      So true, especially at the MS age.
  • we need to develop ways of integrating gaming and learning

      I agree. How can we make gaming in the classroom more legitimate? Do you think parents think that you are wasting valuable instruction time?
  • Most educators will agree with that there is a similarity between the skills you need to succeed in schools and needed for games.  These include problem solving skills, attention to detail, creativity, and persistence

      Very nice comment and a great way to back up your previous statement!

  • “game environments enable players to construct understanding actively, and at individual paces, and that well-designed games enable players to advance on different paths at different rates in response to each player’s interests and abilities, while also fostering collaboration and learning”
  • parents and teachers have many concerns including aligning games with content standards, an unfamiliarity with the games, designing assessment tools, lack of research-based methods, and the cost of equipment and other resources

      Nice overview of the counter point.
  • What message are we sending our students in regards to technology if our classrooms do not mirror the rest of the world.

      You raise an excellent question here, and it is a question, so it needs a ? at the end.

  • Some key points from the new requirement include: All K-3 students will undergo annual diagnostic tests to determine reading ability; If a student is not on track to read at grade level, the school district must create a reading improvement and monitoring plan that details the student’s reading deficiencies, describes needed interventions and includes parents in the improvement plan;

      I moved this summer from a state that doesn't have a Third Grade Guarantee.  I know when first moving here, I did a lot of research trying to find out the essential information.  This provides a very good summary for teachers and I like the fact that there is a link to more information.
  • Unless students are exempted for reasons stated in law, those who have not reached grade-level reading by the end of the third grade will be retained; and

      How is it decided which students are exempted and which ones are not? Is there a fair way to do this or will it be a thin line?

      Students on IEPs are exempted and students on 504 plans may also be exempted.
  • Students who are retained will continue to receive intensive remediation, including at least 90 minutes of reading instruction daily.

  • If the student remains in the third grade, the school must provide a high-performing reading teacher and 90 minutes of reading instruction each school day.
  • Resources to provide parents with the tools and information to help their children learn to read and develop other skills to succeed.
  • Except for students with special circumstances, students must meet a minimum score on the state reading test to move on to the fourth grade.

      Not sure I agree with placing so much on a State standard test.

      I like how they break it down for the parents to understand all of the information. It also gives multiple additional resources.

      Helpful links give parents an idea of what they can do that really works in the way of helping their children get to where they need to be.
  • read-along nonfiction builds phonemic awareness; develops phonics decoding skills; and strengthens vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension, all while introducing children to a world of knowledge and exploration. Many of the nonfiction titles cover STEM and social studies standards. Lexile scores are included.

    I agree with Alexandria. There are a lot of people who are NOT test takers. If a child has a bad day, fails the test, even if they know that material, then they are at risk to being retained? Doesn't seem fair.
