This document provides additional analysis of student achievement data from a project implementing the Observing for Evidence of Learning (OEL) professional development model in middle schools from 2006 to 2010. It shows that:
1) Grade 8 students in schools using the OEL model outperformed students in comparison schools on science achievement tests, with the gap widening after project implementation.
2) Low-income students in OEL schools nearly closed the achievement gap with statewide averages by 2011, compared to remaining far below before the project.
3) Achievement gains in OEL schools were sustained even after project funding ended, suggesting the professional development model was effective long-term.

ProAlign Web provides secure online access for authorized sales management to view and propose changes to territory alignments. You’ll save weeks on complex sales territory projects.
User management is essential for community and interactive web systems. User management is often an afterthought in a project; although it is critical to the usability (a user that can't register log in can't use the service) and managability of a site, developers often build ad hoc solutions that are unreliable, insecure and hard to use. Tapir User Manager is a user management system that's been used to support large traffic sites. This presentation introduces TUM and explains how it's been used for projects at CUL and elsewhere.

Still targeting 18-49? What you're missing may surprise you.Pamm Foran
Census Bureau data shows that householders are households headed by adults aged 75 and older has grown from 6% in 1960 to 10% this year. And just in the past 12 years, the share of households headed by 30-44-year-olds has plummeted from a peak of 34% in 1990 to just 26% this year. The Census Bureau attributes these changes to the aging of the Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), who control 70% of US disposable income. Indeed, the percentage of households headed by adults aged 45-64 represents a plurality among age demographics, at 39%.
Milwaukee's demographics have shifted as well. The average age of Milwaukee householders in 2012 is 47.6 up 20% from 2002. Now 60% of Milwaukee adults are age 45 plus, up from 50 % in 2002. Average HHI has also grown 20% over the past 10 years by more than $10K. If you are still targeting the 18-49 demographic, you may want to adjust your target to include more 45+ adults, where more buying power is.
The Pearls and Perils of For-Profit Education (Deborah Riemer)ODLAA
Education is on a fast-paced trajectory towards change, but how do institutions do it amidst an environment steeped in tradition? For-profit institutions, in particular, are bearing the brunt of an establishment fearful of change. One of the outcries frequently heard is that for-profits sacrifice academic quality for enrollment numbers. Maintaining quality, while servicing a growing population of students, is not problematic if appropriate systems are put into place that are focused on student learning, steeped in best practices, and designed for scalability. The vision for this design is inclusive of the whole, integrating a systems approach to quality that is incorporated across all levels of the academic unit ˆ the student level, faculty level, and administrator level ˆ and incorporates learning outcomes assessment within a flexible model of program design.
For most scientists and scientific organizations, external communications is an afterthought. In this age of “instant” news and nonstop social media feeds, how can scientists break through the noise and broaden the appeal of their research to garner media attention and grow public understanding? Hsiao-Ching Chou, the Director of Communications at Institute for Systems Biology, shares some insight about how she was able to transform the communications program at ISB from zero to a bustling network of news – and on a nonprofit budget.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Fall 2011 Addendum to report
Increasing the Effectiveness of School-Based Professional Development.
Funding to the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in
support of research on the professional Development model, Observing for Evidence of Learning
(OEL) extended from 2005 through 2011. Implementation of the OEL professional development
model in Puget Sound region middle schools took place over 4 years – 2006 through 2010.
Initial data from the project reported changes in student science achievement through 2010.
RMC Research, the project’s research partner has recently continued analysis of student science
achievement – to now include Grade 8 students who achieved science standard on Washington’s
Measurement of Student Progress (MSP) in 2011. Although the project-lead implementation of
OEL had completed in 2010, project staff analyzed these data as they were interested in knowing
whether the OEL model had sustained in OEL Schools.
Exhibit 1 shows the average percentage of students who met the Grade 8 MSP science standard
in OEL schools [color], comparison schools [color], and the subset of OEL school in Seattle
Public Schools [color]. Prior to the project, the achievement of students in the OEL schools was
sporadic relative to the comparison schools. Once the OEL project began, the OEL schools
demonstrated steady improvement in student science achievement at a rate that exceeded that of
the comparison schools. By the end of the project in 2010, Grade 8 students in OEL schools
were significantly outperforming their counterparts in the comparison schools. One year after
completion of project-lead implementation of OEL – 2011 – OEL Schools, specifically Seattle
Public Schools’ OEL Schools continue to make gains and outperform comparison schools.

PercentHispanic 13.70% 11.50%
PercentELL 7.90% 4.90%
PercentFRL 36.20% 37.20%
To analyze the results with respect to socioeconomic status (SES), RMC Research used the
percentage of students who qualified for Free-and-Reduced Lunch (FRL) as a proxy for the SES
of the community served by each OEL school. To explore this relationship, RMC Research
divided the OEL schools into 2 groups according to the average percentage of students who
qualified for FRL between 2004 and 2011. If less than 40% of the students qualified for FRL, the
school was classified as a high-SES school; and if more than 40% of the students qualified for
FRL, the school was classified as low-SES.
2. Exhibit 2 illustrates the comparison of low-SES OEL schools [color], low-SES comparison schools
[color], low-SES Seattle schools [color] and the state average [color]. Prior to the project, Grade
8 students in the low-SES OEL schools scored well below their counterparts in the low-SES
comparison schools, and both groups scored well below the state average. At the beginning of
the OEL project, the participating schools began to close the gap. By 2009 Grade 8 students in
OEL schools outperformed their comparison school counterparts and the gap continued to widen
in 2010. By 2011, Grade 8 students in low-SES OEL schools come within 2 percentage points of
closing the science achievement gap to the state average; and, Grade 8 students in low-SES
OEL schools in Seattle surpass the state average by 7.5 percentage points.
