If you are a secondary public school principal, you are invited to participate in a study exploring the behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs of middle and high public-school principals regarding the use of student voice as part of doctoral research at Notre Dame University of Maryland. This survey should take approximately 6 minutes to complete. Survey data will be used in a larger research study to determine how secondary principals use student voice and how this strategy supports their leadership. To participate in the survey, please follow the link below to complete the survey before July 1, 2024.

The Science of Reading is hot 🔥 right now. Super simplified explanation: Two approaches have been battling for dominance in public schools, Whole Language and Phonics. Whole Language focuses on rote memorization of words and Phonics breaks down the sounds. (Phonics is just one key part of the Science of Reading, but it is a differentiator.) Whole Language dominated for years, but results have caused concern. In 2022, 37% of 4th graders tested below basic on NAEP testing(nation's report card). Mississippi is one state that has chosen to move away from Whole Language with impressive results. They went from being ranked the second worst state in the country for 4th grade reading in 2013 to a rocket rise of 21st in the country in 2022. Many districts and states are making moves towards incorporating Science of Reading curriculum on different levels of intensity. A total of 38 states have now passed laws or policies about changing reading instruction. The problem is that many schools are trying to fit in the Science of Reading for supplemental support, helping students who have fallen behind instead of incorporating the training and curriculum into all of their core classes. Hoping that giving students a strong foundation in their early years can lead to more life long lovers of reading nationwide. 📚 #reading #literacy

One way to strengthen math instruction: "giving teachers a voice in their professional development." That's what we're all about at Rekindle Education. Our teachers need the autonomy and flexibility to schedule coaching time that meets their individual K-9 math needs. And it's working. 98% of our teachers who were surveyed agreed that they could take what they learned in math coaching and apply that learning in their classroom. Teachers are professionals. Giving teachers a say in their continued learning is a must. #mathteachersdeservemore

Here's another swing at summarizing stakeholder data from a K12 CLNA project. This output is aligned with two previous blog posts: 1. https://lnkd.in/gpN2fFfk 2. https://lnkd.in/gGsD2Akm Please let me know if you're interested in more details.
