Two Loudoun elementary schools were recently named in the top three best elementary schools in Virginia according to a Niche ranking. Ashburn’s Waxpool Elementary School ranked first among the 1,124 elementary schools included in the list and Aldie’s Goshen Post Elementary School ranked third, based on its academics, teachers, culture and diversity, and surveys from students and parents. Twelve other #Loudoun elementary schools ranked in the top 100. The Niche rankings differ from others that rely almost exclusively on test scores and academic performance in that it also includes input from students, alumni and parents, as well as quantitative data from sources such as the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate teachers, resources and facilities.

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐛𝐞, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞? 💭🏫 Education is every child’s right and has the power to transform their lives. Providing them access to it allows them to reach their full potential and become society’s next leaders. As we prepare for the new school year, let’s remember that children are the primary stakeholders in their education. #VoiceofChildren advocates for child participation and asks decision-makers to listen and consider children’s opinions when creating academic policies and developmental programs for them. By involving children, we can create genuine student-centered learning environments and help them achieve their goals for themselves and the wider community.

A recent feature in Education Week includes research and insight from Dr. Paul Fitchett, head of the Department of Curriculum & Teaching, on the importance of social studies instruction in elementary education.

Did you know that children who get quality early childhood education before age 5 are less likely to drop out of school or repeat grades? Plus, in countries where more children attend pre-primary education, more children reach minimum competencies in reading and math by the end of primary school. Early education matters so that every child can thrive: http://g.pe/BCqH50QjjC7 #FundEducation

"Strong connections between home and school, especially trust and partnership between parents and teachers, play a significant role in reducing kindergarten gaps for students from minoritized communities." The Early Learning Network recently featured a study led by FPG Faculty Fellow Iheoma Iruka, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, that shed light on factors that may help narrow gaps at the end of kindergarten, specifically among Black, White and Latine students.

In the newest US News & World Report rankings of America’s schools grades K - 8, Fort Zumwalt middle schools and elementary schools are again among Missouri’s best. All told, the organization ranked more than 78,500 public elementary schools and more than 58,431 public middle schools. Of the almost 1,500 Missouri middle schools ranked, Fort Zumwalt’s middle schools were in the top five percent. Of the almost 1,800 Missouri elementary schools ranked, Fort Zumwalt elementary schools were among the top 25 percent. State by state, U.S. News assessed schools by looking at student proficiency in math and reading as measured by state assessments. Half of the US News ranking formula was the results, the other half was the context of socioeconomic demographics. “In other words, the top-ranked schools are high achieving ones that succeeded in educating all of their students,” the organization states on its notification website to schools. “All data for the rankings are from third-party sources, including the U.S. Department of Education.” More at fz.k12.mo.us

Helping start Christian schools and preschools -- as missions. Coaching teachers & administrators; helping students learn & grow at full potential. orgstrat. net teachachildchangeanation.org
https://lnkd.in/gGQZCJuy The Colson Center recently covered some laughably, flagrantly ignorant article on homsechooling from left-wing media. Laughable and ignorant because it worries about homeschooling lacking academic standards. Actually, *every* year since early 1980s, *standardized* testing has shown that homeschoolers outperform public school students - significantly. In fact, here in Texas, the government school has moved away from standardized tests (e.g. Iowa Basic Skills) but homeschoolers continue to use them. Of course, everyone knows that private schools have a higher academic performance -- even tho they accept students who have been expelled elsewhere, and even tho they *more often* have fewer dollars per student. Then, Breakpoint bring up the fact there are some people in our society who have a hard time on their own to provide private education to their children. Right. (About 1/3 of the population are in single parent families.) So, if you are a school who wants to expand your offering I can offer some consulting: www. orgstrat. net . If you are an individual or church who wants to start a preschool, micro-school, or school : Please let me help you https://lnkd.in/g6gWi46 .

#LOSTTHEIRMINDS #CCISDWRONG #NOTSTRONG Corpus Christi ISD strengthens support for teachers, families with 2024-2025 cellphone rules As CCISD continues planning for the upcoming school year, the district continues to review input from families and staff to help ensure safe and productive environments at all schools. In response to growing concerns from teachers and families that cellphones are a significant distraction to the learning process and to fostering healthy social connections, the district will have rules in place to minimize the use of phones, smartwatches and other devices. “While we have been, and will continue to be, a leader in blending technology into the learning process where appropriate, we agree that phones have become a significant distraction during the school day,“ said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “We are glad to join other districts around the state and nation in placing reasonable limits we are confident will immediately result in a healthier school environment.” For students in grades PK-8, communication devices, as well as ear buds and headphones, must remain turned off and put away during the school day, including testing days. The elementary school day is 7:50 a.m. to 3:10 p.m., with middle schools beginning at 8:50 a.m. and ending at 4:10 p.m. For students in grades 9-12, communication devices, as well as ear buds and headphones, must remain turned off and put away while in the classroom setting, including during testing days. Students will be permitted to use devices between classes and during lunch. Students needing to use a phone may request to visit the front office. All classrooms are equipped with phones that include emergency alert systems, ensuring assistance can be summoned quickly. Students accustomed to doing schoolwork on their personal device are reminded district-issued Chromebooks are available. “We understand this may be an adjustment for some of our students and families,” Hernandez said. “We appreciate everyone’s support as we work, every day, to help our students have the best possible learning environment, which includes minimizing distractions to foster learning and friendships.” The rules are rooted in district policy issued in 2018, which authorizes schools to follow guidelines set forth in the Student Parent Handbook and which authorizes consequences, including confiscation. Schools will work with students as they become accustomed to the consistent expectation that phones will be put away. If needed, consequences will follow progressive discipline principles, which begin with a reminder warning to follow the rules. Detailed information is available at ccisd.us and in the forthcoming Student Parent Handbook. The 2024-2025 school year begins Monday, August 12.
