When children face pressure to learn to read early in kindergarten and run into trouble, will they be diagnosed with learning disabilities when they only need more time? Creating one-size-fits-all, high-stakes standardized tests demanding children read by first grade creates pressure on the child, genitore, and teacher. Higher-than-usual expectations have existed since 2001, and NCLB even before then. Few have questioned whether reading expectations are developmentally appropriate, and some may profit from the claim that children have reading problems when it could be that, with time, they read well. Oggi, we’re told children struggle to read because teachers haven’t taught correctly or public education fails. Tuttavia, examining this further, throughout the years, parents and educators have increasingly fallen in line with the outside school reforms to demand that kindergartners read con the same high-stakes standards by first grade. Raising expectations so high that many children won’t grasp the instruction and fail the tests, claiming public schools and teachers fail, is a way to erode teacher trust and drive parents out of their public schools. This is out of the privatization playbook. Who’s talking about the fact that, in 2014, il University of Virginia researchers ... Per saperne di più5 orario fa

- K-12 bullish as Canada seeks to rebuild reputationCanada’s school districts are feeling optimistic about the international education sector – despite the federal government imposing a cap on study permits for post-secondary students. Più di 300 representatives of 90 school districts attended the annual Canadian Association of Public Schools – International conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario, this week for professional development and networking. School districts are busy, said Bonnie McKie, executive director of CAPS-I. “Coming to Canada for K-12 is as popular as ever. Some programs are already full for September, while others still have some space available,” she told The PIE News. McKie is hopeful that the confusion caused by the cap is now in the past. “Although it didn’t directly impact the K-12 sector, it took a lot of time to explain to our partners abroad, including international agents, what it meant.” In order to cope with continued strong demand by students, districts across the country have stepped up efforts to recruit more homestay hosts; a large number quit during the pandemic. Mike Rosson and Jeff Holder of the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick programs urged attendees to put supports in place to ensure that new hosts stick with it – currently, a number of them ...
