10% of the population are estimated to be dyslexic. That means that for every ten of your colleagues, or ten of your students, or ten of your relatives or friends, on average, 1 has dyslexia. In the work place, the law stipulates that you must make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to accommodate the needs of dyslexics. That might mean managing overloading environments such as open plan offices, adjusting intranets or screens so that they are less stimulating, allowing for longer time periods for organisation or kicking off a dyslexia mentoring scheme within your place of work. But what is being done before work, in schools, colleges, and Universities to move the national dialogue to one which celebrates neuro-diversity at the earliest moment?

Social Security Administration Preliminary Regulatory Reform PlanObama White House
When President Obama unveiled his plan to create a 21st-century regulatory system that protects the health and safety of Americans in a cost-effective way, he called for an unprecedented government-wide review of rules already on the books. As a result of that review, the Social Security Administration has identified initiatives to reduce burdens and save money. Read the agency plan and share your comments, feedback and questions.

Webinar: Making the Case for Early STEM Learning- 2016-11-02TechSoup
Explore how to make a stronger case for early STEM experiences. A FrameWorks research into American public thinking revealed that people assume that science, technology, engineering, and math are highly specialized areas of knowledge that aren’t appropriate for young learners. In turn, this limits public support for the policies, funding, and programs that can foster early learning in these vital areas. We'll discuss and explore proven, practical ways for early childhood advocates to talk about why and how early STEM matters.

Why does it matter?
We live in the digital age
The environment has deep impact on children’s behaviors and development.
Good or bad? It depends on how we use media.
Science behind
Learning from TV and other media:
Require repetition
Familiar characters
Socially relevant and contingent feedback (looks at and talk to the child)
Here is a video represents above three contents in a show.
Children under 2.5 or 3 years old learn better from a real-world than from an equivalent media. They develop the ability of dual representation (need to represent TV as something they learn from) around 3 years old.
Learning two “5”
Children follow 5 steps to learn new things
Sensory register: receives input from the environment and registers it for processing
Information processing: Approach that describes how people learn using a computer analogy
Short-term memory: Holds information temporarily
Long-term memory: Stores information processed from short term memory for later retrieval
Learning response: Recognize and recall information from short- and long-term memory.
5 capabilities that contribute to social learning
Symbolization: can think about social behavior in words and images
Forethought: anticipate consequences of our own and others’ actions
Self-regulation: adopt standards of acceptable behavior for us (aspirational, social, moral)
Self-reflection: analyze our thoughts and actions
Vicarious learning: learn by watching others be rewarded and punished

Parenting instructions:
Media is a new environment for children. Parents should guide them to adapt to the environment.
Consider media as an optional tool for learning. Parents’ companion is necessary for children’s development. It always better to learn from real-world than from the screen.
Don’t use it as an emotional pacifier. Parents should not use TV or other media to calm down their children. They need to learn to control their emotion.
Set limits and encourage playtime. Kids are kids. They will make mistakes using media. Parents’ surveillance is indispensable.
Be a good role model. Except for limiting children’s on-screen playtime, parents should control their time on using media each day.
Here is a video explaining how TV affect young children’s brain development

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

10% of the population are estimated to be dyslexic. That means that for every ten of your colleagues, or ten of your
students, or ten of your relatives or friends, on average, 1 has dyslexia. In the work place, the law stipulates that you must
make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to accommodate the needs of dyslexics. That might mean managing overloading
environments such as open plan offices, adjusting intranets or screens so that they are less stimulating, allowing for longer
time periods for organisation or kicking off a dyslexia mentoring scheme within your place of work. But what is being done
before work, in schools, colleges, and Universities to move the national dialogue to one which celebrates neuro-diversity at
the earliest moment and supports Dyslexic learners?
This episode features Dr Kate Saunders, CEO, The British Dyslexia Association and Mike Tholfsen, Microsoft Education in
conversation about:
• Tools and coping strategies for dyslexic learners
• What resources, training and funding is available for teachers working with dyslexic learners
• Microsoft’s Learning Tools, OneNote and Class Notebook features for Dyslexic learners and the story behind how
this came to fruition
• An efficacy pilot study between the BDA, Microsoft and Knowl Hill School in the UK on improving dyslexic learner
outcomes
• Dr Kate Saunders' own inspirations and tools as a dyslexic

• The new curriculum puts much more attention to the student being the centre of learning.
• Finland: we are a research-based education.
• It's my mission. I want to change Math education, not just in Finland, but in the whole world.
• Interdisciplinary Math is very important.
• 8 students out of 10 are solving mathematics based on memorising. This really shows what is happening in math
classes all over the world. We have to change it.
• Learning in the classroom is not only working with the computers or tablets, it’s working together.
• The first learning games have been made for consumers and now I am talking about schools
• It's very important what kind of principal you have in your school and what kind of system you have in your country.
• About 50 years ago Finland was one of the poorest countries in the world and now we are one of the richest countries.
We don't have oil, but we have the education.
• We have to give the environment of learning to students.
• We need a big(ger) investor to bring the project to the next level.

Mike Tholfsen:
Learning tools hit the right note, we saw the right responses. It's not just about accessibility, but also about empowering
everyone.
We tried to design among other pieces what is called the "immersive reader”, a set of techniques known to help people
with ADHD, dyslexia and dysgraphia etc. and put them together adding some new technologies.
We started a research project with Kate Saunders from the BDA looking at measuring the efficacy of learning tools in the
classroom.
Technology can help a teacher scale and personalise in ways that might be impossible otherwise.
In the US, at least on average, you'll see 4 levels of reading in one class and teachers are expected to personalise.
Kate Saunders:
10% of the population has some degree of dyslexia. Everybody who teaches in the educational system teaches dyslexic
people.
There is a better awareness about dyslexia nowadays in the UK. The education system is more aware but it's not
consistent.
Multi-sensory learning gives dyslexic people more chances to learn.
Dyslexics are very good learners, but what we have in the education system is a mismatch between the way they learn
and the way they are taught.
If they cannot learn the way you teach, can you teach the way they learn?
The use of technology can become useful. It’s all about reasonable adjustments.
