CMS Releases Breaking the Link Equity Report - Heart Math Tutoring

CMS Releases Breaking the Link Equity Report - Heart Math Tutoring CMS Releases Breaking the Link Equity Report CMS Releases Breaking the Link Equity Report March 2, 2018 By Heart Staff Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools released Breaking the Link, a 70-page equity report on school demographics, teacher qualifications, test results, attendance data, and more. This kicks off the district’s strategic planning process for 2018-2024. We applaud and thank the CMS Accountability Office for this endeavor. Any challenging effort for meaningful change must begin with acknowledgement of hard truths,” the report says. Thus, this report… seeks to provide a solid, data-based picture of our schools with the most recent data available. While some of the “links” between race, poverty concentration, and outcomes may already be well-known, we wanted to pull a few data points near and dear to Heart’s mission. Math from Elementary to Middle School 51% of Grades 3-5 students in high-poverty schools are proficient in math, and the rate drops to 30% during Grades 6-8. Low-poverty schools have math EOG proficiency rates in 78%-83% range during K-8. (Breaking the Link Report page 21) Why does proficiency decline by over 20% in high-poverty schools, after more years of schooling? Is the math foundation weaker in high-poverty schools? Is reading a larger barrier to middle school math in high-poverty schools? Are there other instructional differences in math during elementary school between high and low poverty schools? During middle school? Math I In high-poverty schools, 86% of students who took Math I during grades 6-8 scored proficient! Unfortunately, only 32% of students who take Math I during grades 9-12 are proficient. That 86% proficiency rate is higher than the Math I proficiency rates in low- and middle-poverty schools in grades 9-12, as well. (Breaking the Link Report, page 21) Math I is frequently an honors class during middle school, requiring students to self-select and qualify. Could we help Heart students be ready for Math I sooner, possibly improving their odds of passing above 31%? Both confidence and skills would be key ingredients here. Graduation and ACT Scores The ACT measures content mastery across English, math, reading, and science. Though 78% of students in high-poverty schools graduate from high school in four years (page 30), only 21% have ACT composite scores high enough for entrance into UNC system colleges. The minimum score requirement is 17, and the average in high-poverty high schools is 14.1. (Breaking the Link Report, page 27-28). We must keep an eye on the concrete skills that individuals need to “lead productive lives” â€" borrowing from CMS visioning statements â€" and look beyond high school graduation rates to understand college or career readiness. With thanks to CMS’s Accountability Office and the project team for their work on this report, we close with their words: “The next era of our district’s evolution is to provide the excellence we offer in some schools to every child, preparing all students to lead productive lives. This commitment requires us to undergo consistent self-reflection and evaluation, and then act.” (All images are from Breaking the Link.)

Why I Hate Thanksgiving

Why I Hate Thanksgiving Photo via Flickr user pinksherbet Its always about this time of year, when the University of Denvers quarter comes to close right before Thanksgiving, that I become both a) extremely stressed and b) angry. Stressed because obviously, finals, but why angry? Because everyone starts talking about Thanksgiving and Christmas and the holiday spirit. Let me clarify that Thanksgiving is most definitely one of the worst holidays â€" and this is why. I first learned about Thanksgiving, not at home, but in school. I learned it was a time when the mysterious Indians showed up out of nowhere and helped the Pilgrims survive when they were unable to feed themselves, and in doing so, created a holiday which people celebrate to give thanks. We then, as 1st Graders, dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians and shared a finger-food Thanksgiving dinner. But what they didnt teach us was that many of the Puritan elite among these Pilgrims later turned against the Native Americans and burned their villages to the ground. This merely continued a history of violence against the Native Americans that had begun since the Spaniards first came to the Americas, a history that would continue for centuries, a history that has still left many Native American peoples as second-class citizens. One of the main reasons why I despise Thanksgiving is the way that the US seems to conveniently forget about this history. Why do we as US Citizens still celebrate Thanksgiving? To give thanks to the Native Americans? What if people, like me, never had ancestors in the United States at that time? And what are Native Americans expected to do â€" give thanks that they showed compassion to immigrants of whom many would later systemically commit genocide?  Do people sit down on Thanksgiving day and talk about the Trail of Tears? The racism still experienced by Native Americans today? The standard of living on reservations? No. Instead, people sit down with family members, watch a parade of Snoopy floats and lip-syncing celebrities and hours of football on TV, cook a big meal and fall into a collective food coma and conveniently call it a holiday to appreciate what we have. Photo via Flickr user eye of einstein We give thanks that we have food on the table by encouraging the mass annual commercial slaughtering of turkeys grown artificially and in poor conditions in order to meet the American demand, a custom which also basically flips the bird to any vegetarians or vegans. We give thanks by consuming and encouraging each other to consume huge quantities of food an average American Thanksgiving dinner is worth 2000 calories when there are still children in our US of A starving on the streets? But Thanksgiving brings family together!  If anything, a lot of people I know talk about how much of a chore Thanksgiving is, having to fly back home to see cranky relatives, taking time out of their precious 4-5 day weekend or their winter break to go endure some meaningless dinner that is exactly the same food, exactly the same conversations around the stove or the television every year. Moreover, some people are forced to work on Thanksgiving Day, unable to spend it with their families because those companies decided to make money from the last-minute grocery shoppers by denying their employees family time. My problem with Thanksgiving as a holiday stems not from the intent but from the action. Its all fine and dandy to gather together and appreciate things that we have, but Thanksgiving today doesnt have anything to do with that.  If Thanksgiving were less of a hypocrisy and more of an actual celebration of appreciation, then maybe it wouldnt be such a bad holiday. Maybe it could, not erase, but seek to heal the burns still left from centuries of history against Native Americans. However, until I stop seeing people claim to appreciate all these things they have in their lives then going the very next day to Black Friday (and dont get me started on that), I will keep having this discussion, year after year.

How Parents Can Help Their Children Learn Organic Chemistry

How Parents Can Help Their Children Learn Organic ChemistryFiu Organic Chemistry is an online chemistry course developed by the FIBON lab, which has been widely acclaimed among thousands of students worldwide. It teaches the basics of organic chemistry, as well as courses on basic theory and its application. Many people think that learning chemistry through online is a good thing, but they do not know how to get in touch with the real science and do it right.When it comes to chemistry, one needs to learn the formulas for different compounds and their properties, as well as how to calculate the mass of a chemical formula. To do this, students need to know the different units of measurement used for different purposes, such as ounces, centimeters, and kilograms.So, the importance of knowing the units of measurement is crucial for the students learning organic chemistry. When students are able to recognize the units for different things, it is easier for them to relate the concepts and learn more about the subject. The only problem is that many teachers teach using the Latin system of measurement.It is not unusual for chemistry students to feel bored or frustrated when they cannot understand the lecture or the lab reports, even though they know the concepts and principles of the subject well. There are a lot of ways for parents to help their children to stay engaged in the subject.Chemists often remind their students that it is important to use their reasoning abilities to learn and remember chemical formulas. They suggest that the best way to master the subject is to spend time studying every day. This is because students need to make sure that they pay attention to all the assignments given to them, especially during the long summer break that follows the academic year.If the student cannot get enough time to study, parents should encourage them to go back to school during the summer break so that they can take the semester-long college course online. There are also other ways for parents to help their children prepare for a subject that is important for their future in life.Most students who want to take chemistry courses online have to leave the comfort of their home at some point in their lifetime, so there is no need to worry about finding a good college to enroll them in. With enough patience and support from the home environment, parents will be able to help their kids to excel in the subject.

Learn French in France How to Study Abroad

Learn French in France How to Study Abroad Megan L. Do you dream of attending classes in France? French tutor  Carol Beth L.  has done just that! Here, she shares how to study abroad in France, and the questions you must answer before you go 1) What kind of program are you searching for? Many students study abroad for a semester or for a year as an undergraduate. If this is your situation, your college or university will likely have one or more  approved programs to  which you can apply. While  some programs may be best suited for  French majors and minors, if you are studying another subject, look for a program with that  subject  in mind, and  present your suitability for the course. For example, perhaps you have an interest in art. The program, the city, or France itself is a particularly notable opportunity to expand your studies in the subject. That said, sometimes, these college or university programs can be difficult to fit into your college program. They  will have certain requirements and/or a limit to the numbers of students to be admitted, and so they can also be competitive. Finally,  perhaps you are not currently in college, but still want the experience of studying and living abroad. In any  of these  cases, consider attending an independent summer or semester-long program. Some students take a semester off and adjust their graduation schedule to accommodate such international learning opportunities. Though it becomes more difficult after college to maintain a sufficiently flexible schedule to accommodate such trips, some people are able to do it, either by saving vacation time, taking leave or sabbatical time, using the opportunity for  professional development, or finding time between jobs. You may even be able to do an exchange as part of your job, or teach there for a year. 2) Does your language level fit the program you are seeking to attend? College and university programs will basically want to be able to verify that you are capable of completing college-level work in French. If your proficiency in French is not very high (or even non-existent), other independent programs are often more flexible. 3) Where will your program be? Paris is probably the most common city for study abroad programs. The Sorbonne even has classes  for foreigners wishing to learn French (les Cours de Civilisation Française). If you are setting up your program  through your college or university, they should be able to tell you which cities are available to study abroad in. Depending on your institution, it may be more difficult or impossible to go to a city that is not pre-approved, but some institutions do allow it. If you are studying  independent of a university, you may have greater range of geographic options. Many, if not most, of Frances major cities (as well as some in Belgium, Switzerland, and other French-speaking countries)  host or have hosted foreign students at one time or another. 4) What will your housing be like? International students in France usually have a couple of options when it comes to finding housing. Some rent an apartment on their own or with classmates or friends. Others find homestays. Often, your study abroad program can help you find housing, but you may need to finalize it on your own. In Paris, international students are also eligible to apply for housing in the Cité Universitaire, student dormitories just south of the city. From there, it is a quick ride to the Latin Quarter, where many students have their classes. 5) What will you use for transportation? Hint: The answer most likely will not be “a car.” Bringing a car trans-Atlantic is impractical, and buying one there is probably more expensive than its worth, especially if youre not there for very long. Additionally, though you wouldnt necessarily need to pass the notoriously difficult French driving test, you would need to obtain and carry a notarized translation of your driving license. As an alternative, consider taking public transportation. In many cities, public transportation is very good. For example, Paris is home to one of the best subway systems in the world, and even many locals dont bother with a car unless theyre leaving the city. Buying a monthly pass is, for many, the best option available. Even if you decide to leave the city where you are studying, the European train system is more developed than the United States system, and flying is also an option for longer distances. 6) What are your plans for food? Dining  out in France is wonderful, but be prepared to make your own food from time to time. Many French cities, like Paris, have open-air markets with fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. Local grocery stores can supply you with some basics; chains like Monoprix can also help. Though many chains have started providing bags, French stores have traditionally required customers to bring their own. Even at the stores that do provide bags, you may see many people bring their own reusable ones. You may wish to get in the habit of bringing a bag  just in case, especially if you will be visiting smaller, locally-run stores. Nonetheless, be sure to set aside part of your budget for eating out and having drinks with friends. This is a relatively common way to catch up with people outside of work and school. 7) How do you plan to meet the locals? If you want to improve your conversation skills  in French (as  most students studying abroad in France do),  finding local French friends is a huge help. One easy way to do this is to take your interests to your new city. Play a musical instrument? Try to locate a local amateur or college orchestra, or other music-related opportunities. Like to play sports? Keep an eye out for a local rugby or soccer team. And if you regularly attend church, mosque, synagogue, or temple, try to find one that will also allow you to connect with French-speaking locals. France has become increasingly international, so even topics that dont originate in France, such as manga or swing dance, will still have some fans. 8) How will  you handle cultural differences?Are local customs different than what you are used to? If the locals think a little differently on some topics, appreciate those  differences. If you encounter a difference that you would consider to be ridiculous or extreme, dont take it personally.  Either side could be right, wrong, or neither. The Paris subway, for example, is usually fabulous compared to U.S. public transit, and drivers license tests are very expensive and difficult to pass. As a result, teenagers dont put as much of a priority as their American counterparts on obtaining a license, and many people dont have or dont use their cars. The exception is when the subway workers decide to go on strike. And when they do, Parisian professors and employers know that people are going to have transportation issues, so tardiness is often treated a bit more lightly during that time. In more general terms, the French also like to discuss things a bit more than Americans do. Sometimes it may seem that everyone has an opinion on everything, and that they like to add the hows and whys into their discussion. To someone like myself, who had always lived in the more laid-back Southern California, this can  sometimes come across as argumentative. 9) What cultural and historic sites will you be near? In Paris alone, there are many historic sites and museums. Even Versailles is only a short train ride outside the city. Near Toulouse, you can find the castle of Carcassonne. Take note  of what is nearby, and consider taking a weekend or two to visit different sites. (Editors Note: Weekend Student Adventures offers great guided tours in Paris!) 10) Will you have resources and days off to allow you to visit other notable areas of France and/or Europe? Sometimes, students have the opportunity to travel Europe during the summer before or after their semester abroad. During my semester abroad, we had several weeks of classes in Paris after winter break, and for many students, it was less expensive to stay in France than to buy an extra round-trip ticket home for the holidays. A classmate and I took the opportunity to visit some sites in northwestern France, including several castles of the Loire Valley and Mont Saint-Michel. While not everyone can do this, know your schedule and resources so that you can create plans  if the opportunity arises. Most of all, enjoy and learn from your stay abroad, and bring back your experiences to  share with your American classmates and colleagues.
