NAEP looked at students in private and public school in the 4th and 8th grade and compared the two with and without taking into accout socioeconomic differences.
I really enjoyed this article and definitely agree that students benefit from a private school education. I taught private Kindergarten for two years. The curriculum I taught was on a 1st and 2nd grade level and with the small student-teacher ratio (I had 10 kids max), I was able to work with students one on one and focus on each students weakness area to improve it. Also, at the end of the year, the students had benchmark tests they took and scored well above the percentile compared to other students their same age in the areas of math, reading, social awareness, etc. If financially feasible, I think students especially younger ones greatly benefit from private school. Great selection of article.
This article foucuses on the advantages of state funded Pre K in Georgia compared to other states and the outcome of students who attend Pre-K. The article suggests students do well later in their school careers and have as much advantages as any private programs.

Since 2005, most cases have been favored to those fair use accusations were presented against. With fair use being unpredictable and confusing, the writer attempts to show how the definition of fair use is changing and needs modificaiton.
notebooks can play a powerful role in science investigation” and serve as a
“fantastic assessment tool for teachers
guide them in
interactive science notebook
consolidating student material
compare and contrast the model with the real outdoor space
they own the material
have students process information, learn, and think in a more engaging way
a better chance of remembering and applying new information
personalize their learning
We have been using the interactive notebook as a learning strategy for teachers
in our professional development projects
original representations of student thinking (essay response, concept maps,
diagrams, graphic organizers), the representations produced as the result of
data analysis (charts, graphs), and a date/time stamp on all entries
three essential elements of science notebooks
One challenge teachers face
is when “some students struggle with representing their ideas in written form if
presented with a limited time to do so
This article discusses how interactive notebooks can enhance student learning. It also gives several good examples of how they can be used to assess student progress and understanding.
