* David Waldman returns for a second consecutive day to KITM World Headquarters. He hasn't changed out of his speedo and sunglasses yet, but I believe he'll stick around for the week. Alabama shows our country hasn't changed… It certainly shows that it plans to stay Alabama as long as possible and ignore SCOTUS in order to keep its 1in 4 Black population at 1 in 7 representation. Over in Virginia however, Arlington Public Schools won't comply with their state's anti-trans school board policy. Billionaire graft with Supreme Court Justices isn't just handy for the legal favors, you know. Harlan Crow has turned his court bribes into a successful tax scam on the side. That's billionaire business school 101. Oh, look at the time! House Republicans realized summer break is about here, so they plan to get 12 appropriations bills and an impeachment or two through before Friday. Unfortunately, those Republicans have will have to contend with the other Republicans in the Senate. DC is at peak chaos and destruction. Time to bring in Joan McCarter to call the shit show. Kevin McCarthy thinks he can be flexible, but he will never bend over far enough for the Freedom Caucus. And, they haven't even begun to self-destruct on abortion and all things sexual.

As Henrico's education reporter, I want to cover a variety of topics, including racial and socioeconomic equity, safety in schools,...Article LinkSupport the show

Arlington Public Schools administrators are pushing to eliminate the distinction between standard and honors level classes at Arlington High School. They want to combine the two levels and call them honors as a way to promote equity and inclusion. While supporters of “heterogeneous grouping” have research that positively supports this merge, not all students are on board with this idea... Should academic class levels be a thing of the past?

This week, Chris interviews Shawnda Saul, an SLP and AAC Specialist who runs the Learning Language AAC Initiative for Arlington Public Schools. Chris and Shawnda discuss how she promotes modeling and language instruction in the classroom, her approach to coaching communication partners, the changes she has seen coaching families during distance learning, and more!   Before the interview, Chris and Rachel talk about rethinking how we educate students. Teaching is still thought of as presenting information to a class from the front of the classroom and having students spit that information back on a test. For example, math instruction often has students memorize formulas and complete worksheets, even if they have dyscalculia. Chris demonstrates how we can better ground learning in functional problems, like discussing planting lettuce as a way to understand the concept of perimeters.    Key ideas this week:

At this debate, hosted by the Arlington Committee of 100, the six candidates for County Board and School Board in the 2017 general election clashed on a range of issues, from how to engage more millennials in county government to closing the achievement gap in Arlington Public Schools.

Monique O'Grady describes herself as just a "regular Arlington resident." But this regular resident just beat out several candidates, including incumbent James Lander, in the Democratic school board endorsement caucus. O'Grady, a mother of one current Arlington Public Schools student and two APS graduates (one of whom happens to be a well-known actress), says she wants to make a difference on the school board and help APS navigate its current period of rapid student enrollment growth.
