<p><strong>3 Fun Relationship-Building Activities for Older Students</strong></p>

<p>In an article for educators published on March 8, 2024, Amy Nichols highlights the significance of incorporating fun, relationship-building activities in the classroom to enhance student engagement and foster a sense of belonging. Nichols reflects on a conversation with her superintendent, who attributed the decline in students' affection for school post-second grade to the cessation of show-and-tell and the onset of high-stakes testing. She argues that the pressure to cover the curriculum at the expense of building relationships with students can exacerbate student anxiety and impede learning.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/12400239453?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/12400239453?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="300" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Nichols advocates for dedicating time throughout the school year to activities that build and maintain relationships, emphasizing that these efforts are instrumental in making students feel valued and open to learning. She shares three engaging activities that she employs to cultivate relational capacity within her classes, thus preparing students for academic rigor.</p>
<ol>
<li><p><strong>Concentric Circles</strong>: This activity involves students forming two circles, one inside the other, and discussing various questions to get to know each other better. The rotation of students within the circles facilitates interactions among all class members, including the teacher, promoting familiarity and understanding.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Spider Web</strong>: In this interactive exercise, students stand and use a ball of string or yarn to visually represent connections among them. A student holding the yarn shares something about themselves, and those who can relate to the statement in any way signal to receive the yarn next, forming a web-like pattern. This activity emphasizes the commonalities within the class, fostering a sense of unity and support.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>All My People Who</strong>: Similar to musical chairs, this dynamic game involves students sitting in a circle with one fewer chair than participants. The standing student makes a statement beginning with "All my people who...", prompting those who identify with the descriptor to find a new seat. This not only provides physical activity but also reveals shared interests and traits among students.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Nichols concludes that the time invested in these relationship-building activities is invaluable, leading to a more enjoyable and academically fruitful year. By building trust and relational capacity, students are more willing to engage in the challenging academic work that lies ahead. The article serves as a testament to the power of incorporating interactive and enjoyable practices into education to create a positive and inclusive learning environment.</p>

<p><strong>Why Children Need Risk, Fear, and Excitement in Play and Why adults’ fears put them at risk</strong></p>
<p><span>MARIANA BRUSSONI</span></p>
<p><span>FEB 28, 2024</span></p>
<p><span>After Babel</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Mariana Brussoni's essay, highlighted by Jon Haidt's preface, emphasizes the essential role of outdoor risky play in children's development, arguing that the trend towards hyper-protective parenting is paradoxically undermining children's safety and chances of success. Brussoni, with over two decades of experience in children’s development, injury prevention, and outdoor risky play research, advocates for a balanced approach to safety, encapsulated in the principle of keeping children "as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible."</p>
<p>The article outlines a generational shift in childhood experiences, noting a stark contrast between the unstructured outdoor play remembered fondly by adults born before the 1990s and the supervised, structured activities that characterize the childhood of those born afterwards. This shift, driven by intensive parenting styles that emerged in the 1980s, has led to a decrease in children's outdoor play and freedom, with significant time now devoted to academic pursuits and screen-based activities. Between 1975 and 2015, outdoor play among UK children decreased by 29.4%, while screen-based activities increased by 22.4%. In the U.S., the percentage of children playing outdoors daily dropped from 16% in 1997 to 10% by 2003.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/12399614671?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/12399614671?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="400" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Risky play, characterized by activities that involve physical risks, the pursuit of excitement, and the satisfaction of curiosity, is deemed crucial for children's physical and cognitive development. Such play allows children to push their boundaries, experiencing both thrill and fear, thereby gaining vital skills and overcoming anxieties. Brussoni argues that the decline in risky play, influenced by intensive parenting and misconceptions about safety, has had detrimental effects on children's development, including their mental health and cognitive skills.</p>
<p>To counteract these trends, Brussoni proposes three essential ingredients for reviving risky play and childhood freedom: time, space, and freedom. These include prioritizing daily outdoor playtime, ensuring access to stimulating play spaces, and allowing children the freedom to play as they choose. She also highlights the importance of managing adult fears and building community support to foster environments conducive to risky play.</p>
<p>The essay concludes with a call to action, urging parents and educators to prioritize play and freedom in children’s lives to ensure their thriving development. Brussoni's work, supported by her research and resources available at OutsidePlay.org, provides a compelling case for the benefits of risky play and the need for a cultural shift towards allowing children the freedom to explore, learn, and grow through play.</p>

<br />
<div class="entry-content"><div dir="ltr"><span>In recent years pediatricians around the country have found themselves on the front lines as they battle legislation targeting some of our most vulnerable youth. Sadly one such battle has now come to Long Island. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><div>Nassau County Executive Blakeman this week issued an order that bans teams with transgender girls from using any County sports facility including over 100 ball fields, basketball courts and pools. Schools and organizations using these facilities will be required to sign affidavits stating that there are no transgender girls on their teams.</div>
<div>Blakeman felt that this order was necessary even though he said he had not heard of specific examples of transgender girls attempting to compete in women’s sports in Nassau. In this act that was clearly politically motivated, Blakeman created a solution to a problem which he admitted does not exist. He put political expediency ahead of the lives and well being of some of his most vulnerable constituents.</div>
<div>As pediatricians we support our transgender patients in the challenges they face. Our patients are struggling through a mental health crisis that is only heightened among LGBTQ youth (1). Approximately half of transgender youth have considered suicide in the past year as they struggle to fit in (2). Those that are bullied either in person or online are three times more likely to attempt suicide (3). Participation in extracurricular activities and living in accepting communities reduce the risk of suicidal ideation (4). In addition regular exercise and participation in sports are known to reduce anxiety and depression (5). Blakeman’s order effectively eliminates that positive outlet for transgender girls who stand to benefit greatly from the camaraderie, the acceptance and the physical activity that come with being on a team.</div>
<div>The order to ban transgender girls from teams that use County sports facilities is cloaked in the intent of protecting women’s rights in sports. Proponents claim that having transgender girls on teams places them at an unfair advantage and poses a risk to other players.</div>
<div>As a former hockey and soccer mom I spent many a weekend traveling out of state for competitions. I know how hard female athletes work to achieve their goals and to seek scholarships. I also remember fearing injuries as I watched my daughter get checked on the ice or tackled as a soccer keeper during a breakaway. However it’s important to understand a few factual points here.</div>
<div>The number of highly competitive transgender athletes is so exceedingly small (6) it makes much of the discussion surrounding the executive order almost theoretical. There are approximately 300,000 transgender youth aged 13-17 in the U.S. Less than half of these identify as female (7). Only an estimated 12% of transgender youth choose to participate in sports compared to 68% of their counterparts (8). As is the case with all youth athletes only a very small percentage of those will advance to competitive levels. Surely the rarity of female transgender athletes competing at very high levels does not justify blanketly barring all transgender girls from participating in school and recreational sports that could very well be a lifeline for them.</div>
<div>In addition, transgender grade school youth or those who initiate puberty blockers before or at puberty have no physical advantage over their peers (9). For those who have gone through puberty before transitioning it should be noted that success in sports is dependent on many factors including tenacity and determination, time devoted to acquiring and perfecting skills , access to private lessons and one’s body type depending on the particular sport (10).</div>
<div>Perhaps in the rare instances of high level competition the governing boards of the particular sport should be the ones to weigh in should concerns ever arise, rather than politicians unfamiliar with the nuances of science and sport who choose instead to issue executive orders.</div>
<div>By injecting what is a political culture war debate into our local communities where schools, teams and organizations will be forced to grapple with this issue, transgender girls will be further stigmatized and undoubtedly become the target of hateful rhetoric or actions that will place their mental health and physical safety in peril. This is why the American Academy of Pediatrics has joined with all other major health, child welfare and education organizations to oppose legislation that bans transgender youth from participating in sports (11).</div>
<div>Any well researched piece of legislation should weigh the costs and benefits that will ensue in its wake. It would seem that far more transgender youth will stand to be hurt by this order than the theoretical individuals it claims to be protecting. If we are to truly care about public health and seek to explore ways to allow all our youth to be successful and thrive, would we not strive to teach our children to be welcoming and inclusive?</div>
<div>Rather than finding ways to further exclude and stigmatize already struggling and isolated youth should we not work to create an atmosphere where more of our transgender youth feel comfortable participating in sports with all the benefits that would provide? Instead the Nassau County Executive has chosen to unnecessarily and carelessly put children’s lives at risk. There will undoubtedly be fallout resulting from the rhetoric surrounding this order even if it is reversed. Most of it will be unseen but keenly felt by the youth he has targeted who will suffer in silence.</div>

<div class="tdb-block-inner td-fix-index">District Administration</div>
<div class="tdb-block-inner td-fix-index"></div>
<div class="tdb-block-inner td-fix-index"><p>A recent report titled "Beyond Degrees" by American Student Assistance and Jobs for the Future reveals a significant interest among K-12 students and their parents in exploring non-degree pathways after graduation. The study emphasizes the need for more comprehensive information and guidance on education-to-career paths, starting as early as middle school. This insight is crucial for district leaders aiming to offer students a full picture of their postsecondary options.</p>
<p>The report highlights that nearly 90% of parents are keen to learn more about non-degree options, with 40% advocating for advising to begin in middle school. Maria Flynn, President and CEO of Jobs for the Future, underscores the importance of providing students, parents, and educators with clear and timely information about diverse pathways to ensure students don't miss out on potential life-changing opportunities.</p>
<p>Key findings from the report include a relatively low percentage (28%) of parents who would be disappointed if their child chose not to pursue a two- or four-year college degree. In contrast, 30% would be delighted, and 41% expressed neutrality. Despite the high interest from educators in discussing non-degree pathways, with 97% believing their students are interested, there is a concern that high schools do not offer sufficient information on available options. Moreover, only 26% of parents feel their children are "very prepared" for their post-high school transition.</p>
<p>The report suggests that students not enrolling in college but participating in pathway programs like apprenticeships, boot camps, or earning industry certifications are more likely to find employment. It calls for education leaders to provide more comprehensive coverage of college and career options in middle school and to create more opportunities for parents to understand the variety of alternatives and assess the quality of non-degree pathways.</p>
<p>The collaboration between education and industry is also recommended to encourage employers to adopt skills-based hiring practices. The findings indicate a consensus among parents and educators on the potential of nondegree pathways for youth but highlight a gap in guidance on navigating these postsecondary options for lifelong success.</p>

<h1 class="page-title">This Black History Month, let’s finally break the cycle of racial inequality in our housing and education systems </h1>
<span>BY LAURA HARDING, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 02/03/24</span><br />
<span>The Hill</span><br />
<p></p>
<p>During Black History Month, Laura Harding, president of ERASE Racism, calls for a deeper examination of racial discrimination's enduring impact on education and housing in the United States. As we approach the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, it is evident that despite the ruling's intent to desegregate education, schools across America remain divided along racial and economic lines. Harding's opinion piece, published in The Hill on February 3, 2024, emphasizes the intertwined nature of housing discrimination and educational segregation, particularly highlighting the situation in New York.</p>
<p>The 2022 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office reveals a troubling picture of segregation in schools, with a significant portion of students attending schools that are predominantly of a single race/ethnicity. This segregation is not only a matter of racial lines but is also deeply connected to economic disparities, further disadvantaging students from low-income families. The ERASE Racism report "Empire State Inequity" uncovers that one in every three students of color in New York attends intensely segregated school districts, predominantly comprising students of color. This segregation is often a reflection of historical and ongoing discriminatory housing policies, such as exclusionary zoning and redlining, which continue to shape modern-day practices and contribute to structural racism.</p>
<p>The consequences of these intertwined systems of discrimination are far-reaching, affecting students' access to quality education and equitable opportunities in life. The piece argues that the roots of educational segregation can be traced back to discriminatory housing practices that determine school district boundaries and, by extension, student demographics. These practices not only perpetuate segregation but also lead to inequitable funding and resources for schools, disproportionately affecting students of color and those from lower-income families.</p>
<p>Harding proposes three key policy changes to break the cycle of racial inequality in housing and education: recognizing and addressing the connection between racial segregation in housing and public education, ending inequitable funding of public school districts, and making reparations for government-sanctioned structural racism. These changes, she argues, are essential for holding the government accountable for its actions and ensuring that all students have access to the opportunities they deserve.</p>
<p>As we reflect on the progress made since the Brown v. Board of Education decision, Harding's piece serves as a reminder of the work that remains to be done. Black History Month provides a critical opportunity to acknowledge our past, confront the current realities of racial discrimination, and take meaningful steps toward a more equitable future.</p>

<p><strong>Title: "Whatever Happened To Service Learning?"</strong></p>
<p><strong>by Larry Cuban</strong></p>

<p>Larry Cuban's article, published on January 30, 2024, takes educators on a historical journey, exploring the enduring concept of service learning in K-12 education. Accessible at <a target="_new">https://larrycuban.wordpress.com/</a>, the article reflects on the evolution, challenges, and persisting importance of service learning as a means to foster civic engagement and bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world experiences.</p>
<p>The article begins by acknowledging the cyclical nature of educational fads and distinguishes service learning from being a mere trend. It defines service learning broadly as K-12 students providing community service, emphasizing its presence in both public and private schools for over a century. Cuban recognizes that while service learning has been a consistent feature, it experienced faddish moments, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s.</p>
<p>The core questions explored include the definition of service learning, its origins, and its varied goals—ranging from students learning about community institutions through direct experience to solving local problems or providing non-paid labor to organizations. The article highlights the challenge of pinning down a single definition due to the diverse ways it has been implemented in schools since its introduction in the 1970s.</p>
<p>Cuban outlines examples of service learning, illustrating its integration into the regular curriculum and the importance of students reflecting on their experiences. These examples include a high school student assisting a shelter for homeless families and a middle school project honoring local heroes through interviews and a published book.</p>
<p>The problems that service learning seeks to address, according to the article, include reducing the gap between classroom learning and the world outside, providing an action-driven alternative to traditional academic routines, and fulfilling the historic mission of public schools to prepare engaged citizens.</p>
<p>The author acknowledges that the definition variance complicates assessments of service learning's effectiveness. While early research often focused on correlations with improved attendance and test scores, recent analyses suggest significant gains in attitudes toward self, school, civic engagement, social skills, and academic performance.</p>
<p>Despite its nuanced history and evolving perceptions, service learning is portrayed as a concept with staying power. Cuban notes a decline in actual school-based service learning programs since the 1990s, citing a drop from 32 percent in 1999 to 24 percent in 2008. However, the article underscores that service learning remains a clear presence in many schools across the nation, emphasizing its enduring impact.</p>
<p>In conclusion, "Whatever Happened To Service Learning?" serves as a reflective resource for educators, offering insights into the historical trajectory of service learning, its challenges, and its ongoing relevance in fostering civic responsibility and bridging the gap between education and community engagement.</p>

Unsurprisingly then, informed observers of American culture know that TV and film have influenced children and youth in their images of teachers. Because television and Hollywood are businesses, they require our attention (e.g., eyeballs) to make money. To grab that attention, writers and program executives exaggerate and embellish their portrayals of teachers to attract viewers.</strong></p>

<p>Putting on Your Underwear First: Why Instructional Sequence Doesn’t Always Matter</p>

The original entry had 5 comments which you can see if you click on this link. This question about what would be the best instructional sequence continues to come up regarding teaching the alphabet or teaching phonics. As this blog makes clear (I hope), sequences of these skills are more determined by some rather general, commonsensical guidelines that have emerged from empirical study, but there is no “science of reading” approved sequence that is most beneficial for learning.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Teacher’s Question: </strong></em></p>
<p><em>Is there a particular order in which teachers should teach the letter sounds?</em> </p>
<p><strong>Shanahan’s response:</strong></p>
<p>Sequence matters. It makes sense to put on your underwear before you put on a skirt, shirt, blouse, or pants.</p>
<p>That is, unless you’re Madonna.</p>
<p>Then the usual ordering of things doesn’t necessarily get the job done. Madonna altered the approved sequence from bra/blouse to blouse/bra and became a star. (That she is wildly talented may also have had something to do with her success).</p>
<p>However, when it comes to curriculum, teachers, principals, parents, and policymakers expect the ordering of lessons to be more than a matter of convention or style.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, this teacher’s question comes up often.</p>

<p><strong><em>Teacher question:</em></strong></p>
<p><em>You say that we cannot successfully teach comprehension skills like main idea. But our standards require that we teach main idea, and our state tests ask main idea questions to assess whether our students are accomplishing that goal. I don’t get it, your advice on this is not helpful.</em></p>
<p><strong>Shanahan response:</strong></p>
<p>For years, comprehension skills like “main idea” were taught by having kids read texts and answer main idea questions. The idea is that question-answering practice will improve the ability to answer the kinds of questions the students are practicing with. Often the question types themselves have been labeled as comprehension skills and, as everyone knows, practice is a great way to learn skills. Some of these supposed skills include main idea, supporting details, literal recall, comparison/contrast, drawing conclusions, inferencing, and so on.</p>
<p>There are still scads of books and programs aimed at just such pedagogy – that present brief texts accompanied by questions of a particular type so kids can do that kind of thing over and over. Many schools have even developed their own pools of such items to prepare kids for standardized tests – hoping to make kids better at answering such questions.<br/><br/><a href="https://shanahanonliteracy.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc58bb87f6546d26ef6670464&id=af7e4ef6fd&e=6d52f0d985" target="_blank" rel="noopener">READ MORE</a></p>How to Avoid the 3 Biggest Mistakes Leaders Don’t Need to Maketag:schoolleadership20.com,2023-12-01:1990010:BlogPost:3889212023-12-01T14:03:38.000ZMichael Keanyhttps://schoolleadership20.com/profile/MichaelKeany91

<p>Apprenticeships provide an innovative way for educators to experience real-life challenges and hone their professional skills. Allowing aspiring educators to gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and practice in actual classrooms positively impacts the development of their competency levels and the quality of education they can provide throughout their careers. Simultaneously, apprenticeships address the educator shortages many districts and schools are experiencing while creating a durable pathway into the teaching profession. It is essential to recognize that as the education field evolves, apprenticeships hold tremendous potential for the growth and advancement of educators while providing an opportunity for aspiring teachers to earn income while they learn.</p>

<p class="p1">-----------------------------------------</p>
<p>Implementing restorative justice practices in a high school involves a carefully structured process that focuses on repairing harm and fostering a positive school environment. Here's an outline of the steps, but please note that I can't provide specific references as I don't have direct access to databases. I recommend consulting restorative justice organizations, education journals, and experts for specific research-backed references.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>1. Assess the School's Needs:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Conduct a thorough assessment of the school's current discipline practices, climate, and areas of concern.</li>
<li>Review research on the impact of punitive vs. restorative disciplinary approaches (e.g., "The School Discipline Consensus Report" by the Council of State Governments).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2. Build a Restorative Justice Team:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Form a team of educators, administrators, counselors, and community members.</li>
<li>Provide training on restorative justice principles and practices.</li>
<li>Explore resources from organizations like the International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Policy Development and Implementation:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Develop clear restorative justice policies and procedures.</li>
<li>Align these policies with existing school discipline policies.</li>
<li>Review research on effective restorative justice policy development in schools.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Training and Capacity Building:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Provide comprehensive training for all staff members on restorative practices.</li>
<li>Training can include conflict resolution, communication, and circle facilitation.</li>
<li>Research programs and training materials from organizations like the Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Communication and Education:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Educate students, parents, and the community about restorative justice principles.</li>
<li>Share the benefits and goals of implementing restorative practices.</li>
<li>Reference research on communication strategies for introducing restorative justice to stakeholders.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Restorative Circles and Conferencing:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Implement restorative circles for proactive community building.</li>
<li>Use conferences to address specific incidents and conflicts.</li>
<li>Research restorative circle and conference facilitation techniques (e.g., books by Kay Pranis).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>7. Data Collection and Evaluation:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Collect data on the impact of restorative justice practices.</li>
<li>Analyze changes in discipline referrals, school climate, and student outcomes.</li>
<li>Reference research on data collection methods for restorative justice programs in schools.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>8. Continuous Improvement:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Continuously assess and adjust the restorative justice program based on data and feedback.</li>
<li>Stay updated on the latest research and best practices in restorative justice.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>9. Community Partnerships:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Collaborate with local organizations and restorative justice experts for support and resources.</li>
<li>Engage in restorative justice community-building activities.</li>
<li>Explore research on successful community partnerships in restorative justice programs.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>10. Sustainability:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure that restorative justice practices become a sustainable part of the school culture.</li>
<li>Promote the long-term integration of restorative practices in school policies and procedures.</li>
</ul>
<p>For specific references, consider consulting educational journals, publications from organizations like the International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP), and research papers on restorative justice in educational settings. It's essential to stay informed about the latest research and best practices in restorative justice as you implement these practices in a high school.</p>

<p><em>Blast from the Past: This posting originally appeared on August 30, 2015 and reposted August 19, 2023. Issues about whether students should be taught at grade level or instructional level continue to plague the field of reading education. Since this first posted, more research has accumulated showing that it is important -- for the sake of learning -- that we give students opportunity to learn to read harder texts than we dared in the past. Sadly, many advocates of guided reading continue to misinterpret the "</em><em>challenging text" requirements of their state standards. Here i explain why the instructional level theory is reasonable, but that it errs on its definition of what constitutes challenging text. This 8-year-old blog is as relevant today as when first published. Oh, and by the way, be sure to read the comments and responses -- that is one of the best parts of these blogs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Teacher question:</strong></p>
<p><em>I’ve read your posts on the instructional level and complex texts, and I don’t think you understand guided reading. The point of guided reading placements is to teach students with challenging text. That’s why it is so important to avoid texts that students can read at their independent level; to make sure they are challenged. The Common Core requires teaching students with challenging texts—not frustration level texts.</em> </p>
<p><strong>Shanahan response:<em> </em></strong></p>
<p>I’m having <em>déjà vu </em>all over again. I feel like I’ve covered this ground before, but perhaps not quite in the way that this question poses the issue.</p>
<p>Yes, indeed, the idea of teaching students at their instructional level is that some texts could be too easy or too hard to facilitate learning. By placing students in between those extremes, the hope was that more learning would take place. In texts that students find easy (what you refer to as the independent level), there would be little for students to learn—since they would recognize all or most of the words and could understand the text fully without any help from the teacher. Likewise, texts that pose too much challenge might overwhelm or frustrate students preventing learning. Placing students in instructional level materials was meant to be challenging (there’d be something to learn), but not so challenging as to discourage.</p>
<p>At least that’s the theory.</p>
<p>So, I do understand that the way you are placing kids in text is meant to provide them with an appropriate degree of challenge.</p>
<p>But please don’t confuse this level of challenge with what your state standards are requiring, and don't assume that your criteria for determining the appropriate level of text challenge to be correct.<br/><br/><a href="https://shanahanonliteracy.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc58bb87f6546d26ef6670464&id=8c576aa1b1&e=6d52f0d985" target="_blank" rel="noopener">READ MORE...</a></p>
