    "I don't know which side of the fence you are on in regard to inclusive education. And for all intents and purposes…it does not matter. This post could just as easily have been called, No…Really…I'm Not Crazy…Inclusive Education Works! Usually when I talk to people who are not familiar with the idea of having students with disabilities (including significant disabilities) in the general education setting they say they are having a hard time "wrapping their head around it" or want to see "what it actually looks like". So…just for those of you who need to see it to believe it, I have picked out five videos that will most definitely change your mind about whether inclusive education is really a good thing or not (or at least they should)."

Established routines run themselves, they are the well-oiled machines that can make a classroom function."

    "Change is complicated... Instructional coaches can help alleviate some of the burden of change. Instructional coaches are on-site professional developers who teach educators how to use proven teaching methods. Some problems are too big for one teacher... Instructional coaches are partners in the change process. They work one-on-one with teachers to make it easier to adopt the instructional methods that can make a difference to students' success. Instructional coaches are team members, who help pull together and lead the right combination of school staff to reach common goals. Building networks for change in schools... Drawing from lessons learned during nine years of research on coaching, KU-CRL offers Instructional Coaching Institutes to explore issues and ideas related to this popular and effective form of professional development.

    The Connecticut State Department of Education has partnered with the Leadership and Learning Center to provide professional development in Common Formative Assessments. Common Formative Assessments (CFAs) are periodic or interim assessments that are administered to all students in a grade level or course several times during the quarter, semester, trimester or entire school year. Teachers analyze student assessment results in Data Teams to plan and differentiate instruction. Such results provide predictive value as to how students are likely to do on each succeeding assessment in time for teachers to make instructional modifications.

America's Educational Crossroads: Making the Right Choice for Our Children's Future | U... - 0 views

  • Johnson said, “I made up my mind that this Nation could never rest while the door to knowledge remained closed to any American.”
  • I believe every single child is entitled to an education that sets her up for success in careers, college, and life. I believe education cannot and should not be boiled down just to reading and math. I believe the arts and history, foreign languages, financial literacy, physical education, and after school enrichment are as important as advanced math and science classes. Those are essentials, not luxuries. I believe that all students must be held to high expectations for learning, no matter their zip code, race or ethnicity, disability, or whether they are still learning English. I believe that states should always choose those standards, as they always have, and that those standards should align clearly and honestly with what young people will need to know for success in school, in college, and in life.
  • I believe that every single child deserves the opportunity for a strong start in life through high-quality preschool, and expanding those opportunities must be part of ESEA. I believe that every family, and every community, deserves to know that schools are making a priority of the progress of all children, including those from low-income areas, racial and ethnic minorities, those with disabilities, those learning English, and others who all too often, historically, have been marginalized, and underserved, and undereducated. And I believe they deserve to know that if students in those groups actually fall behind, that schools will take action to improve. I believe that no student deserves to be cheated out of an education by being stuck in a school that fails too many of its students, year after year after year. I believe that schools must be a pipeline to opportunity, not to prison.

  • I believe that we should create new incentives to catalyze bold state and local innovation in support of student success and achievement.
  • I believe that every single child deserves fair access to the resources of her school and her district – and access to excellent teachers and principals.
  • I believe all educators and principals need and deserve excellent preparation, support and opportunities for growth that go far beyond what exists in most places today. And I’m pleased to say, you’ll hear more about this when President Obama releases his budget. I believe teachers and principals deserve to be paid in a way that reflects the importance of the work they do – regardless of the tax base of their surrounding community. I believe teachers and schools need greater resources and funds. This year, President Obama's Budget will include $2.7 billion for increased spending on ESEA programs, including $1 billion additional just for Title I. And we will fight to make sure Congress provides more resources as part of any effort to rewrite ESEA. I believe those in low-income schools should have resources and support comparable to that in other schools. Our children and teachers, who need and deserve the most, cannot continue to receive the least. I believe that all teachers deserve fair, genuinely helpful systems for evaluation and professional growth that identify excellence and take into account student learning growth.
  • I believe parents, and teachers, and students have both the right and the absolute need to know how much progress all students are making each year towards college- and career-readiness. The reality of unexpected, crushing disappointments, about the actual lack of college preparedness cannot continue to happen to hard working 16- and 17-year olds – it is not fair to them, and it is simply too late. Those days must be over.

    "These schools are part of ten school networks, each of which has its own set of principles about organizing schools. For that reason, the schools are not the same-there is no one approach to deeper learning. What they share is a commitment to a broader set of outcomes for young people than conventional approaches to schooling provide."

    "raphing Stories is a series of "real world" videos by Dan Meyer and Buzz Math that have a graphing measurements theme. Why in the world would you want to show graphing videos? While that may sound boring, the videos and accompanying graphing worksheet are actually an engaging way to demonstrate these important math concepts. The videos cover topics such as height, distance, time and elevation and students get to see how these math concepts work in their world. The Graphing Stories videos are free to download and as mentioned before, they come with a generic graphing worksheet for you to us"

    "Families of children with Angelman Syndrome often experience stress about whether their child's needs are being met at school. Families are concerned about if their child is receiving enough support to develop strong communication skills, can demonstrate their learning effectively, is forming close friendships with other children, and is being prepared for a meaningful adult life. The Education Strategy Seminar will be a place where all people involved in the care and education of a person with AS can learn, reflect on, and discuss the education of your loved one with AS. Whether your son or daughter is a toddler or an adult, he or she is still on a journey of life-long learning and needs your advocacy to continue his or her education. This Seminar will be divided into four sections to teach families strategies to be more effective advocates for their child with Angelman Syndrome, across the lifespan."

    "When looking for apps for students on the autism spectrum (ASD), it is important to look at all educational apps and not just those that are tagged as autism apps. They have many of the same learning needs that other students have. This list was developed to provide apps based on common learning characteristics and traits that are typical for students with ASD. It is important to remember that all students learn differently and selecting apps should be based on the unique learning needs of the student. This list is only a sampling of apps available for each skill area. This is not, nor is it meant to be a definitive list. This list is intended to give you a starting place and a rationale for picking certain apps."
