Over-tested and held back: California eases rules for students learning English is from The LA Times. I’m not convinced this move is as great as many are saying – I’m not convinced that this part: “Students who leave the program will be monitored for four years, a safety net meant to keep students who still need help with English skills” is going to be implemented.

I like this idea of “Waterfall Reading” and think it could support reading fluency for ELLs and English-proficient students alike.

You can read more about it at Edutopia, and I’ve embedded a short video about it below.

I’m adding this info to The Best Resources On Reading Fluency (Including How To Measure It).

Jay Wright had four core values at Villanova. But the real key was how he implemented them is an interesting NY Times article about the former Villanova basketball coach.

It highlights what he considered his four core values when he was coaching.  He says after each game the coaching staff would assign point value for each one for each player.

I wouldn’t do that in the classroom, but I think if you substitute “learn” for the word “play” in most of these, it would work for the classroom, and I’d have students do a self-evaluation each week on how they did:

1. Play hard.

“We wanted to play hard every time we stepped on the floor.”

2. Play together.

“We wanted to think of each other and think about how our actions affected each other.”

3. Play smart.

“We wanted to learn how to get better every day.”

4. Play with pride.

“We wanted to have pride in our program and play for the name on the front of our jerseys, not the back.”

I think that could make for a very impactful reflective exercise.

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:

“It is perfectly honest to say, ‘I chose a private school because I want the best for my kid, but it is also true that private schools are bad for society and do more to reproduce inequality than to remedy it.

The great challenge of teaching is not to transmit information—machines do that cheaply now—but to engineer those moments of genuine understanding reliably enough that students come to crave them.

“I was so unsettled that I called almost everyone I knew with ties to A.I. for a sanity check,” he writes. “Unfortunately, almost no one was reassuring.”

AI doesn’t have to hate us to kill us. When humans build a skyscraper, we don’t hate the ants—but the excavator still destroys the anthill.

About 73 percent of U.S. teachers strongly or somewhat support setting a maximum amount of time that students can spend on school-issued devices during the school day…

The country is almost certainly dirtier, poorer, less prosperous, and in some ways less safe than in 2024. But that’s not because of Democrats or immigrants. It’s because of the people currently running the place. They’re really hoping you’ll blame someone else.

The targeted tools, such as Khan Academy’s Khanmigo and Quill, a writing app, produced the most consistent and strongest learning experiences, they found. I’ve been a longtime fan of Quill!

When it comes to the education of Black children in this country, there is nearly always going to be a struggle. It’s just a matter of which one.

Universities love to trumpet teaching, but do little to fund, support, or *incentivize* that work.

We have no reason to believe a sudden shift to a phonics-based curriculum will significantly affect reading outcomes in this country.

A tool created with the sincere goal of enhancing our respect for animals could end up having the opposite effect by turning them into playthings that we can pester and control.

In Hazrat’s view, the greatest changed-the-world punctuation mark of all time is the space. 

Probably a safe bet

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.

I think many teachers are familiar with the Jigsaw instructional strategy.

Not everyone, though, might know the difference between applying it “cooperatively” and applying it “collaboratively.”

We wrote about the difference between the two concepts in our book Navigating The Common Core With English Language Learners.

Today, I gave a short presentation on how applying those two perspectives to the jigsaw, and thought that readers might find it interesting.

Memorials abound on the fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and in parts of the United States on Monday, Sept. 30. The federal holiday in Canada became official in 2021.

Also known as Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a somber, vital time for relatives and friends who want to keep children in their hearts.
