It's not the algebra that's tripping up students — it's the teaching

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/readersreact/la-ol-le-algebra-community-college-20170721-story.html

The truth is that many math faculty are hired solely for their subject knowledge and not their teaching expertise. The results are classes that lack the cultural competence to make math relevant to students, who are instead made to feel dumb.
This problem goes much deeper than students of color not being able to pass intermediate algebra. To fully address the problem requires changes in teaching practices, insisting on unbiased, quality teaching, and reforming hiring practices to reflect the unique diversity of our students.

Betsy DeVos Urges States to Take Reins on K-12 Policy

http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/campaign-k-12/2017/07/betsy_devos_denver.html?cmp=SOC-EDIT-FB

At a conference of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos encouraged states to take the lead in creating new, more-flexible education policies and pledged that the U.S. Department of Education would focus on clearing away regulations and obstacles to state autonomy.

Next Schoolyear: Soundtrack of Our Classroom

 

Using Music in the Elementary Classroom (Warning: It May Get Loud)

http://www.edutopia.org/blog/music-recommendations-elementary-gaetan-pappalardo 

I like classical quite a bit for background.

Here are some of my choices.:

Antonio Vivaldi

Four Seasons ~ Vivaldi 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxofEmo3HA 

Beethoven's 5th Symphony

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4IRMYuE1hI

TEOC - Symphony No. 06 - Beethoven | Full Length 45 Minutes 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O1D1zuvWic 

Symphony No. 9 ~ Beethoven 
Ludwig Van Beethoven

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3217H8JppI 

Mozart - Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550 [complete] 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTc1mDieQI8 

 

Wolfgang Mozart

 

Mozart Flute & Harp Concerto C major K 299 Neville Marriner RTSI 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMIzC9CzVUQ 

Mozart Piano Concerto No.21 in C major, 'Elvira Madigan' K.467

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1bMPi2aw1A 

It is my opinion that listening to Bach's Brandenburg Concertos  is truly 'busy bee' motivation, but the students generally like Beethoven the best.

Johan Sebastian Bach

 

J.S. Bach Brandenburg Concertos, Complete, Ton Koopman

Nature, My Garden, and Me: Bee Brunch


This fruit station was actually set up for butterflies, but my illustrious bees found it first. Slices of oranges, apples and banana attract several insects and I plan to add a little Orange Tang to the sponge. The apple has been there for a day and is probably making hard cider by now. 

That shot of the apple with several bees looks like a pub in Sam Adams' day! The rocks in the bird bath look like the bees having a holiday at the river. Bees don't swim well and need traction to get a drink on a summer's day. 

This is our Butterfly Garden in the High Desert of SoCal.

What Should Special Education Teachers Know and Be Able to Do?

http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/speced/2017/07/special_education_high_leverage_practices.html?cmp=SOC-EDIT-FB

A newly-minted special education teacher should be able to:
  • "collaborate with professionals to increase student success,"
  • "use multiple sources of information" to understand a student's strengths and needs, and
  • "systematically design instruction toward specific learning goals." 
These skills are among 22 "high-leverage practices" for special education teachers that were developed by the Council for Exceptional Children and the federally-supported Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability and Reform, also known as CEEDAR.

Next Schoolyear...we'll have a healthier classroom


This schoolyear teachers, students, and families are faced with serious communicable health risks to every generation. The first precaution is timely and appropriate vaccinations. Then, teachers (and families) should provide healthy environments and experiences so students and staff are less likely to fall victim to this year's serious round of infectious diseases. Influenza is serious this year. Whooping Cough has made a comeback, with Measles coming right behind. When watching the news, its like a movie and you expect Dustin Hoffman to appear in full hazmat suit, particularly when patient zero spreads measles from Disneyland. What's a teacher to do?

Nature, My Garden and Me: Our Hummingbird Loving the Newest Flowers



Our hummingbird enjoying latest floral additions to the new flower beds in the Butterfly Garden: snapdragons and gazanias. We aim to please, Miss Hummingbird! We also have oleander, petunia, lantana, salvia and hanging hummingbird feeders. 

But our vibrant hummingbird community (which nests in our fruitless mulberry tree), checks out all flowers, even the sunflowers, which are not their traditional source of nectar. 

This is a Teaching Garden in the Mojave Desert of SoCal. The new flower bed is still very sandy, but as mulch is added every year, the active groups of biodegraders--especially earthworms--continue to enrich the soil, and the plants, trees, shrubs and flowers help solve the erosion problem of the hillside location of the Garden.

Encouraging good judgement in students

https://npjscilearncommunity.nature.com/posts/18707-encouraging-good-judgement-in-students

Students need good judgment to successfully navigate the sea of information in their academic lives, as well as for the social and emotional choices and decisions that they will inevitably face. For all of this, students require the executive function of judgment to monitor their understanding and interpretation. Judgment is critical for thoughtful consideration of their choices and the consequences of their actions. In this post, I'll suggest ways that you can activate your students' neuroplasticity to strengthen their brains' developing neural networks that support judgment.

Nature, My Garden and Me: Gray Hairsteak Butterfly Basking In the Butterfly Garden...


Our Butterfly Garden/Wildlife Habitat supports a surprisingly high number of different butterflies--I am just an amateur and usually photograph about 16 
different butterfly types every year here in our garden in the High Desert of SoCal.

The tiny gray hairstreak, the male that is, will bask on a flower, tree or plant to check for likely females. Kind of like standing on the corner watching all the girls go by.

While at rest, the butterfly often moves the hindwings together in a rubbing motion.

Asked to assign letter grades to their children’s schools, the vast majority of parents—generally around 70 percent—issue As and Bs. If those ratings were compiled the way a student’s grade point average is calculated, the public schools would collectively get a B.
When asked to rate the nation’s schools, however, respondents are far less sanguine. Reflecting on public schools in general, a similar share of respondents—roughly 70 percent—confer a C or D. Again calculated as a GPA, America’s schools get a C or C-.

The Three Dimensions Of Student Achievement

https://eleducation.org/news/three-dimensions-student-achievement

When a student is finished with school and moves into adult life, she will be judged not by her ability to perform on a test of basic skills, but by the quality of her work and character. This holds true regardless of what career or life role she chooses. Quality work and character are the keys to a successful life. So why are they not the primary focus of schools?

Flutterbyes and Fighter Planes--in the Low Desert of SoCal

Visiting the Butterfly House at The Living Desert in Indio, California. Buckeye Butterfly
Janet photobombing a Tiger Heliconian butterfly.
Doris Heliconian.

Another phenomenal adventure! This time in the month of April to the Low Desert of California to see the Butterfly House at the Living Desert in Indio, and the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs. My friend from high school, Janet, went with me.

Janet and I are both retired teachers, and now have time  to develop butterfly gardens. Lots of good info here with the Winged Wonders.





Butterfly Pavilion, the Living Desert

The Butterfly Pavilion was like a lovely Victorian Conservatory, filled with all the flowers butterflies love as though they were the favored, special guests at a high tea. 



Grey Cracker and Hamadryas laodamia .




Here is a nice buffet of fruit--banana, oranges, and watermelon.
Grey cracker enjoying Tang in a sponge.v
Apparently butterflies also greatly enjoy orange flavored Tang. 
Gracias por saludos de cumpleaños, mariposa.









A lovely Malachite butterfly landed on my hat--it was my birthday and I accepted its best wishes.








This Julia Butterfly is enjoying milkweed, a plant loved by all pollinators, and essential for the endangered Monarch.

And here is a Monarch--not on milkweed, of course.
The Living Desert
http://www.livingdesert.org/

The Living Desert’s mission is desert conservation through preservation, education and appreciation.
The objectives of The Living Desert are:
  • to preserve a portion of the Colorado Desert in its natural state;
  • to foster, through interpretive exhibits, programs and publication, an awareness of, and an appreciation for, the variety of plants and animals in worldwide ecosystems;
  • to build up under controlled conditions, populations of various species of desert animals and plants threatened with extinction in the wild state;
  • and to foster through cooperative research and educational programs, biological studies contributing to the protection of desert species in a wild state.
The corsair, the mural and me.


Janet and I also visited the Palm Springs Air Museum. I've been before to see a static display of an F-4 Corsair from WWII because that's what my dad flew. It is still there, and the marvelous plane hangar wide and tall mural of a Corsair landing on an aircraft carrier.

Bomb bay.
Janet and I decided to join the docent on a guided tour of the inside of a B-17.  (BTW, my dad's first cousin, Blake Treece, was the radioman on a B17 during the D Day invasion. They went down over Caen, France.) The docent climbed the ladder up, Janet followed, and I realized we would have to crawl to get to the standing area. As mentioned, Janet and I are retired and both have what I would term 'grandma' knees--but that didn't stop us! I am very proud, we crawled through the small passage to a narrow, even tiny bridge through the bomb bay--between where the bombs would have been--then to the cramped area packed with communications equipment. It was really interesting. And then a ladder down and out.

B 17--you can see the lower ball turret on the bottom. Big guys need not apply.

The Air Museum was filled with students enjoying special programs, veterans, and planes, artifacts, and info on all wars from WWII to Korea to Vietnam and just opening a hangar with the Cold War. The docents are veterans. Sometimes there are flights and displays in the air, and you can book a ticket if you like.

Palm Springs Air Museum

http://palmspringsairmuseum.org/

The Palm Springs Air Museum is a living history museum dedicated to educating the public about the role Air Power played in preserving American liberties and way of life. The Museum preserves, exhibits, and flies aircraft from World War Two, Korea, and the Vietnam Wars. Most of the aircraft are in flyable condition.

Nature, My Garden and Me: Dragonfly Basking in Butterfly Garden


This is our Butterfly Garden/Wildlife Habitat and dragonflies have lived in our yard for several years. But this dragonfly loves the tall cypress shrubs and rests on each of the four in turn. Doesn't seem to be enthralled with being videoed, though!


Khaleesi, Mother of Dragonflies
Update 7/18/17
It seems my dragonfly that is always present surveying 'her' territory in the front, is female, from the info online. So, I've given thought to a name, since we are seeing so much of each other. Dragonfly? Hmmm, dragons? How about, Khaleesi, Mother of Dragonflies?

About Me

My photo
Melanie Link Taylor, M.A.
If someone asks what my career is, I respond, "Learning how people learn." I have been a teacher for all levels and handicaps of Special Education, English/ELA grades 7-12, as well as each grade level of elementary. I just love the fun of learning and seeing the students advance. I am from California, received a Masters in Special Education from Chapman University, a B.A. in English and Art from Mount St. Mary's University in Los Angeles. I have been teaching in the Inland Empire, as well as the High Desert of California, since 1994. The MzTeachuh blog I started ten years ago brings a privilege to participate in the online community. Cultivating the Melanie Link Taylor Learning Garden and Wildlife Habitat keeps me grounded and empowered to share the wonders of nature with my students.
