The Best Resources On What Poverty Does To Children’s Brains – And What We Can Do About It
A new study came out yesterday that was covered by NPR, and you can read about it at Socioeconomic factors are becoming ‘biologically embedded’ in children’s brains . It documents the harm that poverty can have on children’s cognitive abiltiies. I’ve published quite a few posts over the year sharing similar studies, and I’ll post links to them all here. So the connection isn’t new. What’s more important, of course, are practical strategies teachers can implement to try and counteract these harms. I’ll start off this list with links to those ideas: “How Income Affects The Brain” & What We Can Do About It I Like The New Science Of “Positive Childhood Experiences” & The Role Educators Can Play In Them New Study Finds That Teachers Can Provide Positive Experiences To At Least Partially Counteract Student Trauma The Best Ways For Responding To Student Trauma – Help Me Find More Here are links to past studies making similar connections to the ones the research highlighted by NPR found: The Brain & Poverty — Upcoming New & Potentially Useful Study No Surprise Here: Poverty Can Affect Young People’s Brains Quote Of The Day: Children, Poverty & Brain Size Another Study Finds That Poverty Causes Cognitive Challenges, Not The Other Way Around Excellent Piece On How Poverty Can Affect “Cognitive Bandwidth,” But It Has A Pretty Bad Title “Author Interview: ‘Helping Students Reclaim Cognitive Resources’ Lost to Poverty and Racism” You might also be interested in: The Best Posts On The Nature/Nurture Debate The Best Resources For Showing Students That They Make Their Brain Stronger By Learning

Video: Official World Cup Song Would Be Great For ELLs – & All Other Students, Too!
The new official World Cup song would be a great one for English Language Learners – and for all other students, too. It’s about doing your best and perseverance. Having ELLs listen to it, sing, and then discuss the lyrics’ meaning and how they could relate it to their life would be a nice lesson, and English proficient students could certainly benefit from doing that last part, too. You can find the lyrics here and here . I’ve embedded three videos below – the official World Cup music video, a “lyrics video” of the song showing the words as they’re sung (which is my preferred way of teaching with songs), and a lyrics video of a song I use in similar ways – “You Can Do It If You Really Want.” I’m adding this info to The Best Resources For Teaching & Learning About The 2026 World Cup.

This Short Piece On Student Engagement Is Worth Reading & Would Be Worth A Faculty Discussion
Student engagement – what it looks like, why it’s important, and how it can be measured – is a topic of understandably constant attention by educators. I have a lengthy “Best” list on it – The Best Posts & Articles On Student Engagement – and have shared how I have measured it in my classrooms ( Intriguing New Study On “Student Engagement” & How To Define It ). By the way, another study recently came out with a different measurement instrument that might be worth looking at…. Student Engagement Is Critical to Student Success is a recent post appearing at the USC EdPolicy Hub. It gives a good overview of the topic, and includes lots of great links. Even though it only briefly touches on practical solutions, if I was still teaching, I’d propose it as something we’d read and discuss as faculty.

Rehtorinvirkojen yhdistäminen kuormittaa Tampereella
Tampereen kaupunki lakkauttaa kaksi lukiorehtorin virkaa heinäkuun alusta alkaen. Silloin kaupungin neljä lukiota yhdistetään hallinnollisesti kahdeksi. Ratkaisu on osa kaupungin säästöpäätöksiä, ja se syntyi viime syksyn yhteistoimintaneuvottelujen jälkeen. Vastedes Pyynikin lukiolla ja Tampereen lyseon lukiolla on yhteinen rehtori, samoin Sammon keskuslukiossa ja Aikuislukiossa. Yhteisestä johdosta huolimatta o ppilaitokset jatkavat itsenäisinä lukioina. Kuormittuuko uusi johto liikaa? Muutos on jo ennen toteutumistaan herättänyt lukioiden henkilöstössä hämmennystä ja kritiikkiä. – Olen saanut huolestuneilta työntekijöiltä poikkeuksellisen paljon yhteydenottoja, Tampereen lukiokoulutuksen työsuojeluvaltuutettu Arto Kauppinen kertoo. Työntekijät ovat olleet huolissaan kolmesta asiasta: Kuormittuuko uusi johto liikaa? Valuvatko johtoportaan työt myös muille työntekijöille? Olivatko irtisanomiset ylipäätään perusteltuja? Rehtorien irtisanomiset ja opettajien tyytymättömyys kaupungin lukiokoulutuksen johtoa kohtaan johtivat yli sadan opettajan allekirjoittamaan adressiin maaliskuussa. Myös opiskelijat osoittivat mieltään rehtorin virkojen säilyttämisen puolesta. Kauppisen mukaan apulaisrehtorien vastuut ovat kevään aikana pysyneet ennallaan. Apulaisrehtorit ovat kuitenkin olleet niin työllistettyjä, että heidän töitään aiotaan ensi lukuvuoden alussa resursoida opettajille. – Esimerkiksi Pyynikin apulaisrehtori on aiemmin vastannut ylioppilaskokeiden järjestelyistä. Jatkossa tehtävän hoitaa opettaja eri korvausta vastaan. Työsuojeluvaltuutetut olisivat toivoneet itselleen merkittävämpää roolia yt-prosessin aikana. Lukioiden henkilöstön sairauspoissaolot lisääntyivät huomattavasti kevään aikana. Kauppinen arvelee, että ensi lukuvuoden kuluessa nähdään, miten paljon yt-tilanne ja tehdyt leikkaukset työntekijöitä lopulta rasittivat. – Työsuojelun keskeinen tehtävä on seurata kuormitusta ja tarvittaessa vaatia työnantajalta lisäresursseja kuormituksen hallitsemiseksi. Säästöt eivät saa johtaa henkilöstön kuormituksen kasvuun. Kun yt-neuvottelut viime elokuussa alkoivat, luottamukselliset keskustelut käytiin työntekijöitä edustaneiden pääluottamusedustajien ja työnantajapuolen kesken. Työsuojeluvaltuutetut eivät Tampereella istuneet pääneuvottelupöydässä, vaikka sekin olisi ollut mahdollista, jos kaupunki olisi heidät sinne kutsunut. Työsuojeluvaltuutetut saivat äänensä kuuluville pääluottamusedustajien kautta. He kuitenkin olisivat toivoneet itselleen merkittävämpää roolia yt-prosessin aikana. – Me olemme työsuojelun asiantuntijoita. Siksi meidän olisi pitänyt olla suoraan kertomassa jo valmisteluvaiheessa, millaisia todennäköisiä vaikutuksia suunnitelluilla päätöksillä tulee olemaan henkilöstön työhyvinvointiin. Yt-neuvottelujen päätyttyä viime lokakuussa Tampereen kaupunki irtisanoi 72 työntekijäänsä. Kasvatuksen ja koulutuksen aloilla kaupunki leikkasi hallinnollisia tehtäviä.

Report Finds Students Aren’t Reading For Fun – Maybe Science Of Reading Advocates Should Push Class Time For That As Well As Phonics?
As anyone who has been reading the news today knows, the feds issued a report today that, among other things, found that young people aren’t reading much for fun. Reading for pleasure is sharply down among schoolkids, report shows is from NBC News. I think many aspects of the Science of Reading movement have been positive. However, at least from what I’ve seen and heard, some advocates have not supported the idea of making class time available for students to read books of their choice – or at least haven’t been as vocal about that as they have for interventions like phonics instruction. When I was in the classroom, “warm-up” time was always ten-or-fifteen minutes of students reading what they wanted. I would spend that time checking in with students and helping them find books (including many I would purchase myself)) they found engaging. Not that I think standardized test scores are the be all, end all of things, but here’s another excerpt from the NBC News article: Students who read in their free time are more likely to score higher on standardized tests than their peers who read less frequently, according to the NCES report. I’m adding this info to The Best Resources Documenting The Effectiveness of Free Voluntary Reading .

Interesting & Useful From The NY Times: “Six sentences That Shaped The American Story”
The New York Times has just published America, One Line At a Time : The United States was written into being. Now, 250 years after the Declaration of Independence, we look at six sentences that shaped the American story — taken from a founding document , an incendiary speech , a classic autobiography , an inaugural address , a protest song and a baseball cap . I think highlighting sentences and examining them can be very useful in the classroom – with both students and teachers choosing them. And, as regular readers know, I also publish a regular “Sentences of the Week.” I’m adding this info to: The Best “Lists Of Lists” Of Influential People, Events & Ideas The Best Resources For Helping Teach About The 250th Anniversary Of The American Revolution
