The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is a hot topic. ESSA is intended to ensure that all students receive a high-quality education that prepares them for long-term success, and includes a repeal of the Adequate Yearly Progress report in favor of state accountability. With every state having their own plan for ESSA, it is hard to know how to get started. We're here to help! In this podcast, you will learn how to find out the accountability requirements of your state, how to obtain funding for your school or district, and much more.Additional topics include:How ESSER funding relates to COVID-Relief bills (CARES ACT, CARES Supplemental ACT, and the American Rescue Plan)The part Title 1 plays in ESSAWays schools can use funds to address issues brought on by the pandemicAdditional funding optionsWhere to go if you have questions

Yes, it feels good to be viewed as a rockstar, superhero teacher. But the image of the super teacher can create unrealistic and ultimately harmful expectations. Join us for a look at why we need to shatter the myth of the superhero teacher for our wellbeing and the betterment of our students. Follow on Twitter: @RoxannaElden @jonHarper70bd @froehlichm @bamradionetwork Roxanna Elden’s teacher advice book, See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers, has long been a staple in many school districts and training programs. Her recently released novel, Adequate Yearly Progress, follows several teachers as their professional lives impact their personal lives and vice versa. (Washington Post calls it “a funny but insightful look at teachers in the workplace… reminiscent of the TV show The Office, but set in an urban high school.”)

The smartest book Have You Heard has encountered on the limits of school reform in ages is a novel. Roxanna Elden's hilarious and pointed Adequate Yearly Progress is packed with real insights into what self-styled education reformers miss about the complex ecosystems of schools, and the complicated lives of teachers. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll buy the book!

Author Roxanna Elden discusses her new satirical novel Adequate Yearly Progress, which tells the story of the teachers' lives across one year in the fictional Texas high school of Brae Hill Valley. Roxanna's book draws on her own experience as a K-12 public school teacher and her conversations with other teachers around the country. Roxanna says that past portrayals of teachers in popular media can be very unrealistic, and her book is meant to challenge that.

What if the hit tv show "The Office" took place at a school? That's what you may think as you read Roxanna Elden's book, "Adequate Yearly Progress". Elden's new book, which will release August 1, tells the story of educators in a struggling urban high school in Texas. The novel is an honest and humorous portrayal of the day to day life of teachers and administrators. Many teachers are familiar with Elden's first book, "See Me After Class" which was published back in 2013. Elden wrote "See Me After Class" about her teaching challenges, with the hopes of inspiring other educators to push through some of the obstacles they encounter. One hurdle Elden says teachers struggle with is the disillusionment phase, which usually hits teachers head-on in October. "Adequate Yearly Progress" is different from "See Me After Class" in that it's a novel. Since writing "See Me After Class," Elden had been challenging her students to write a draft for their own novel. But those same students turned the table and challenged her to accomplish the same. The ultimate result is "Adequate Yearly Progress". Elden, currently lives in Miami but decided to set the book in Texas. A setting that was inspired by the fact that Elden started her teaching career in Houston. "There's something about Texas that has really stuck with me. I'm originally from Chicago, so there were a lot of things that I noticed about the culture there and the way that people interacted with each other, that I was seeing that as a newcomer," says Elden. "It just has a place in my heart to this day." To hear more about Elden's new book, listen to Episode 60 of the Class Dismissed Podcast on your favorite podcast app or iTunes. All Rights Reserved.

Tapteal is a 550-student center of community life that defies any notion that some kids can’t become good readers. In 2010, the state acknowledged the success of its hardworking principal, Rhonda Pratt, and her staff with a Title I Distinguished School for Reading award. It’s not an easy award to get. Schools must meet Adequate Yearly Progress for two or more years in a row and be able to prove that what they’re doing is closing the achievement gap. The same year, the state also handed Tapteal a Title I Academic Achievement Award for reading strategies that get results. The secret of Tapteal’s bold success lies somewhere within the remarkable balance teachers create between nurture, innovation and research-based best practices.

What is autism and what is the latest information on Autism? Learn about the latest evidence-based research on Autism. What range of behaviors would an autistic student exhibit?

This webinar will cover autism and the behaviors exhibited by autistic children. We will look at the characteristics that are displayed by autistic students and how you can support these students in your district. What interventions could be available to these students in your district? How can early intervention with these students impact the quality of their education and ultimately their day to day lives?

Find out how brain research was put into practice at the Westfield-Washington School District in Westfield, Indiana where students are demonstrating great gains in individual performance. Students showed advancement of 1 year, 1 month using the Fast ForWord programs with an average use of 70 days for 30 minutes a day. 1552 students moved from the 37th percentile to the 61st percentile within an average of 74 days. More than half of the struggling learners moved up at least one level toward proficiency. Through the use of individualized, adaptive computer exercises, actual physical changes occur in the brain--enhancing skills necessary for reading and learning.

As our understanding of how people's brains work and how people learn has improved through neuroscience and cognitive science research over the years, we now see that the way we typically teach and test often doesn't match up well with how individual students learn. Using the theory of disruptive innovation, which describes how products or services that offer simplicity, affordability, and convenience transform a market that was previously dominated by complicated, expensive, and inaccessible ones, Michael Horn will describe how online learning is disrupting our notion of a classroom and how it offers the possibility of moving toward a student-centric learning system that is much more focused on different people's distinct learning needs.

The New Science of Learning is being created by the rapid growth in our scientific understanding of brain development and plasticity. Some recent research findings will be reviewed. The presentation will also review how neuroscience can be applied to the development of training tools that can help enhance literacy and learning in students.

David Boulton discusses the Children of the Code Project and how children learn.

Dr. Michael Merzenich will discuss how his research in brain plasticity can ultimately affect student performance.

Dr. Paula Tallal will discuss her over 40 years of research in neuroscience and how this research can be applied to the classroom to help your struggling students.

Crime does not pay! Worried teaching tech skills might open doors to nefarious activities? This creative internetter used Craigslist to create a caper outside a bank in Washington. A suspect is in custody. Bonus points for creativity, not so much for community service content. Considering the recent economy let me also add this: Don't do this at home. 6. We've compared education and technology to the RIAA and piracy laws. Here's another take on that conversation for your perusal. 7. The MacArthur Foundation is spending $50 million dollars on a 5 year study seeking to understand digital life and youth. Three years of the study are reported out in Living and Learning with New Media: Summary of the Findings from the Digital Youth Project. Read about the study here in the New York Times article. We might pull this for discussion in a future podcast. 8. What if we thought of internet access like water, gas, electricity and other utilities? Will Richardson has found an interesting quote from a future Obama official concerning the regulation of the internet and increasing availability in communities across the country. As proposed, the deregulation would increase competition and lower price making it more available to households. 9. Quote for the week: "In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists." - Eric Hoffer http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/index.cfm? i=56127 Wagner said the problem is that you can have all the equipment and technology you want, but "if you don't teach kids how to think, how to think beyond multiple choice, you've got a problem." "I realize education is a very risk-averse sector," said Wagner, "but assessments either drive instruction for the better or for the worse, and right now in the U.S., it's for the worse. If our assessments measured performance and 21st-century skills, like the European PISA assessment, that would be another story." "They're multi-taskers, they are drawn to graphics, they like instant gratification, they use Web 2.0 tools to create, and they love collaboration," he said. "If we can figure out how to grab their interest in learning, they'll become great thinkers and be eager to learn the basics." Wagner presented a list of seven "survival skills" that students need to succeed in today's information-age world, taken from his book The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don't Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need--And What We Can do About It. It's a school's job to make sure students have these skills before graduating, he said: 1. Problem-solving and critical thinking; 2. Collaboration across networks and leading by influence; 3. Agility and adaptability; 5. Effective written and oral communication; "We are making [Adequate Yearly Progress] at the expense of failing our kids at life. Something has to change," he concluded.
