Send us a textAir pollution is a big killer. Air pollution of all kinds helped kill 4.2 million people globally in 2019, according to the World Health Organization.It can damage nearly every organ in the body, worsening asthma and leading to cancer and heart disease. It especially affects pregnant women and can damage a growing fetus.Air pollution also has more insidious effects.Dr. Álvaro Hofflinger of Arizona State University and colleagues studied school children in a part of Chile where many people still rely on wood-burning stoves. They found the more air pollution children were exposed to, the lower their grades. It's another piece of evidence that can help parents, policymakers, officials, and health experts make decisions about where to focus their efforts in reducing pollution. In this episode of One World, One Health, host Maggie Fox chats with Dr. Hofflinger about what his team found, about the factors that cause this type of pollution, and what people might be able to do about it.They found it's not going to be such an easy problem to solve. Wood is cheap or free for many in parts of Chile, and electricity isn't. Old habits are hard to break. And clean energy is not always an uncomplicated choice for governments.  Give it a listen and check out some of our other episodes on air pollution and health.Learn from Dr. Sarah Chambliss about how people of color and in low resource neighborhoods are disproportionately affected by poor health due to pollution.Find out about the association between air pollution, depression, and pregnancy in our episode with Dr. Jun Wu. 

Japan's education ministry said Monday that it plans to make its national achievement test for junior high school third-graders and elementary school sixth-graders fully online, starting in fiscal 2027.

Why Dads Are Important1.              School Achievement.  Grades are better when dd is around.2.              The 3 Rs. The more involved his dad is, the more significant the boy's increase in verbal intelligence and the better both boys' and girls' math and quantitative abilities are.3.              School Dropout Rates. The more years children spend with no or minimal father involvement, the fewer years of school they complete.4.              Employment. While boys from two-parent homes are two times more likely to be employed as young adults.5.              Suicide. Living in a home without a dad correlates more with suicide among children and teenagers than any other factor.6.              Drugs. Father involvement is at least five times more important in preventing drugs than any other influence. In addition, it is a more potent determining factor than the child's gender, ethnicity, or social class.7.              Homelessness. Around 90 percent of runaways and homeless youths are from fatherless homes.8.              Bullying. The American Psychological Association found in its 153 studies that father absence predicts the profile of both the bully and the bullied: poor self-esteem, poor grades, and poor social skills.9.              Victimization. Children between ten and seventeen living without their biological dad were likelier to be victims of child abuse, significant violence, sexual assault, and domestic violence.10.       Violent Crimes. Every 1 percent increase in fatherlessness in a neighborhood predicts a 3 percent increase in adolescent violence.11.           Rape. Among rapists specifically assessed as raping out of anger or rage, 85percent came from father-absent homes.12.           Power and Mobility. Children born poor and raised by both married parents have an 80 percent chance of moving into the middle class or above; conversely, children born into the middle class and raised without a married dad were almost four times more likely to end up less fortunate.13.           Trust. The more contact children have with their dads, the more quickly they make open, receptive, and trusting contact with new people in their lives.14.       Empathy. The amount of time a father spends with a child is one of the strongest predictors of the child's ability to empathize in adulthood.[i] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25518696/Source: The Boy Crisis  Check out the blog

In episode 16, Chris and Emma were joined by Dr. Shelagh Gallagher, for a discussion of overexcitability (OE) and openness to experience (OtE), based on her paper which compares the two frameworks. Shelagh is an independent consultant in gifted education and President-Elect of the National Association for Gifted Children. We discussed the controversy in the field of gifted education about OE and OtE, and the value both frameworks can provide in informing us about the gifted student experience in education. We talked about the impact and difference having multiple OEs can have in a person’s life, and Shelagh shared insights from her research and pointed out directions for future work in gifted populations. Shelagh will be a keynote speaker at the 2022 Dabrowski Congress and will be talking about contemplations on overexcitabilities.Resources mentioned in this episodeOpenness to Experience and Overexcitabilities in a Sample of Highly Gifted Middle School Students by Shelagh GallagherBuilding Bridges: Research on Gifted Children's Personalities from Three Psychological Theories by Shelagh Gallagher24-item Overexcitability QuestionnaireA Comparison of the Concept of Overexcitabilities with Measures of Creativity and School Achievement in Sixth-Grade Students by Shelagh GallagherCreative Personality Characteristics and Dimensions of Mental Functioning in Gifted Adolescents by Shirley SchieverThe 15th International Dabrowski Congress agenda and registrationShelagh’s websiteNAGC This is a public episode.

In this interview with Dr. Scoresby, he talks about how schools as social institutions connect with and influence families. Parents are concerned about the learning opportunities and experiences their children are getting from their schools, and schools are concerned with the lack of preparation in many of the children who are coming to the schools. Dr. Scoresby provides some practical ways parents can become more informed and involved with their children’s school experience so they can coordinate the good things kids are doing at school with what they experience at home.

HOME SCHOOLING HAS IMPACT AND PROVIDES A QUALITY EDUCATION

On today's podcast, we're looking at the gradeless movement. There's a lot to be debated in the education system, but I'm hard-pressed to find a topic so steeped in research as this one. Whether it be motivation, willingness to learn, and even traditional test scores, not giving a grade shows improvement across the board.There's countless research articles, books, podcasts, psychologists, education experts, and more writing and studying the effects of grades. And every single time, whether it be 1850 or 2019, it seems to support the same outcome:Grades diminish motivation and do little to actually provide feedback for students to improve.If there is research that supports grades, it's stating that they improve standardized test scores, not necessarily motivate or improve student outcomes.I challenge you to find data that supports otherwise. I say that not out of spite for those who disagree with the practice, but because I'm genuinely curious if there is any. This appears to be one of these things that's "common sense."People have thought this way for awhile, even back in Dewey and Thorndike's time. Ironically, grades were intentionally brought into schools as a way to show student growth overtime - a way to open up dialogue between teacher and student - but they've done the exact opposite. Essentially, grades are a shortcut that communicates pass or failure, with many students seeing anything under an A as "failure." And those at the bottom, who receive an "F", are pushed out of our schools - rank and filed to be the "losers" of the education system.But there's a lot of barriers to best practice, and going gradeless isn't easy. Many districts have gradebook requirements, whether that be simply just giving a kid a grade or even requiring a grade per week. And therefore, many don't even attempt "the impossible." I'm here (with our guests) to show that it is possible! There are educators throughout the world "going gradeless" even in traditional systems. Of course there are various degrees of making this happen, but going as far as possible within one's district for the benefit of their students is worthwhile.GUESTS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCEJeffery Frieden, an English educator at Hillcrest High School in Corona, California, and founder of Make Them Master It, an organization aimed at connecting teachers to mastery-based practice and identifying teacher struggle through a podcast, book, and blogs.Aaron Blackwelder, an English educator in Woodland Public Schools in Woodland, Washington, and founder of Teachers Going Gradeless, an organization aimed at providing resources and connecting educators who diminish or eliminate the use of extrinsic motivators.Nick Covington, a Social Studies educator at Ankeny High School in Ankeny, Iowa, who promotes progressive education in his own practice including developing portfolio-based gradeless assessments.RESOURCESMake Them Master ItTeachers Going GradelessAaron Blackwelder’s Feedback ReportAaron Blackwelder’s Soft Skills RubricRedefining Quality: Working Towards New Measures of School Achievement by Aaron BlackwelderThe End of Average by Todd RoseNick Covington’s MediumNick Covington’s Economics Evidence JournalGrading =/ Assessment HumResPro ResourceFURTHER LISTENINGS2: E18: Innovating Education w/ Dr. Tony Wagner: S2: E16: Restoring Humanity: Assessment (Gradeless Learning) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
