Chicago Public Schools’ Post

Soon, the comparison would start Parents shouting at their children because of their performance in the recently completed examination, you will hear words like: ABC came first in your class, does he have 2 heads? XYZ won all the prices again, and you are older than her LMN came to the top of the class again, you should be ashamed. etc But we don't know that the parent of ABC spends at least one hour with him every day to ensure he reads his books. The parents of XYZ paid for after-school hours teaching and followed up to ensure their daughter was learning as she should The parent of LMN speaks positively to her child every morning and is always there to offer encouragement when the child does not do well in her continuous assessment. If you think you are going to raise a superstar without getting involved, you are just dreaming.

High-quality pre-K plays a critical role in closing the opportunity gap while raising achievement for all learners. When children start school without important skills, it becomes harder for them to achieve their potential without considerable intervention. These challenges can often lead children to face more severe issues, such as being retained in a grade, experiencing discipline troubles, or failing to finish high school.

LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER! DIR 320: DIR in Schools is BEGINNING TOMORROW! Register Here: https://lnkd.in/erq9XMeS DIR in Schools is a 3-hour live online course focused on creative ways to implement DIRFloortime in the school setting. This course will be led by two of our DIRFloortime Experts from the Rebecca School and Bank Street College of Education. Now more than ever, the principles of DIRFloortime can be useful to teachers and school personnel to support students learning. Learning can only happen if teachers and school staff support a student’s functional emotional developmental capacities (FEDCs) and when students are respected in meaningful co-regulating relationships. This course will provide instruction on how to use DIRFloortime in a school setting to support successful teaching and learning. Pre-requisite: At least DIR 101 is highly recommended.

We must do all that we can as adults to allow for all children to become successful readers! Center for the Collaborative Classroom #literacy "This year, I am teaching SIPPS Plus to a class of 30 students who range between first and fifth grade. Within this class, students are further divided into three flexible ability groups based on how they are progressing through the mastery tests. Students in each group fall within a different sub-section of SIPPS Plus and receive targeted instruction each day." https://lnkd.in/eEuxxR5H

I think all kindergartens, primary and secondary education systems of the underdeveloped and developing countries should incorporate life skills such as cleaning, cooking and other household chores in their school curriculum and then articulate and implement it in a safe and ethically accurate manner. Having done this will prepare the kids and children to live happily in any complex situation and life as our world is changing rapidly and implementing these practical life lessons help children become independent and resilient. Learning by doing and active learning is something that past and contemporary education thinkers put forward and advocate for as they experienced, experiment and wrote extensively about it. Today's children in schools (K-12) prefer and prioritize hands-on activities and active learning over lengthy explanations and lectures which do not include practical and learning engagement activities

Secondary School Specialists - have you noticed that some members of staff are very aware that today is Friday? And not just for the usual reasons (phew!) but because they are planning to offer subtle additional support for pupils who may struggle at weekends. This is particularly true of some Form Tutors who will ensure that those pupils know that a warm greeting will be waiting on Monday morning. School leaders: is such awareness down to Form Tutor training, 'natural' empathy or experience? Is this the exception or the norm in your school?

Did you know that there are thirteen different “disabilities” that allow a student to be eligible for an IEP (Individualized Education Program)? For students living with #Duchenne, two of the most common qualifiers are “other health impairment” and/or “orthopedic impairment.” Many students living with Duchenne also qualify in additional categories. Having an IEP in place at school can help students living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy have the BEST school experience possible. #IEP #duchenne #musculardystrophy #school #education #bestdayever

Our latest school blog 💫 What's different in a prep school? In England, most children will attend either a primary or preparatory school (prep school) for the first years of their formal education. There are currently just under 25,000 primary schools and over 500 prep schools in the country. So what are the key differences between the two types of schools? Many of us will be familiar with the term ‘Preparatory school’, but what exactly is a prep school and how do children benefit from an education within one?
