This is the second of a two-part conversation with Michael Barbour, one of the most cited researchers in K-12 distance and online learning. Michael is assistant dean for academic innovation and integration at Touro University California, and has spent nearly three decades studying the design, delivery, and support of K-12 distance, online, and blended learning — as well as the policy and governance structures that shape it. If you haven't listened to part one yet, start there.In this episode, we examine an assumption that surfaced repeatedly during the pandemic: that because distance learning has been around for decades, schools should have been ready. Michael has the data on why they weren't — and why, despite a global wake-up call, most still aren't. The numbers are striking: less than 10% of teacher preparation programs included any meaningful content on K-12 online learning even after COVID. And as Michael makes clear, the next disruption — whether pandemic, weather event, or political unrest — is not a question of if, but when.From there, the conversation takes a surprising turn. Michael shares a counterintuitive research finding: students who had K-12 online learning experience actually performed worse as online learners at the university level — and he unpacks exactly why that happened and what it reveals about the difference between synchronous and asynchronous program design. He also walks through one of the most compelling real-world models of synchronous distance learning in K-12 — the Center for Distance Learning and Innovation in Newfoundland — and what it would actually take to replicate that kind of intentional design at scale."Every single one of your listeners, unless they plan on retiring in the next year or two, will likely experience another regional or global pandemic. And that's just on the pandemic side." — Michael BarbourTopics covered:~1:30 — Bridging policy, pedagogy, and technology: why hopes and prayers aren't a strategy~3:20 — What the National Education Technology Plans have been saying since 1996~4:20 — The teacher preparation gap: the numbers before, during, and after COVID~7:20 — The history of pandemics and why every educator needs distance learning skills~13:20 — A counterintuitive finding: why K-12 online experience made university online learners worse~19:20 — Synchronous vs. asynchronous design and the CDLI model~28:20 — Why distance learning matters for every educator, not just virtual school teachersLinks and resources:MichaelBarbour.com - all of Michael's researchA Vision for K-12 Online and Blended Learning in Teacher Education — the teacher preparation work referenced in this episodePart 1 of this conversation is available now — start there if you haven't already.Discover more virtual learning opportunities at CILC.org with hosts Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell.Seth Fleischauer's Banyan Global Learning combines live virtual field trips with international student collaborations for a unique K12 global learning experience.

The Department of Education has had over 40 years to prove its worth, yet student achievement continues to decline while bureaucracy grows. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano debunks the fearmongering surrounding its potential elimination and exposes who truly benefits from the status quo. He breaks down how education can be reformed to focus on students, not bureaucrats, and why returning power to parents and local communities is essential. It's time for a real conversation about fixing our failing education system—because the future of our children depends on it. Episode Highlights: • Debunking the fearmongering – What the Department of Education actually does vs. what critics claim. • Who benefits from the status quo? – The role of teachers' unions, bureaucrats, and activist agendas. • Real education reform – How to create a student-focused system that prioritizes learning over politics.

It's been nearly five years since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted learning for children. New data known as the Nation's Report Card shows that across the nation, fourth and eighth graders in 2024 still performed below pre-pandemic levels. That's also true for Minnesota. Across the state, students' test scores did not significantly change from two years prior. The last time the test was conducted in 2022, students around the country showed steep learning losses from the pandemic. Many experts had hoped to see students rebounding from some of those losses in 2024. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which provides data for the Nation's Report Card, is mandated by Congress and is the largest nationally-representative test of student learning. The assessments in math and reading are given every two years to a broad sample of students in fourth and eighth grade.For more on these results and what they might mean for Minnesota's students, MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Julio Caésar, executive director or research, evaluation and assessment for Bloomington Public Schools.

In this episode of the Learning Can't Wait podcast, host Hayley Spira-Bauer welcomes back Dr. Kelsey Young, Associate Director of Research Insights and Analytics at Curriculum Associates. Together, they dive into the latest research reports released by Curriculum Associates, including data from i-Ready that reveals significant insights into student academic performance post-pandemic. Dr. Young discusses the ongoing challenges of student recovery, highlighting that many students are still not performing at pre-pandemic levels, with younger students being disproportionately affected. The conversation explores the national implications of these findings, the emotional toll on educators, and the need for continued intervention, despite funding challenges. Dr. Young emphasizes the importance of targeted interventions, such as phonics-based reading instruction and high-dosage tutoring, and shares the nuanced data about how specific subpopulations, especially vulnerable students, have been impacted. As they dissect the complexities of educational recovery, they also offer practical advice for school leaders and educators on how to use this data to make informed decisions moving forward. Tune in to hear Dr. Young's expert perspective on what schools and policymakers can do to address the gaps and continue to support student learning, even in the face of limited resources.

Michigan has made progress addressing teacher shortages in hard-to-fill subjects and specialties within the past five years, the State Board of Education announced. Since the 2017-18 school year, the number of certified teachers teaching math jumped 60%, 31% for science, and 53% for English as a Second Language and bilingual education. The number of early childhood education teachers increased by 171%.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/article_4cd8ecfe-5b2f-11ef-86c7-971f392b7983.html

#144What do you do with the information that you learn from the assessments that you give students? Even if we are talking about end–of-unit summative assessments we should look at the overall results and see if there are any changes we should make to instruction.  This is our own consistent way of doing action research in our classrooms.  In this episode, Wyatt Crane, a Spanish teacher in New York City, joins me to talk us through how he uses data from assessments (both formative and summative) to determine what is effective and what he may need to modify in his classroom teaching.Topics In This Episode:how Wyatt collects and analyzes student performance data in his language classroomthe tools and methods Wyatt finds most effective for this processhow student performance data influences Wyatt's instructional decisions and lesson planningexamples of when data prompted Wyatt to adjust his teachinghow to ensure that student performance data is used not just for assessment purposes, but also for fostering student growth and learninghow to tailor approaches to data analysis and interpretation to meet the individual needs of studentsConnect with Wyatt Crane:Twitter/X : @ElSenorCrane  Connect with Joshua and the World Language Classroom Community: wlclassrom.comX (aka Twitter):  @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomInstagram:  @wlclassroomFacebook:  /wlclassroomWLClassroom Facebook Group__________________________Interested in having Joshua work directly with your department, school or district?  Look at options for collaborating in person or remotely.______________________________Sign up for Talking Points to get  tips, tools and resources for your language teaching.______________________________Join Joshua as a guest on the podcast.______________________________Join Joshua for a Leveling Up Coaching Episode  on the podcast.

The largest school district in Texas lost its elected leaders in the summer of 2023. In their place – a state-appointed board along with a leader unafraid of creating upheaval and massive changes.It's unusual for school districts to lose local control, especially on a scale this large. Suddenly, the Houston Independent School District with its nearly 200,000 students and 11,000 teachers didn't know what would happen next. But the reforms came quickly.What led to the takeover and what's the impact of this whole-scale, test-based reform? We go back decades to understand how a history of high-stakes testing got us here. That pressure to perform trickles down to campus leaders and teachers, to students and their parents. The stakes mount as the takeover plays out and no school is left untouched.The Takeover is a seasonal podcast about power and public education. The first season captures 18 months of on-the-ground, neighborhood-level reporting, enterprising investigative work, and deep context about education policy and history from a range of expert researchers.

September 11, 2023 - New York students appear to have regressed following the state's use of remote and hybrid learning during the pandemic, prompting the National Parents Union - a parental choice organization that bills itself as a countervailing force to teachers unions - to call for new accountability measures, increased access to high-impact tutoring, and a more comprehensive approach to teaching math and reading. We spoke with Ashara Baker, New York state director for the organization.

Thomas Newman is a highly accomplished sports performance expert with over a decade of experience in the industry. He has a proven track record of optimizing athlete development and achieving winning results on the field. Newman's expertise and leadership skills were honed during his tenure as Director of Student Performance and Innovation at Yale University, where he oversaw all varsity teams and successfully created the first-ever partnerships with the School of Engineering, Medicine, and Public Health. As a result of these collaborations, a comprehensive custom-built digital player profiling platform was created for all 32 varsity teams, which was instrumental in achieving tremendous on-field success. At the time of this recording, Thomas was working for Hawkins Dynamics, an industry leader using force plate technology to assess human movement and optimize it to the fullest.Force plates are tools used for the measurement of ground reaction forces during walking, jumping, or any other type of movement - they can be thought of as "fancy bathroom scales" as coined by Dr. Jason Lake, world leading biomechanist.Not only are force plates extremely effective in creating winning professional teams (like Thomas has done), but Thomas is also using force plates to help augment the human performance of tactical teams and even law enforcement. We get into this technology and how agencies or users could benefit to not only create winning teams, tease out what takes an athlete from good to great, and how to build a more resilient operator that is less prone to injury and more durable in the long run. We also talk about Thomas' huge health scare, recovering from a brain tumor, how he triumphed, and his foundation, 40 Staples Strong  (https://40staplesstrong.com/) is making a difference from others suffering from this terrible condition.

In Michigan, local school district evaluations stated that there were only 165 teachers out of the 115,910 evaluated in 2021-22 that were found to be "inefficient." Statistically, that translated to 0%. In fact, 99% of all Michigan public school teachers last year were rated either as "highly efficient" or "efficient," the highest two of four evaluation categories. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michigan-in-focus/support

... and simple steps to help!You could argue positive results of context switching, especially if your brain naturally tends to jump steps in a process….. Hello gifted brains! But for the most part, multitasking has more negative results than positive because you're not fully focused on the task at hand. This means one task never gets the full creation process… just parts of it. Like only getting part of your amazon order and having to wait days for the rest. This mental effort can cost up to 40% of total productive time. This leaves only 60% or less for actually completing tasks. In terms of learning and developing, this means our students are wasting valuable brain energy just trying to understand what they are doing and how it should be done. So, what do we do? First, identify sources of context switching.Common sources include notifications, multiple open tabs or windows on a computer, or even being required to multitask. But, this doesn't just apply to technology. This can include hands-on tasks or activities.

On today's show, real and fictional man-made horrors, and veterans enlist in a culinary and creative arts residency. Plus, student performance letter grades from the Arkansas Department of Education.

As researchers study the success of students in active classrooms, they expose new questions to ask, they generate new data to analyze.  These data put classrooms implementing active learning practices under the microscope.  In looking closely at the details of implementation, researchers are now uncovering evidence of practices resulting in inequities, in some and perhaps most active learning environments.  In this episode, we talk with Dr. Daniel Reinholz about his classroom observational analytical tool, EQUIP, and discuss how Daniel and his co-authors have used this tool to identify inequities in classrooms, inequities that may underlie differences in student performance.  Fixing these inequities may not be hard, but one has to identify the problem first.  EQUIP may be one tool we all need.  

In today's episode, we speak with Pearce Miller, a culinary educator and entrepreneur, who is revolutionizing student-centric academic program models.Pearce has shaped the academic policy for several schools, improving retention and overall student performance. He has taught at the Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts, served as the President of the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, and filled the role of Vice President of Academics for Le Cordon Bleu.Listen as Pearce chats about developing new ways to connect with students in this new digital environment, hybrid education, and his personal teaching philosophy.

Standardized testing is a normal part of the school year, but what does this data really tell us about how children are performing? Today, Akilah Alleyne from the Center for American Progress, joins us to talk about standardized testing in local schools. Many families invest considerable time and money to make sure their student performs well on these college entrance exams, but several universities are doing away with requiring them for entry. Later, Scott Jaschik, Editor and Founder of Inside Higher Ed joins us to talk about this. First we talk to a Newtown CT resident about how the latest school shooting in Uvalde reignites the trauma felt by the community since 2012.

Riley Bowman brings onto the podcast for the first time Christopher Bean of Tactical Advantage to discuss something Chris is really passionate about--creating effective learning environments and fostering culture and community to massively impact student learning and performance. This is something that affects and can be applied by anyone in their respective circles of influence. But if you're an instructor or teacher of any kind, then this DEFINITELY applies to you, and you won't want to miss it!

In this episode of #Techitup Up Talk, Shirley Posey discusses enhancing academic performance through brain-based practices and how we can leverage technology to reimagine learning with innovative instruction. Shirley takes us on a deep dive into Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development, brain-based practices as an essential approach to developing students, and why it is imperative that educators cater to student needs of our time with technology.

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System consists of the following assessments: Smarter Balanced English language arts/literacy and mathematics (SBAC). California Alternate Assessments for English language arts, mathematics, and science (CAA) and California Science Tests (CAST). Chief Academic Officer Dave Meyer explains the primary purpose of the CAASPP System is to hold schools accountable, help shape instruction, and assist teachers in providing high-quality teaching and effective curriculum.

Summer school can be an opportunity for schools to mitigate learning loss and to provide teachers with job-embedded PD. A panel of educators joins us to share their experience implementing intensive sensory-cognitive literacy instruction—both in-person and online.  

I've seen this a million times.  A student's evaluation report shows average scores - maybe with a few relative weaknesses- but the student's performance in school is mediocre or worse.  Missing assignments, disciplinary actions, and bad grades demonstrate that the student isn't meeting his or her apparent potential in school.  Confidence wanes as the student becomes frustrated.  Why does this happen?  April Rehrig, advocate and licensed school psychologist, walks us through the reason this happens.  More importantly, April spends lots of time helping us navigate what to do about it!  How can we better assess students to make sure we understand how their disability will affect their school performance?  What tests should you request, and more!!!  you won't want to miss this super important episode!    

Elementary school students educated primarily online during the pandemic are falling behind by as much as an entire letter grade, according to a study delivered by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Brown University Professor of Economics Emily Oster says it's enough of an impact that policy makers need to consider student performance when making decisions on school closures.

A junior economist and doctoral student at the Ifo Center for the Economics of Education, Benjamin Arold, joins Paul E. Peterson to discuss Arold's research, which looks at the impact of the Common Core on subjects outside of math and reading. The paper, "The Unintended Effects of the Common Core State Standards on Non-Targeted Subjects," by Arold and M. Danish Shakeel, is available here: https://www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/Taubman/PEPG/research/PEPG21_03.pdf
