Book excerpt: Educating dual language learners (DLLs) and English learners (ELs) effectively is a national challenge with consequences both for individuals and for American society. Despite their linguistic, cognitive, and social potential, many ELsâ€"who account for more than 9 percent of enrollment in grades K-12 in U.S. schoolsâ€"are struggling to meet the requirements for academic success, and their prospects for success in postsecondary education and in the workforce are jeopardized as a result. Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English: Promising Futures examines how evidence based on research relevant to the development of DLLs/ELs from birth to age 21 can inform education and health policies and related practices that can result in better educational outcomes. This report makes recommendations for policy, practice, and research and data collection focused on addressing the challenges in caring for and educating DLLs/ELs from birth to grade 12.

Matthew Johnson offers classroom-tested solutions that not only alleviate the feedback-burnout cycle, but also lead to significant growth for students. These time-saving strategies built on best practices for feedback help to improve relationships, ignite motivation, and increase student ownership of learning. Flash Feedback also takes teachers to the next level of strategic feedback by sharing: How to craft effective, efficient, and more memorable feedback Strategies for scaffolding students through the meta-cognitive work necessary for real revision A plan for how to create a culture of feedback, including lessons for how to train students in meaningful peer response Downloadable online tools for teacher and student use Moving beyond the theory of working smarter, not harder, Flash Feedback works deeper by developing practices for teacher efficiency that also boost effectiveness by increasing students’ self-efficacy, improving the clarity of our messages, and ultimately creating a classroom centered around meaningful feedback.

Download or read book Undergraduate Research in Mass Media UgRIMM 2021 written by Dr. Manjula Srinivas and published by Shineeks Publishers. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researching and obtaining new information is a very crucial part of a wandering mind. Neil Armstrong very aptly said, “Researching is the process to create new knowledge.” It helps an individual in broadening their intellect base which in turn makes them a well-adjusted and informed member of society. This compilation titled ‘UgRIMM-2021’ is an effort by the department of Mass Media under the guidance of our dear Principal Dr.HemlataBagla to instill research value at an undergraduate level. It is a one-of-a-kind Research initiative that took place with the help of multiple online training sessions by in-house as well as external faculty. One hundred and thirty research papers were penned down independently by our second-year undergraduate students of the BAMMC course. Our main objective with UgRIMM was to instill a sense of curiosity and comfort surrounding the word ‘research’ instead of the telltale uncertainty students feel when the word is brought up. Our approach towards research coupled with frequent interactive sessions with experts in the field of research aimed to make our students better at the prospects of researching and writing research papers.

Download or read book Evaluating the Impact of COVID 19 on NSW Schools written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students and teachers in NSW government primary schools. In 2020, schools in 190 systems around the globe moved to a period of learning from home due to the pandemic. These school closures represent unprecedented disruption to teaching and learning for billions of students. Speculation about the impact of COVID-19 and learning from home on student academic achievement has been widespread, relying heavily on evidence from previous crisis situations. As a result, we've seen school systems and governments draw on estimations based on modelling from international, short-term, small-scale disruptions to schooling caused by dramatic events, such as natural disasters and school shootings. However, the size and scale of disruption caused by COVID-19 is truly unprecedented and cannot be directly compared with these earlier accounts. To date, there has been little empirical evidence of what actually happened to student achievement during the closedown period. [Publisher summary, ed]
