No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law that aims to improve education outcomes for all students. It requires annual testing to monitor student achievement and identifies failing schools. Supporters argue it has increased test scores, especially for minority students, and more students receive tutoring or school choice. However, critics say it focuses too much on testing reading and math at the expense of other subjects. They also argue that it leads schools to "teach to the test" rather than focus on quality learning. Overall assessments of its impact are mixed.

HOW TO WRITE AN INFORMATIVE SPEECH ABOUT EDUCATIONLauren Bradshaw
The document provides guidance on writing an informative speech about education, including choosing a topic, conducting research, crafting an outline, and practicing the speech. It also gives examples of potential topics for an informative speech on education, such as the impact of the Common Core standards, issues with the No Child Left Behind Act, and budget cuts facing the US education system. The document aims to help writers of informative speeches on education effectively develop their topic, structure their speech, and deliver their message.
The US education system has made some gains in student achievement over the past 20 years but still lags behind many other developed nations. It struggles with large achievement gaps between student subgroups. While several common reform approaches have been tried, such as increased school accountability, choice, and changing governance structures, the evidence does not clearly show these have significantly improved the system. A better approach may be focusing on continuous improvement of teaching quality through professional development and support structures.
This document discusses the Common Core State Standards and their focus on preparing students for college and careers. It notes that the CCSS aim to align K-12 education standards across states to ensure students acquire broad skills needed for employment or higher education. The standards emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration and real-world application over rote memorization. The document outlines several ways the CCSS will make curriculum more rigorous, such as increasing the complexity of texts students read and the use of evidence-based writing. It also discusses tools and resources available to help educators implement the new standards.
The document provides suggestions for improving standardized test scores, including having students practice with old tests, review material twice over the school year, and emphasize frequent retrieval practice and self-testing. It also recommends letting students take on more active roles in their learning by writing tests, preparing lessons, and finding their own resources. The focus is on empowering students and having them teach each other.
Curriculum and Instruction PPT. - William Allan Kritsonis, PhDWilliam Kritsonis
The document discusses the history of curriculum development in Texas. It notes that since the 1980s, Texas has focused on strengthening the curriculum, measuring student achievement, and holding schools accountable. As a result, more students are passing and graduating on time. The curriculum includes core subjects as well as enrichment subjects. While the curriculum aims to hold all students accountable, it must also accommodate students with language barriers or special needs through alternate assessments. The document also discusses a lawsuit regarding disparate pass rates among ethnic groups and a case study on integrating activities into the curriculum.

Dr. William Allan Kritsonis, School Law, Curriculum Legal Issues, Curriculum and Law, Extra Curricular Activites, Copyrights, Attendance, Discrimination, Due Process
The document discusses the history of curriculum development in Texas. It outlines legislation passed in 1981 that required Texas public schools to provide both a foundation curriculum of core subjects like math and science, as well as an enrichment curriculum including subjects like foreign languages and fine arts. It also discusses legal challenges to the state's exit exam and case studies showing benefits of integrating activities into the curriculum, leading to improved critical thinking skills. One case involved a teacher fired for refusing to use a mandated science program but later reinstated.
This document discusses concerns about math and science education in the United States based on international test score comparisons. It provides several quotes and statistics from news articles showing that U.S. student performance lags behind countries like China, South Korea, and Singapore. Educators worry that U.S. students are not being adequately prepared for the global economy. While some Asian education systems obtain high test scores, their methods of intense studying and tutoring have also received criticism. Overall, the document examines issues surrounding numeracy and quantitative skills among U.S. students and suggests ways that educators can help students overcome fears and better understand numbers.

B. Common Core has not been embraced by teachers very well.
· Many teachers have had to adapt their style of teaching to accommodate the Common Core curriculum.
· It only focuses on three specific subjects such as Mathematics.
· Focuses more on “critical thinking” rather than knowledge.
C. It is not beneficial for students and their parents.
· Parents have a difficult time helping their children with homework because they do not understand the methods used to solve the problems.
· Prepares students more for the workforce, rather than college.
III) Refuting Opponents Arguments Comment by Author: You list opposing arguments, but you did not provide refutations.
D. States win more money
· States that implement Common Core have the chance to compete for Race to the Top money and a better chance at a No Child Left Behind Waiver.
E. Prepares students more efficiently
· Students who are taught Common Core are more prepared for college than others.
F. Statewide standards benefit students from other states
· Statewide based school standards allow teachers to assist better students who move frequently and are constantly changing schools.
IV) Conclusion
G. While for some Common Core is a success, it is still a nuisance that needs to be eliminated. It takes rights away from teachers, parents and schools.
H. A Disaster For Libraries, a disaster for Language Arts, a Disaster for American Education. Comment by Author: Not sure how this will play out, but just be sure that this does not present itself as new information. Comment by Author: Comment by Author:
I. Finally, there is no evidence that having national standards and increasing testing have improved student learning in the past.

On day one, students brainstorm superpowers related to disabilities, develop persona sheets for characters, and storyboard their ideas. They then create low-fidelity prototypes. On day two, students add interactivity to their prototypes using Makey Makey and Scratch kits. They present their functional superhero prototypes to an audience including people with disabilities. The workshop is inspired by designers who view disabilities as super abilities and uses techniques like care-based learning and embodied cognition.

Japan has a strong science and technology sector, with 22 Nobel laureates in physics and chemistry. It relies heavily on nuclear power, with 55 reactors providing 34% of its electricity. While the automotive and electronics industries are highly developed, the country's K-12 education system has been slow to adopt technology, despite high expectations. There is a debate around balancing traditional moral education versus teaching skills needed for a globalized economy. Recent reforms aim to foster creativity and individuality in schools to better prepare students for competitive 21st century jobs.

The document discusses media spectacles according to theorists Douglas Kellner and Guy Debord. It states that over recent decades, spectacles have become one of the main organizing principles of the economy, politics, society, and everyday life. Specifically, it notes that the Internet-based economy uses spectacles to promote and sell commodities, while media culture proliferates more sophisticated spectacles to engage audiences and increase profits. Entertainment has also increasingly permeated news and information, leading to a popular "infotainment" culture.
This document discusses the personal influence that people have on how mass communications are received and their effects. It examines how interpersonal relationships and social ties can change the way individuals are impacted by media like movies, music, radio, and news. Through case studies, it explores how children who enjoy certain genres may seek out peer relationships related to that, how social pressure from friends can influence music interests, and how planned listening groups are more impactful than isolated consumption of radio broadcasts.
