The SAIL program is a two-week summer transition program for children entering kindergarten in the Saucon Valley School District. It aims to ease children's transition from preschool to formal schooling through organized academic, behavioral and social activities. Participation has increased from 40% in 2012 to 60% in 2014. Data from kindergarten screenings is used to create focus groups and lesson plans. Feedback from parents and teachers suggests the program helps children feel more comfortable starting kindergarten. There is discussion of broadening community involvement in the program.
The document discusses social media and digital citizenship statistics for teens and children, including that 95% of teens use the internet, 81% use social media, and 50% log into social media daily. It also notes that 21% of children under 13 use social media and 26% have a YouTube account. The document then outlines action items for the Dublin Unified School District, including providing comprehensive digital citizenship training for staff using Common Sense Media, educating parents on social media best practices, and informing students and staff about appropriate social media use and reporting.
This document outlines Portage Northern High School's implementation of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and a Pyramid Response to Intervention (PRTI) model. It discusses how PLCs were used to analyze student data and identify struggling students, and how a multi-tiered PRTI model was developed to provide increasingly intensive academic and behavioral supports. Tier 1 interventions involve universal supports for all students. Struggling students receive Tier 2 interventions such as tutoring or re-teaching. Intensive Tier 3 interventions involve individualized support plans. The school also created an Academic Support Teacher role to monitor student progress and ensure fidelity of the PRTI process. Overall, the document shows how PLCs and PRTI
The document discusses establishing a Student Leadership Council (SLC) to empower students and improve school culture. The SLC will focus on increasing parental involvement and attendance. A survey found most absences were due to illness, transportation, or family responsibilities. Students suggested rewards for attendance and more time between classes. The SLC will plan family events and monthly incentives to increase involvement and attendance. Challenges may include teacher buy-in and scheduling, but research shows student voice improves engagement and achievement.
We always expect medicinal and magical effect to solve behavioral and attitudinal problems of students. Students are human being. Human beings possess millions of observable and non-observable traits. Generally, educator becomes judgmental rather than an alert and minute observer. Every single act of student will not come under misbehaviour. A wise educator perceives different human traits on different layers and find out the logical solutions of students misbehaviour. We need not worry to create Utopian Society. We deal with smart kids (technological smart if not academicals smart). We always need to handle these smart kids with care, love and affection. Never ever leave a space for a student to form a negative outlook for you. Always keep open interaction with students to form a positive attitude towards learning, academic, peers and school. We should always try to repeat and remind the essence of good behaviour. The desired changes in the students behaviour will be observed -------time----time -----time ---------will be there ----keep patience remind----repeat--------keep doing proper effort------ --- Rajeev Ranjan

Webinar: Assessing to Inform Teaching and Learning: A Guide for LeadersDreamBox Learning
油
This webinar focused on formative assessment strategies for teachers. It discussed five key formative assessment techniques: observations, interviews, show me activities, hinge questions, and exit tasks. These techniques provide evidence of student learning through activities like observing students, asking them questions, having them demonstrate their understanding, and completing culminating tasks. The webinar emphasized that formative assessment should be used flexibly on a daily basis to inform teaching and help students learn.
The document proposes ways to recognize and support principals in order to increase retention. It suggests implementing both ongoing strategies, such as thank you emails, and less frequent strategies, like principal of the month awards. Recognition is important because lack of appreciation is a top reason employees leave and 50% of principals quit within 3 years. The proposals provide a calendar outlining existing and proposed recognition events throughout the school year for DC public school principals. The goal is to improve retention through connection, feedback, and appreciation of principals' work.
This was a tool used to network and rally 265 educators on a school campus by informing and reinforcing school cultural values of transparency and clear messaging.
Christopher Brannon is an experienced educator seeking a principal position. He has over 15 years of experience in education, serving as an elementary principal, assistant principal, teacher, and coach. He is dedicated to student growth, staff development, and community engagement. As a principal, he has implemented programs to improve behavior, increase parent involvement, and strengthen instruction in core subjects.

This document is a presentation by six students (Pratik, Keyur, Darshan, Jay, Chirag, and Kishan) for their lecturer Ms. Komal Shukla on motivating students to attend class. It identifies student absenteeism as a problem, especially among adolescents. It discusses that motivation and engagement are important for learning. The presentation recommends making students feel a sense of belonging, providing active learning opportunities, understanding student perspectives on competence, values, and social connections, and establishing a supportive school culture and curriculum to improve student motivation.
The document defines college readiness as what students need to know and be able to do to succeed in entry-level college courses and be able to progress to higher-level courses. It identifies the key components of college readiness as supporting and engaging students, empowering excellent teachers, and focusing on higher-level success. The document also discusses what is needed from students, communities, education systems, and partnerships to improve college readiness.
Constructing a Virtual Community Of Mathematical Practice amongst Teacher Can...Adam Geller
油
This project constructed a virtual community of practice among teacher candidates, practicing teachers, and teacher educators to improve mathematical instruction. Participants used a video sharing platform to record and provide feedback on teacher candidates' lessons. Coaches assessed lessons using a rubric and provided feedback, which candidates used to improve their next lessons. Both candidates and coaches found value in the experience, such as opportunities for reflection and collaboration. Comparison data showed gains in student achievement and in candidates' instructional abilities. The virtual community supported creative, collaborative professional learning.
This document summarizes the key strategies and results of an initiative called I-CAN at Wallace Community College in Dothan, Alabama aimed at improving student success. The initiative focuses on changing mindsets around teaching and learning to be more student-centered and promote critical thinking. It provides training, support and accountability for faculty to transform their teaching approaches. Results include higher retention and completion rates, improved student perceptions of their learning environment, and increased attendance and preparation in core courses. The initiative demonstrates that changes in instructional strategies can significantly reduce achievement gaps.
Career Possibilities in the Early Childhood Fieldsbilby2
油
This document outlines career possibilities and educational requirements in the early childhood education field. It lists various career roles including teacher, director, instructor, regulator, and researcher. It provides examples of work settings like preschool, head start, and elementary schools. It notes that education requirements and salaries vary greatly across roles but typically range from a CDA to a PhD. It emphasizes the importance of goal setting and continuing education to advance in this field.
This document summarizes Vermont's approach to using data-driven decision making to support Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in schools. It provides an overview of the PBIS implementation in Vermont, describing the various state agencies and organizations involved in supporting schools. It also describes the tiered system of support for schools, including the data tools and resources available at each level to facilitate data-driven problem solving. Data is shown on the growth of PBIS implementation in Vermont schools over time, as well as outcomes like decreased office discipline referrals and time out of school/class. The role of data analysis to support decision making is emphasized.
Childcare Training - Early Learning and Childcare Apprenticeships and QCF's The Pathway Group
油
The Childcare Training - Early Learning and Childcare Apprenticeships and QCF's are for people who want to work with children.
By completing an Intermediate Level Apprenticeship you can become an: Early Years Worker/Assistant, Care Worker/Assistant, Assistant Youth Support & Community Worker.
If you complete an Advanced Level Apprenticeship you can become a: Nursery Worker/Supervisor, Child-minder,
Nursery Nurse, Nursery Teaching Assistant.
This Apprenticeship is for people who work with children from birth onward (and their families) in settings or services whose main purpose is childrens care, learning and development. Workers in this area make sure children are looked after, kept active, happy and nourished. They also help children develop social and practical skills.
This Apprenticeship gives people a fulfilling opportunity to work with children and young people while also gaining an understanding into the how's and whys of their development. Equally, it ensures candidates put childcare theory into practice.
The document discusses policies and resources for using pupil premium funding to support children who have been looked after, including those adopted from care. It outlines that 2-4 year olds are eligible for early education funding and premiums, while children in reception through year 11 adopted from care receive 贈1900 in premium funding paid to schools. It recommends comparing attainment levels, strengthening the evidence base, and developing the workforce to support adopted children. Finally, it provides examples of strategies that work well for adopted children in schools, such as seeing the school from the child's perspective, listening, building attachments, flexibility, therapy-informed approaches, and strong school-parent partnerships.
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) aims to improve education by holding teachers accountable, empowering parents, and ensuring all students achieve academic standards. It requires teachers to be highly qualified and uses testing to monitor student progress and teacher performance. Supporters believe NCLB benefits students and communities by providing oversight of schools and allowing progress tracking. However, critics argue it has increased academic competitiveness and raised graduation requirements to an unreasonably difficult level. The act also demands teachers use data from student assessments to inform instructional decisions and continuously evaluate and modify their teaching methods to address learning needs.
Kalyong Elementary School conducted various programs and activities from 2014-2015 under its School-Based Management program. This included orientations, campaigns, forums, festivals, classroom repairs, a school feeding program, and academic activities. The report analyzes the school's performance in access, efficiency, and quality. It found declines in enrollment and NAT scores. Interventions like early registration, remedial classes, and focused teacher reviews were implemented. Future plans include benchmarking exemplary SBM schools, strengthening committees, and seeking support from stakeholders to improve facilities and generate income.
The document summarizes a presentation on effective teaching and learning strategies in a competency-based clinical learning environment. It discusses how competency-based education has transformed instructional design from a focus on knowledge acquisition to ensuring students can apply their knowledge and skills. Effective clinical teaching techniques include establishing rapport, providing direction and feedback, demonstrating clinical competence, and engaging multiple teaching methods. Barriers to implementing competency-based education include a lack of standardized assessments, faculty training, understanding of competency-based models, and updated physical learning environments. The presentation promotes moving students along a continuum from novice to competent by focusing instruction on desired outcomes rather than problems.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
油
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
