It was very informative. Did you find any information on transgender scientists? https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/396456266 2019-10-10 23:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/396456266 Great presentation. I really like how focused and clearly defined your topic is. It sounds like you know exactly what you want to do and how to do it. It's inspiring, actually, and after watching I'm more motivated to arrive at the same point of clarity in my own research design! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. - Ryan https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/397472128 2019-10-14 15:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/397472128 Hey Tatum! kseiverd https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/397660604
Great plan! Glad to see you have the population identified and a layout for improving cyberbulling. However the video you created is not accessible. Is it possible to change the sharing settings? -Kyle ]]> 2019-10-14 23:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/397660604 Hey Debra! kseiverd https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/397662002 Great topic! It is so important that ESL/ELL students have equal opportunity to continue education beyond secondary school. What program do you plan on using to develop a webpage? -Kyle ]]> 2019-10-14 23:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/397662002 Hey Katie, kseiverd https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398184586 Good work! Sounds like you have a clear focus on what you would like to do. A recommendation for an incentive is a free ticket to an athletic event for every club meeting the student attends. This will only be successful if your school charges for sports tickets like mine does (at least for football and basketball). This would hybridize students interest in sports and engage them in additional math practice. Keep it up! -Kyle ]]> 2019-10-15 21:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398184586 Great topic! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398225579 Tatum, I am looking forward to seeing the results of your study. We are only starting to see the true effects that technology and, more specifically, cyber bullying has on kids and their experience in school. It's exciting that you get to be at the fore-front of research on this topic! Good program plan.
-Alison]]> 2019-10-16 00:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398225579 Hey Kyle, https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398227844 You picked a topic that is very important to me as well. I am certified to teach science and math for middle schoolers. I was originally looking into attending graduate school for health professions when I decided to pursue education. Have you considered doing some type of STEM related education/job with men and women equally representing the volunteer presenters for your district along with your current research? I realized during college that there were so many STEM careers I didn't know existed and would have greatly benefited from getting more information during high school.
-Katie ]]> 2019-10-16 00:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398227844 Great job! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398229793 Kyle, it was interesting to learn that Biology is the discipline that has the most equal male to female ratio. This study brings to mind the amazing fact that we humans are so greatly influenced by the information we consume. I am very interested to see the results of your study!
-Alison]]> 2019-10-16 00:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398229793 Hey Ryan, https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398234076 I really enjoyed your presentation and love your TLP idea. This is a very important program to have in place. I have been trying to (with no formalities attached) get one of my at risk math students in school more often, and on time! She has been responsive to me telling her we are happy she is at school and that we miss her when she is not, and has been attending school more often. I also see her after class at cross country which I think helped to strengthen our teacher-student relationship. It might be interesting to think about having a positive reinforcement system within your mentoring program when the desired behavior of coming to school is seen! Great job, Katie ]]> 2019-10-16 00:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398234076 Hey Debora, https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398236004 I like your idea, I agree that it is very important that all students have all of the information that they need their post secondary educations. I think that having the website available in multiple languages will be very beneficial. Have you considered looking into the students educational backgrounds as well for who applies to college/which type? Do you have a large special education population? Maybe it could be great to include information about IEPs/504s and their relation to the college process as well if there is a "fear factor" for any students with learning disabilities.

Great job!
Katie ]]> 2019-10-16 00:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398236004 Great presentation! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398424334 Ryan, great job on the presentation. I think your project is going to make a big impact on not only school refusal cases, but on school culture as well. How do you define students that are "at-risk"? How will you identify these students in your sample? Does your school currently have a definition or will you be defining the specific identifying factors as a part of your study? I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your research.
-Alison]]> 2019-10-16 12:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398424334 Very informative! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398427662 Debora, great job! That was a very informative presentation. I am really looking forward to seeing the results of your research. Yours is a such an exciting project, because it will directly impact students in such a big way immediately. I second Kyle's question: what program will you use to create the website?

Also, I have never done a project using Prezi; however, after viewing your presentation, I am definitely going to try the site out. Thanks!

-Alison]]> 2019-10-16 12:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398427662 Great needs assessment! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398431560 Katie, I like that you provided a comprehensive presentation on the needs of your school; I did the same. Your study seems like it will be similar to mine in that it will involve an intervention to remedy a deficiency in student achievement. In regards to the intervention, do you think that your administration would be willing to build it into the school plan? This would alleviate some of the urgency in coming up with extrinsic motivators, as the intervention would be a requirement of sorts for specific students that are in need of improvement. Does your school use Link It? If so, you can use this program to help you identify which students would be involved in the intervention (perhaps the students that fall into the "bubble" and "approaching" categories). I am looking forward to seeing how your study grows overtime! -Alison]]> 2019-10-16 13:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398431560 reckert https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398653945 I love the idea. I used to teach at Union County College and I had a huge number of students in the exact demographic you are addressing. I saw a ton of potential and great work ethic but limited knowledge about available resources and higher ed culture in general. I think this concept can really make a difference! -Ryan

Gob job! Love the color of your slides, they were engage and easy to understand. I think it is excellent to bring the science and history teachers on board to aid in the development of english skills. As a science nerd, I know that I would NEED training on how to properly score for grade-level english skills. Keep it going! You got this! -Kyle ]]> 2019-10-16 23:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398772734 Hi Jacob, kseiverd https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398774160 Good work with the powerpoint. It will be interesting to see the effective strategies for ELLs. How do you plan to engage the parents? Virtually? Just wondering. Cheers! -Kyle ]]> 2019-10-16 23:55:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398774160 Hi Christina, reckert https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398779062 It looks like you have a ton of great background info and a well-defined plan for implementing your PD. How do you plan to get the teachers motivated to buy in to the PD activities? Ryan

]]> 2019-10-17 00:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398779062 Hey Jake reckert https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398780910 Really great idea. I've found in my teaching experience that ELL students have some of the most supportive parents/family structures at home, but the parents are often disengaged from the school due to a language barrier. I think connecting with those families could be a HUGE untapped resource to benefit the students. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Ryan]]> 2019-10-17 00:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/398780910 Hi Ali! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399107624 You presented your data in a way that anyone could understand- which is great! I hope your plan goes smoothly- I know how difficult it can be to get the "buy in". So glad we can support one another through conversations since we have the same population :)
Christina]]> 2019-10-17 15:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399107624 Hi Tatum! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399109278 I love this topic because I think it is something that effects the whole child- socially, emotionally, and academically! So many times there are "other concerns" that are relating to the poor performance teachers are seeing academically.

It is obvious that this is a topic that has not evolved with the times. Another piece to possibly consider would be the supplemental resources that are used in the classrooms in addition to the textbook.
Christina ]]> 2019-10-17 16:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399113947 Hi Katie! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399116081 I have been in the "RtI" world at the middle school level for two years now- it is hard to establish a program where there is teacher buy-in as well as buy-in from students. This year, I have started working with Math classes/teachers as well as ELA. This is the first year some of our teachers are piloting Envision 2.0. There is a piece called MathXL that tracks student progress on certain skills/standards.
Christina]]> 2019-10-17 16:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399116081 Hi Jake, https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399132112 I really like your idea, it is so important that ELL students and families are receiving all of the possible supports the school system can provide. Your research question:

What impact will student engagement have on english development?

has me wondering how you will measure that? I could not decide how that specific question would be addressed in your TLP goals.

Great work!
Katie

I'm a little confused- I'm sorry if I missed something. Are you addressing the students not identified for RTI due to the testing discrepancies by implementing the achieve300 strategy for every student? I think it is great that it will group students by ability with the Lexile score. Will the groups truly change each time? I'm not familiar with the Lexile testing.

Good job!

We discussed this a bit during class, but I think we have a similar dilemma with student engagement- the programs we design need to appeal to student interests in addition to student needs. If you come up with any great engagement strategies please let me know and I will do the same :) -Katie]]> 2019-10-17 16:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399141980 Get Ryan! https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399199228 I really appreciated the operational definitions that you used in your presentation.

I look forward to hearing how you plan to engage the parents as well, since translation may be an issue. My home district just began paying some of our world language teachers hourly to serve as translators; some think it's best to use Google Translate since it's relatively thorough. -Leah]]> 2019-10-17 19:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399242638 Hi Ali https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/399302739 I love how you added the data charts right at the beginning of your presentation - very eye catching!

As a math teacher, I see how necessary this is. We used the enVision math program which is incredibly wordy and over emphasizes word problems. The students struggle to properly respond to the questions because they cannot break them down. They also choose not to "explain" their answers when asked. I think your program could greatly improve this for students. The expectation needs to be clear for the students.

I love your idea of educating kids about cyberbullying and helping students learn more about important topics such as prevention and reporting cyberbullying. When and where will the lessons on cyberbullying take place and will they be mandatory or optional for kids?
You have such great ideas for this topic and I think the program you're developing is going to be really powerful and impactful!

Student involvement in school is something we push at our high school. When talking extracurricular engagement, it may be of interest to track how often a certain club/sport meets. You can have a student involved with a club that only meets once a month compared with a student who is involved in a sport that meets daily. I would expect that the student in the sport is more engaged and has less chronic absenteeism than the student who only stays after once a month. Not all extracurriculars are created equal. Just a side note! Keep it going. Cheers. -Kyle ]]> 2019-10-20 20:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/400034773 Hi Ryan, https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/400039874 Chronic absenteeism is a large obstacle that many schools face.

Your presentation was easy to follow and the narration was clear. One thought - you made the link between lower outcomes (academic, attendance, etc.) with a lack of student motivation & self-confidence. Based on my experience, I completely agree. However, you will have to establish a way of objectively making that connection, beyond anecdotal observation. Did you have an instrument in mind to evaluate that? Maybe a self-reported student survey? -RYAN]]> 2019-10-20 22:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/400049982 Hey Jayce, https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/400059493 This is a fantastic idea. I liked what you said about self-confidence playing a role. I am seeing a large lack of self-confidence with students in my middle school as well. I was going to suggest something similar to Ryan with the survey. You could use some type of Likert Scale and then do an analysis. I would be interested to see the differences among students involved vs. not involved, sports vs. arts, and starters/leads vs. bench players/extras. -Katie

Would these students be flagged from year to year? This may be important for administration to know during the scheduling process. Would students remain with their mentor in subsequent school years? When would a student "phase out" of this process- if their attendance has improved over x number of years?

Its important to have great math teachers that can get students interested in math by making it as applicable as possible. By researching this topic you will learn new ways to help students overcome their fear of math. And in doing so, raise your districts state test scores!
Awesome presentation!
Jake]]> 2019-10-21 21:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/400584741 Hi Alison https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/400586152 Involving parents in students learning is crucial. The research shows that across all SES levels, parental involvement is always an important factor. Furthermore, I believe that parental involvment is especially important for middle school aged students. Parent involvement nights give parents and families an opportunity to be present in the students education during a challenging time in their lives.
Awesome ideas,

I was most impressed with your areas of concern section. School culture and collaboration with family and community are critical for student success. Students will thrive in a district where parents are actively involved and are given opportunities to be active in their child's education. The connect community feeds into a positive school climate where teachers do not have to dread reaching out to parents.

You have such a clear vision for your project which is very motivating and inspiring! I think this is such an important topic and it is really eye opening to hear just how low the numbers are for women in many STEM related fields such as physical science and engineering. it got me thinking about my own topic of STEAM in preschool and hopefully if we can address an imbalance in gender representation in textbook as well as expose ALL students to STEM at an earlier, hopefully we can begin to move in a better direction towards gender equality.

I like how you have clearly established your project goals and you have identified the methodology that you will be using. Parent involvement is so critical and it must be hard for parents who struggle to communicate with their child's parent. I think the parents of the ESL students will greatly appreciate your efforts in improving parent involvement and increasing student engagement! I work with a number of ESL students and I also find that hands-on, project based activities engage them the most as do activities that incorporate music! I think when the kids are able to actually interact with various materials and actively work through concepts the language barrier becomes less of an obstacle and increases the opportunity for ESL students to make meaningful connections.

It was so easy to follow and read. You made the presentation so pleasant! Do you think this is a common issue in other subjects as well, or mostly science?

I feel like most students either like or hate math. I do not really ever come across students who are "in the middle" of liking math. I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Cyberbullying is growing and growing. At work, we are constantly dealing with potential HIBs because of things that happen on social media outside of school.
Your chosen topic can most definitely be very helpful for many districts!

I wish I would have thought to start my needs assessment with a celebrity quote. I like the hashtag, social media is huge right now in education.]]> 2019-11-19 04:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pamelanathan1/8t9b82zwvjdg/wish/413164362
