Based on educational research, can you make a difference in student learning?

Coleman Report 1966Concluded that the quality ofschooling a student receivesaccounts for only 10% of the“variance in studentachievement.”

Jenks Report 1972 “. . . differences in test scores are due to factors that schools do not control.”

Brophy / Good 1986 “The myth that teachers don’t make a difference in . . . learning has been refuted.”

Mehta / Foorman 2005 “Students who spent a year in classrooms taught by teachers who use research-based strategies are more likely to out- perform those students who did not.”

We never would have found this person if the person hadn’t been so hard to find.

In 1837, a boy named John and his six brothers and sisters lived on a farm in a beautiful, wooded area in Tennessee. His family planted corn & raised animals for food and milk. His father was a lawmaker and his mother taught English in a local school. They were happy & prosperous.

In 1839, the family moved to a dry, treeless, flat prairie where it was difficult to raise enough food to survive. Three of John’s siblings died. Unable to make a living farming, his father went back to being a legislator and his mother wrote for a newspaper. They missed their home in the mountains.
