I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up. So I’ve started writing a “round-up” of some of them each week or every other week as a regular feature.

You can see all my “Best” lists related to education research here.

Here are some new useful studies (and related resources):

The role of teacher characteristics for instructional quality: A meta-analysis

Metacognition works in language learning, but what does that say about education research?

Assessing the Academic Mobility on Test and Non-Test Outcomes for Students from Third Grade Through High School

Screen Time as a Scapegoat is from From Experience To Meaning.

Review of Inclusive Education Practices For Learners With disabilities.

The Nineteen Amendment was certified on this day in 1920.

I’ve just revised and updated The Best Resources For Learning About Women’s Suffrage.

To help build a sense of community in my distance learning classes, one of the activities I did with them was Jason Reynolds’ Frame A Special item lesson I found at Facing History.

It went very well.

However, it wasn’t until this week that I found out that it was just one of many videos and activities that he made for The Library of Congress this year, and they look great!

You can find them all at his “Write. Right. Rite.” Series.

Many, if not all of them, look like they could be used by teachers to engage students in thinking, writing and sharing.

Here’s one example:

I thought readers might, or might not, find this new regular post useful.

Each week, I highlight several sentences, with links to their sources, that I find interesting/concerning/useful.  And they may, or may not, be directly connected to education.  I may also include my own comments or related links.

This regular post will join my other regular ones on teaching ELLs, education policy, Artificial Intelligence, infographics, and Pinterest highlights, not to mention sharing of my regular Education Week posts.

Here are this week’s sentences:

There’s not going to be a program, an app, a curriculum, a test, a gadget, a chatbot, an algorithm that is going to “fix” children because children aren’t little machines you can tinker with until you’ve optimized their engines.

Anytime you hear the label “the science of…” — like, say “the science of reading” (or “computer science” or “political science”) — you should recognize you’re being marketed a kind of scientism that not only wants to elevate the field or practice to the realm of Real Knowledge but denigrate competing practices as “folk” or “bunk.”

In my many conversations with students over the last several years, they have consistently expressed a desire to learn, but also convincingly argued that often the systems they are working within do not seem to value learning for its own sake. The most important capacity we should be fostering students is agency, the ability to make choices consistent with their own interests and goals. 

Accordingly, “the core challenge of managing our limited time” is figuring out “how to decide most wisely what not to do, and how to feel at peace about not doing it.”

Never coach a person for who they are today; push them to who they should be someday.

Dylan Wiliam, an emeritus professor of educational assessment at the UCL Institute of Education, said: “Technology may well be harming student achievement but the correlational studies that we currently have cannot support such causal claims. “And there are many well-designed studies that show that technology can have a positive impact on student achievement. So the question, ‘Does edtech have a negative impact on learning?’ does not have a simple yes/no answer: sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t. “The question we need to be asking is, ‘when does edtech help learning?’ And the answer is, ‘it’s complicated’.”

When you see a school district put out guidance saying “Fridays are screen-free, that’s an instance of them trying to make decisions based on [concern] about technology in the classroom, instead of helping an individual [teacher] figure out how can we be more intentional about using screens.

When Cassady Tondorf, 17, learned how chatbots produced writing, she realized their utter lack of originality. “The entire internet is open to it,” she said. “It’s just regenerating the same things, over and over.”

I think that teaching another human being how to do something—that is one of the highest and best expressions of humanity that there is.

Research has found that fiction is linked to better social cognition — our ability to think about and interact with other people — and an increased understanding of the world as a complex place.

What Head Start’s English-Only Rule Could Mean for English Learners is from Ed Week.

Every year, my Beginning/Intermediate English Language Learner class begins as a pretty stressful experience for me.

I’m never really sure what level of English-proficiency my students will have – state English test scores are notoriously useless, and the pandemic eliminated the tests even being given in the spring.

Every year I have to have a number of alternative plans for the class based on proficiency levels and, this year, on top of that, I had to have strategies in place on how to teach them all online (our district’s “standard” ELL textbook has an online set-up that can be said to have a lot to be desired).

Two weeks into the year, I now know what my plan needs to be.

For example, I’ll be able to use a lot of my unit on story (see Here’s My Entire ELL Beginners Seven-Week Unit On Writing A Story (Including Hand-outs & Links) ).  But I think I need to start with a story that has a more complex text than the book I usually use (The Story of Ferdinand).

I’ve been asking for suggestions on social media, and have gotten a lot of good ones.

However, to get started, just to make things easier on me, I decided to find a book on Epic! since our district is broke (see A BEGINNING LIST OF THE BEST RESOURCES FOR LEARNING ABOUT OUR SACRAMENTO DISTRICT’S FINANCIAL FIASCO), and I’m just up to figuring out how to get actual books to our students.

I found a good one, The Princess and the Warrior: A Tale of Two Volcanoes.

Then, I began searching for high quality teaching materials that have already been created for the book.

And I found Teaching Books.

I still can’t believe I had never heard of it before.

The free site has tons of teaching materials for many books, and the ability for teachers to easily modify any of them for posting to Google Classroom.

And, it’s been around for years!

I’m adding this info to The Best Sites For Learning To Write A Story.

The National Archives has a collection of eighteen different sheets that can be used by students for analyzing primary sources, including versions specifically made for use with ELLs.

The worksheets could also be used with non-primary sources, and include ones targeting maps, documents and photos.

I’m adding  them to The Best Resources For Using Primary Sources.

What educator hasn’t been hearing about the Science of Reading over the past few years?

Its ubiquitousness has created lots of opportunities for helpful and harmful discussions about reading instruction.  And there certainly has not been enough attention paid to some of the unique needs of English Language Learners.

I have accumulating general resources on the Science of Reading, along with specific ones related to ELLs, at The Best Resources For Learning About Balanced Literacy & The “Reading Wars” for many years.

I thought it was time to create a separate list focused solely on its implications for ELLs:

Most teachers are familiar with The NY Times Learning Network (years ago, I did a lengthy series of posts for them on teaching English Language Learners).

They offer an ambitious writing curriculum for teachers to use.

There are a lot of options.

If you talk to teachers, their Tiny Memoir one is probably their most popular unit.

They are also preparing to share a Writing and Creating in the Age of A.I. – I’d bet that one, too, will be one used by many educators.

I’m adding this info to Best Posts On Writing Instruction.

Readers may or may not know that I post two-or-three times a month at another blog called Engaging Parents In Schools.

They are mainly resources, and I also have a collection of related parent engagement “Best” lists (some which I need to update).

I started the blog years ago to support my first book, Building Parent Engagement In Schools.

We’ve submitted the manuscript for the third edition of The ESL/ELL Teacher’s Survival Guide!

Look for it early next year.

The first two editions have sold over 50,000 copies, which seems pretty wild to me (The ELL Teacher’s Toolbox has sold over 70,000 copies, which is even wilder).

The second edition was about forty percent different from the first one, and this third edition will be about thirty percent different from the second one.

I think teachers will find it very helpful!

You can access tons of free resources from the previous editions, including hundreds of student hand-outs, here.

There’s often discussion about if English Language Learners are best served through being taught in separate classes or being integrated into predominantly English-proficient classes.

Like many questions in education, there isn’t really one correct answer.

Much of the research suggests that elementary age ELLs should be integrated into English-proficient classes and provided extra support, and that older Newcomers and Intermediates should be supported in separate classes for a year or two, and then transitioned into English-proficient classes.

I can’t speak much to what’s happening in the elementary grades, other than a fair number of teachers tell me their schools don’t provide much extra support.

In my high school experience, since so many of our students had interrupted schooling, staying in ELL classes for two, three, and, sometimes, four years worked best for them (especially since high schools have a legal obligation to provide them with a path to graduation), though they always also had at least some integrated classes (PE, Spanish, Art, Theater).

Of course, with the Trump administration immigration policies, fewer schools are likely to have the critical mass necessary to have separate classes.  So I suspect more and more newcomers will be parachuted into English-proficient ones without much support.

Here are some resources sharing what research suggests:

Is Grouping English Learners the Right Approach? What New Research Says is from Ed Week.

How should ELLs be grouped for instruction? is from Colorin Colorado.

No Benefit to Segregating English Learners is from Language Magazine.

Do separate language classes help refugee children succeed in school? is from From Experience To Meaning.

There has been, and I’m sure there will continue to be, discussions about the most appropriate term to use when describing English Language Learners.

I continue to use ELLs because it is still the most widely used and recognized term, and I don’t necessarily see the word “learners” through a deficit lens.

But I might very well change my mind in the future.

Here are thoughtful commentaries on the topic:

ELL? EL? EB? MLL? CLD? How Labels Help — and Hurt — Students is from Stephen Fleenor.

An Asset-Based Approach to Multilingual Learner Terminology is from IES.

Geocards is an interesting map tool.

I’m adding Fake Threads Post Generator to The Best Tools For Creating Fake “Stuff” For Learning.

This is from Wonder Tools:

Craft is a surprisingly useful, underrated tool for creating and organizing notes and documents. Use it to develop attractive lesson plans, student handouts, syllabi, or collections of resources.

How to use it: Organize materials into neat visual cards students or colleagues can click to explore. Add text, images, links, or tables to your documents. They’ll be more visually appealing than Microsoft Word or Google docs, or Apple Notes.

Sharing Craft docs: It’s easy to share Craft docs publicly or privately with a link, or export them as PDFs or Word docs. You can even transfer content directly to Ulysses, Bear, iA Writer, Day One, or other tools. I find it easier to use than Notion, Coda, or other pro tools I like, and I prefer the look of the shared docs.

Example — see how it looks: Here’s a Lesson Planning Resource I made with Craft to illustrate how you can use it for handouts and guides. It has subpages that hold PDFs, notes, docs, lists, and various other content.

Other features: Craft has a remarkably good mobile app for designing and viewing full docs. And while docs are private by default, you can now enable collaborative or even public editing, so people can work together on a project.

Pricing: Craft is free with a content limit, or $6/month for unlimited use.

Bottom line: Consider Craft as a new, flexible place to make, organize, and share docs, especially if you’re drowning in scattered teaching materials.

I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up.
