Getting Down to the Nitty Gritty of Data: Becoming A Data-Driven District
June 27, 3:15 – 4:15pm, Room: Franklin C
Bloom Carroll School District went from being “Effective” to “Excellent with Distinction” in a few short years. Having high district expectations and becoming a data-driven district achieved these results. Information and handouts will be shared with participants, describing how this district's performance index, AYP, state indicators, and value-added scores improved. Learn how one school is striving to change the culture of the district.

Gender effects in a randomized trial of individual tutoring with children in care
Children living in foster care are a particularly vulnerable group of children that are at high-risk for experiencing a multitude of difficulties, including poor academic performance and achievement. Although the academic underachievement of foster children has been well-documented for decades, very few attempts have been made to address the problem. This is the second study to come out of the RESPs for Kids in Care research project, which represents one of three known randomized controlled trials aimed at providing an academic intervention to foster children with a view to improving their basic skills, increasing their chances of graduating from high school and enrolling in post-secondary education. The unique contribution and intent of the current study was to evaluate the differential gender effects of a foster parent-delivered tutoring intervention on the foster children's academic skills and mental health. The focus of this investigation was original and exploratory because the potential role of gender in moderating the impact of a tutoring intervention had never been examined in tutoring research conducted in the general population (Ritter et al., 2009) nor in that carried out among young people in care (Courtney, 2008; Flynn et al., 2012; Harper & Schmidt, 2012; Harper, 2012).
A mixed-method approach was used to explore these differential effects and the main hypothesis of the project, that the foster children in the experimental group would demonstrate greater gains in reading and math than the children in the control group, between pre-test and post-test, regardless of gender. The results were promising: the foster children in the experimental group demonstrated significant gains in their basic reading and math skills after receiving the foster-parent delivered one-on-one tutoring, with some evidence of differential gender effects across the academic results.

The Achievement Gap in Online Courses through a Learning Analytics LensJohn Whitmer, Ed.D.
Presentation at San Diego State University on April 12, 2013.
Educational researchers have found that students from under-represented minority families and other disadvantaged demographic backgrounds have lower achievement in online (or hybrid) courses compared to face-to-face course sections (Slate, Manuel, & Brinson Jr, 2002; Xu & Jaggars, 2013). However, these studies assume that "online course" is a homogeneous entity, and that student participation is uniform. The content and activity of the course is an opaque "black box", which leads to conclusions that are speculative at best and quite possibly further marginalize the very populations they intend to advocate for.
The emerging field of Learning Analytics promises to break open this black box understand how students use online course materials and the relationship between this use and student achievement. In this presentation, we will explore the countours of Learning Analytics, look at current applications of analytics, and discuss research applying a Learning Analytics research method to students from at-risk backgrounds. The findings of this research challenge stereotypes of these students as technologically unsophisticated and identify concrete learning activities that can support their success.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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
