  • I decided to talk about this topic because it relates a lot to the course I am taking at the University of Akron

      I'm glad you made this connection. Can talk more about how Crowd Learning relates to our course? What are we doing in class that makes you feel this way?
  • Crowd learning is a fast growing way for people to become quickly educated on a specific topic
  • A teacher’s role is to help guide them in figuring out what their needs are and providing them with support.

Why a Third Grade Reading Guarantee on Its Own Won't Help Ohio Children | StateImpact Ohio - 0 views

shared by Kristen Niedermeyer on 22 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • But the researcher who wrote a report the Kasich administration cites in support of the proposal says that without other changes and perhaps more money for schools, the third-grade reading guarantee is unlikely to leave children better off.
    • Alexandria McNicholas
      Alexandria McNicholas on 22 Oct 13
       
      I agree that several changes need to be made for this to work successfully across the state. I do not know if just more money will help.
    • khjones85
      khjones85 on 23 Oct 13
       
      I thought it was important to note that the states with similar laws have had more success if they've have closely monitored class size and personalized help for struggling students. If more money means that we can have smaller class sizes or more resources with which to teach students in the classroom, that's obviously a huge help. However, I agree with you that money alone isn't going to make the difference.
    • Alexandria McNicholas
      Alexandria McNicholas on 24 Oct 13
       
      khjones85 you make a very good point which I did not think about.
    • Kelsey Johnson
      Kelsey Johnson on 26 Oct 13
       
      How do they make sure the money would go to the schools that really need it and in the correct way? My school for example has been in continuous improvement for at least 5 years. Instead of helping us though by giving us more support in the classroom, the state spends money on just sending people to tell us how to do more testing. To me this is not preparing us for the third-grade guarantee.
    • Heather Armstrong
      Heather Armstrong on 27 Oct 13
       
      Kelsey, that is an extremely good point. In many districts, teachers need more support regarding what to do after testing. Too much assessing takes away from instruction and interventions needed for student growth.

      There needs to be a school and home connection to make sure they are reading and improving themselves.
    • Kelsey Johnson
      Kelsey Johnson on 26 Oct 13
       
      I agree katiemarie. My school gets very little support from parents at home and without that connection how can we make this guarantee effective?
  • The report looked at a national database of nearly 4,000 students born between 1979 and 1989 and found that students who do not read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school by age 19 than students who can read proficiently.

    • Kristen Niedermeyer
      Kristen Niedermeyer on 27 Oct 13
       
      Interventions need to begin before third grade. Teachers with a room of 26 students need assistance meeting the needs of below leveled readers.  Teachers who follow the RtI process try interventions for weeks without getting to intense interventions for some students.
  • he commission says that while retention policies may generate “a sense of urgency for improving early reading proficiency, similar improvements in student achievement might well be achieved through identification and intervention — without the need for retention.”
  • Karen Koontz on 27 Oct 13
     
    Our class sizes continue to grow and I feel this is detrimental to the learning of students, especially those who are struggling. I agree that we need smaller classes and more support both from parents and for more intervention time. I also feel that parents should not be allowed to override the schools suggestion to retain a student in kindergarten.

  • While many states and districts devote a great deal of time and resources to developing SLOs, few think about creating a technology infrastructure or managing the tasks that must be accomplished to implement thousands of SLOs with fidelity.
  • districts must manage, analyze and report on hundreds or thousands of unique assessments.

      I agree with you that this goal seems like such a stretch for a district to accomplish. It would be nice to see what the plan is for achieving this goal.
  • To ensure pre- and post-assessments are compatible and aligned for growth, an SLO technology platform should allow educators to easily view assessments and their attributes side by side, match items based on content and rigor, and apply or customize growth algorithms.

      I could also incorporate a real world problem and have the students create different solutions to solve it. This would allow for them to research the problem and think of diff ways to solve it. Then they could apply it to a challenge they might be facing to get more info before making a decision.

    • Annaliese Fedorchak
      Annaliese Fedorchak on 27 Oct 13
       
      I completely agree with you! A new system needs developed that meets standards while achieving student success appropriately. One size does not fit all! The indications and complexities of this Reading Guarantee seem unclear and inconsistent. Just like teachers need to plan in order to successfully provide meaningful instruction to meet a goal...I believe politicians needed to map out this 'plan' and devise a transition from teaching state standards to common core.... With all these changes and requirements there is just too much instability. I mean there aren't even Common Core aligned Language Arts reading series for the curriculum.
  • As written, the law permits third graders who simply don't take the test to be promoted, regardless of proficiency, StateImpact reports. That loophole has led parents in other states that have the same law keep their kids home on test days.

      Kelsey, I agree with you! I think that may be a case currently in schools, where the parents keep their children home during testing. But now there is a case-in-point to omit their struggling reader from the test in attempts to beat the system. However, the person they will be hurting most is the child.
  • Karen Koontz on 27 Oct 13
     
    I agree, Kelsey. There are pros and cons to holding students back. Just pushing them through sets them up for failure. Research shows that retained students have a very high dropout rate too. I think the answer is far more intervention in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade. I also feel that students who are not "ready" for Kindergarten should be required to attend a preschool program even if it is funded by the district.We need to set our students up for success!
  • amyvarney on 27 Oct 13
     
    This is why they had trouble putting the reading guarantee in effect the past two times they tried to do it. I agree that this is not the way to have third graders succeed. It stresses them out and they should find an alternative route.
