allow them to pass from grade to grade without mastering the material."

Retention, the practice of having students repeat a year of school, occurs frequently. And with the increase of minimum competency tests—the so-called high stakes testing schools districts are using in response to No Child Left Behind—it is only increasing. It is unclear exactly how widespread retention is. Studies from the 1990s indicate that as many as 15% of students in the United States are held back each year, and 30 to 50% of students are retained at least once by the time they reach high school. The economic costs of retention are huge—estimated to be 13 billion dollars a year. But in addition to costs, and perhaps more importantly, we need to consider exactly which students are being retained. Students who are male, represent a minority, are poor, or non-native speakers are retained a disproportionately higher rate than their peers.

Does retention help improve academics? Data are clear and convincing that retention is a bad idea. Any academic gains students experience dissipate after two or three years, and students who are retained suffer greater emotional and behavioral problems than their poor performing, but not retained, peers. Fears of retention in fact can be crippling to students. A study from the 1980s indicated that 6^th-grade students feared only two things more than retention: death of a parent and blindness. By 2001 when the study was repeated, students' fear of retention surpassed the fear of death of a parent or blindness. Perhaps it is then not surprising that researchers consider retention the single greatest predictor of whether a student will drop out of high school; retained students are 2 to 11 times more likely to drop out of school than their poor academic achieving peers who were promoted.

What about students with special needs? It appears that children with mild learning disabilities are frequently retained prior to being identified as having special needs. In an Indiana study, researchers found that 58% of all students with learning disabilities were retained prior to being identified, double the rate of non-LD students, suggesting that at least in Indiana, retention is being used as a remedial intervention. Another group of researchers found that a staggering 72% of students were retained at least once before being referred for special education services. These are a lot of different numbers based on a lot of different data, but they are important given that the dropout rate for students with learning disabilities is estimated to range from 42 to 54%. How much are retention policies leading to this high dropout rate?

Overall, hard data are unavailable to indicate how many students on IEPs are actually retained. The 1995 Census Bureau data indicated that more than one-third of students on IEPs were retained. However, the rate of retention among students on IEPs is unclear due to poor data collection by states. One group of researchers is urging that grade retention data be added to the mandated reporting procedures for school districts under IDEA.

The evidence is overwhelming that retention fails to improve academics, yet many teachers and parents believe that it will help struggling students. Anita Sakowicz in 1996 called retention a clear example of "poor communication between practice and research." Furthermore, the American Federation of Teachers in 1997 concluded that neither social promotion nor retention benefits children. An AFT report "Passing on Failure" delineates several reasons for student failure: "immaturity, weak curriculum and instruction, excessive absenteeism, lack of effort, failure of teachers and administrators as well as parents to use practices that promote high achievement, and failure due to a combination of factors listed above." This list of "blame" for poor performance is interesting, because it "reframes the issue as a failure of school curriculum and instruction, and less as a failure of individual students." (2)

Numerous researchers have proposed alternative strategies to help schools develop better programs for struggling students. Linda Darling-Hammond states that the best predictor of academic success is teacher competence. Children need effective teachers if they are to learn. Thus schools need to enhance teacher development through teacher networks and mentoring of less experienced teachers with more experienced teachers. Darling-Hammond also recommends redesigning schools to create smaller class sizes, block periods, and remaining with teachers for multiple years (looping). (7) Other researchers recommend creation of smaller schools and use of multiage classrooms, where a student can move to the next grade for material he has mastered and receive remediation with the lower grade in areas in which he struggles. In addition, schools need to develop clear standards, which can check the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, as well as provide reliable data on student progress. Schools need to use multiple assessments to evaluate students rather than relying on a single test for a retention decision.

All these ideas about restructuring schools and developing standards and new curriculum to help students avoid academic failure may be wonderful, but they may not now be available for your child. So come spring and the school wants to discuss with you the possibility of retaining your child for the following year, what should you do? First, try to find out why your child has failed. If your child has not already been identified with a special need, request a case study evaluation to determine where the breakdown in learning for your child is. Make sure your child is assigned a strong, experienced teacher—don't settle for the new kid on the block. Will the school start response to intervention (RTI) for your child? Make sure you understand how your child's progress is being monitored and stay on top of it (you don't want to find out come next spring that your child has lost further ground rather than begun to catch up). Ask about multiage classrooms or looping your child with a known, strong teacher. And don't forget, any additional academic support, such as tutoring, extended day/after school programs, extra help periods, Saturday classes, and summer school, can be made available to struggling students who have been promoted. They're not just for students who have been retained.

The Americans with Disabilities Act: Your Child's Rights in Child Care and After School Care

Children both with and without disabilities need and deserve quality inclusive child care. For children with disabilities, however, this can be a challenge. Child care and after school providers don't always understand their responsibilities under the law and families don't always know their rights. This training will give parents and families an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law that prohibits discrimination and requires accommodations for children with disabilities. It will provide real world examples of how to successfully include children with disabilities in care and there will be time for questions to address any specific concerns.

Inclusive Schools Week 2011: December 5-9

noreply@blogger.com (Diego Valderrama) — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 22:39:00 +0000

I fully support full inclusion at all schools. Not just because it is mandated (by law, by the different school districts) but because it is the right. Children should be taught in a diverse environment with their peers. Our wonderful experience with the wonderful work at some schools in San Francisco (San Francisco Family Development Center, Las Americas Child Development Center) reinforces this view.

From the Inclusive Schools Network

Inclusive Schools Week is an annual event sponsored by the Inclusive Schools Network (ISN) at Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), which is held each year during the first week in December. Since its inception in 2001, Inclusive Schools Week has celebrated the progress that schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, including students who are marginalized due to disability, gender, socio-economic status, cultural heritage, language preference and other factors. The Week also provides an important opportunity for educators, students and parents to discuss what else needs to be done in order to ensure that their schools continue to improve their ability to successfully educate all children.
