New York Discovery Educator Network

Have you heard about the Discovery Educator Network? Many districts on Long Island subscribe to the Discovery Streaming service, but many teachers are not aware of the added benefits to becoming a member. If you are one of those educators, do not hesitate to ask me any questions that relate to becoming a DEN Star Educator, the Discovery Streaming service or any ed tech advice in general. I would be very happy to help… Continue

The Illusion of Power-reprint from Guide to life blog

Ever heard the saying ‘He is a big fish in a little pond’ well a lot of people are under the misconception they hold a lot more power than they do.

Psst don’t tell anyone but you actually don’t have any power at all other than that you have over your own thoughts and actions. Sad but true we all have free will and no one can control another person or the world in which they live. Oh we can create the illusion of power but that’s all it is an illusion.



We can give people the… Continue

Training for Parents of Children Challenged with ADHD

By Elaine Lerner, MSW, CSW





After the diagnosis of ADHD or Autism, parents often call me feeling overwhelmed when trying to understand how to put together a plan to manage their child's needs. ADHD or Autism can best be managed through a combination of modalities including but not limited to medical and behavioral management treatments. Parents interact with their children on a daily basis and are at the "Point of Performance" where… Continue

A Whole New Mind

I just wanted to recommend to all educators this wonderful and inciteful book. It was recommended to me by a colleague and it's my turn to pass it on. It is "A Whole New Mind" by Daniel Pink. It talks about the right-brainers and how now it is there time. It makes so much sense and it will awaken that side of your brain and make you aware of how this could and should affect education.

I have a new awareness and support of what I believe in. Definitely a must read.

Science cannot be secret!

In a recent contribution to the growth/value-added discussion on the DATAG listserv, it was stated that "We invite comment from any of our DATAG Colleagues but are especially interested in the opinions of our resident statisticians." The arc of this discussion is exactly what I had feared - and predicted in my initial posting on May 31.



It runs like this: Growth and value-added models are extremely technical. Here, try to read these extremely technical articles. If you do not… Continue

Civics 101: What Are We Teaching Our Children?

There is a website I've been made aware of called Our Courts located at: http://www.ourcourts.org/ It was a project created with the help of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to help children learn about their government, its history, and the importance of being a good citizen. Why is this important today? I just learned that one can spend almost two hours trying to obtain signatures from party members to place candidates on a ballot for a primary, where… Continue

Accountability Grows Up?

The Capital Region BOCES recently sponsored a useful conference entitled Ready, Set, Grow!: School Improvement through Value-Added Analysis. Value-Added is clearly an idea whose time has come, and the conference was co-sponsored by the New York State School Boards Association, the New York State Council of School Superintendents, and the School Administrators Association of New York State. If you looked in the eyes of the attendees - it was a crowded house - there was a mixture of… Continue

Trail Blazing.....

Trail Blazing...



In reference to computer technology, it seems to me that those born before 1970 are the tourists and those born after 1970 are the natives in the land of hardware and software applications. Maybe, for the first time in history the tourists are teaching the natives...maybe not? Let's leave it up for discussion.

No matter how you feel about it, computer technology and its companion, the steady increase in information, have been invading society for nearly 4… Continue

Reflections on the Special Education Snapshot

I imagine it will be anti-climatic when the bureaucratic button is finally pushed to close Part I of this year's biggest data drama. The Special Education Snapshot is - or will soon be - done.



For those of you who will not start watching until Season Two, the special education snapshot - or the annual count of all New York State students who receive special education services as of the first school day in December - was reported this year, not through aggregate counts, but via… Continue

Teacher Tenure and Student Data

Chapter 57 of the Laws of 2007 stipulates that New York State teachers cannot be awarded tenure unless they successfully use student performance data (including, but not limited to, performance on state assessments) to guide their instruction. A 2008 amendment to Chapter 57 prohibits districts from using test scores to evaluate teachers, while maintaining the requirement that teachers use test scores to improve instruction.



School districts must therefore provide teachers with… Continue

What's Going On....

Every Now and then I stand back and take a look at what's going on in the world.



The world is changing rapidly!



We are living in the information age. Technology has once again forged its way into our homes, our schools, and the workplace. We have become digitized, virtual, distant, and “real.” The question we must ask ourselves is, “How do we continue to develop as a society within the realms of this revolution?”



Everyone is a pioneer. Our familiarity with life… Continue
