Peace Corps Press Release
A Peace Corps volunteer in Macedonia is working with his community to replace the 40-year-old deteriorating blackboards in a local elementary school. Funds for the project will come from both the community and the Peace Corps Partnership Program. The volunteer says that the old blackboards make it difficult for students to see and for teachers to teach effectively. Once completed, the project will also create a new English classroom and provide the school with its first "SMART board". Municipal officials support the effort and will work with the school on the blackboard replacement.
Positive and negative technology in language teaching
The document discusses the positive and negative effects of technology in language teaching. It defines technology as science or knowledge that is applied to solve problems or invent useful tools. Positively, technology can provide practice for students, enhance motivation, improve achievement, increase access to authentic materials, and encourage interaction. However, technology can also negatively impact language teaching by lacking support, using inadequate teaching methods, wasting time, incurring maintenance expenses, taking away learning time, and being overused.

Indiana Department of Education 2012 review (Bennett) / baseline for comparisonBlacketor Consultants, LLC
The Indiana Department of Education 2012 Progress Report outlines aggressive goals for student performance and updates on progress to date. The goals aimed for 95% of students to pass math and English sections of ISTEP+, 25% to pass an AP or IB exam, and 90% to graduate high school. Currently, performance is improving but still short of goals, with 71% passing ISTEP+, 13.4% passing AP exams, and 85.7% graduating. The report also discusses a focus on early childhood reading proficiency, educator effectiveness policies, school choice programs, increased technology and online testing in schools, and an innovation fund to support new programs.How crowded is your class
The document discusses the impact of class size on student achievement. It notes that recent budget cuts have led to increased class sizes. Research shows that smaller class sizes (under 20 students) are associated with higher test scores and student achievement. Smaller classes can reduce noise and behavior problems while allowing teachers to give each student more individual attention. While budgets are tight, alternatives like reallocating staff may allow schools to maintain the benefits of smaller class sizes.

Board presentation 2009
Strong school library programs can increase student test scores by 10-20% according to research. Today's school libraries provide both print and digital resources like books, databases, media and curated internet sites.

Pisa 2009 results
The document discusses the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) tests, which assess the capabilities of 15-year-olds in reading, mathematics, and scientific literacy. It summarizes the results of PISA tests in India, finding that the two participating states, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh, scored at the bottom across parameters.

It raises questions about accountability, ensuring quality education, and the path forward.
Statistics in literacy(1)
The document provides statistics and research findings about literacy rates and the consequences of illiteracy in the United States. It finds that 283% more students are receiving special education services for specific learning disabilities than 30 years ago. Many of these students do not have true learning disabilities but have failed for years until their performance matches students with disabilities. The key to solving the literacy crisis is prevention and early intervention in general education. Waiting until 3rd or 4th grade for reading remediation leads to poor outcomes. The document outlines negative consequences of illiteracy such as unemployment, criminal behavior, and incarceration. It advocates for identifying struggling readers early and providing explicit, systematic phonics instruction to remediate reading difficulties.

Finally, it notes that providing resources for teachers to address these issues is a challenge (#5) due to limited funding.
