Brent Daigle, Ph.D. commented on Emotional & Behavior Disorders Thanks Anne for the comment -- These presentations are the lectures I use in class at Mercer University. Usually, after I give a lecture, I post the ppt content on Slideshare. I like your idea, however, it is just not something I have tried yet. I will see how to merge the audio content with this ... perhaps I’ll start with recording my lectures in class.... thanks again, Brent Daigle 2 months ago

Brent Daigle, Ph.D. commented on 2008 Louisiana Leap Test Results Your concern is shared by many !! Unfortunately, because of this high-stakes test environment, teachers often find themselves in a situation that is untenable - and soon begin teaching to the test. These problems were even more complicated for special education teachers (like myself). Our students (I taught students with Autism and those with Behavioral Disorders) were held to the same standards as those in the general population. Most of my students, however, were 2-3 grade levels behind in math, ELA, reading...etc. -- as you can imagine, most could not pass the test -- and many times this would cause our school (and school district) to come short of their AYP goal for a given year. It mattered not that my students improved by 1 grade level in their basic skills, the only litmus for improvement was the single test they took in March -- 7 months ago

Brent Daigle, Ph.D. commented on 2008 Louisiana Leap Test Results While I can personally tell you of many teachers who "teach to the tests," I can also think of just as many teachers who shun this kind of instructional approach. I think its pretty fair to say that we all (administrators, parents, teachers, and legislators ) want to improve the academic outcomes of our students. Where we differ is in the approach. I personally think that its hard to consider a viewpoint other than our own experience-- as a teacher, for example, I have ideas that are based on pedagogical methods -- as a parent, I have ideas that are based on my own logic -- as a legislator, I have ideas based on a system of law and accountability....etc. Somehow, if we could come together as a collaborative group (rather than the current adversarial model that exists today), I think we could have a better understanding of each other, and ultimately consider the best ideas regarding student achievement. I agree, we have a mess!! I think its a natural reaction to blame BESE or "some stupid legislatures," -- but the problem with LEAP is not necessarily a state problem (well it is ....but....). No Child Left Behind has benchmarks that require EVERY STUDENT IN THE NATION to be PROFICIENT by the 2013-2014 school year. That means,essentially, that EVERY STUDENT IN THE NATION must score an A/B average. As both a teacher and a student, I know that I’ve never been in a class were EVERYONE makes an A!! I think its important to remember that BESE is carrying out a federal mandate. As easy as it is to single out the problems that we are having as a state, I’m fairly certain that it is a problem that we are facing as a nation (http://xrl.us/NewEnglandAYP) (http://xrl.us/SouthernAYP ). Thank you for the post -- hopefully you’re right -- that these results will OUTRAGE us -- and , in turn, cause us to speak out about it, blog about it, complain about it and act on it -- because I think this is the only way we will ever have meaningful improvement in student achievement :~) ---Brent 2 years ago
