How third grade reading skills and poverty influence high school graduation

"A study to be released this morning at the American Educational Research Association convention here in New Orleans presents an even earlier warning sign: A student who can't read on grade level by 3rd grade is four times less likely to graduate by age 19 than a child who does read proficiently by that time. Add poverty to the mix, and a student is 13 times less likely to graduate on time than his or her proficient, wealthier peer."

"Our brains, it turned out, take much longer to develop than we had thought. This revelation suggested both a simplistic, unflattering explanation for teens' maddening behavior-and a more complex, affirmative explanation as well."

I'm Dan Meyer. I taught high school math between 2004 and 2010 and I am currently studying at Stanford University on a doctoral fellowship. My hobbies include graphic design, filmmaking, motion graphics, and infographics, most of which have found their way into my practice in some way or another. My specific interests include curriculum design (answering the question, "how we design the ideal learning experience for students?") and teacher education (answering the questions, "how do teachers learn?" and "how do we retain more teachers?" and "how do we teach teachers to teach?").

Thinking Maps, developed by Dr. David Hyerle, are visual teaching tools that foster and encourage lifelong learning. They are based on a simple yet profound insight: The one common instructional thread that binds together all teachers, from pre-kindergarten through postgraduate, is that they all teach the same thought processes.

In this paper, we discuss the implications of ―college and career‖ readiness for students with significant cognitive disabilities, i.e., those students who take their state's respective alternate assessment on alternate achievement standards, who typically make up less than 1% of all students. We first briefly describe the population of students with significant cognitive disabilities. Secondly, we describe what is meant by ―college and career ready‖ for all students, as well as the Common Core Standards that underlie the concept of ―college and career ready‖. Third, we consider the extent to which those standards are appropriate for students with significant cognitive disabilities (SCD) within the context of a) ―college readiness‖ and b) ―career readiness‖. In the final section of this paper, we offer goals that states may wish to consider in planning outcomes for students with SCD to be college and career ready.
