Right Answers Only Tell Part Of The Story Every student thinks about math a little di erently. How they solve a problem can’t be seen from just the answer alone. DreamBox math lessons are interactive experiences that help students visualize and contextualize math concepts while giving educators insight into each student’s conceptual approaches and understanding. DreamBox goes beyond the answer, using deeper insight to provide a more personalized learning experience for students and educators. The result is better quality data plus a highly e ective and more engaging learning experience. Independent studies show that students who use DreamBox for as little as an hour a week improve their math scores nearly 60 percent.

  • By March, Supervisors Vow Study on High Desert County Hospital with Trauma Center
    9/12/2017 By March, Supervisors vow study on High Desert county hospital with trauma center By March, Supervisors vow study on High Desert county hospital with trauma center By Shea Johnson Staff Writer Posted Sep 11, 2017 at 1:04 PM Updated Sep 11, 2017 at 1:04 PM San Bernardino County officials will analyze within the next six months the feasibility of constructing a county hospital with a trauma center in the High Desert. San Bernardino County officials will analyze within the next six months the feasibility of constructing a county hospital with a trauma center in the High Desert. It was only one of six recommendations made by the civil Grand Jury in late June in response to a shortage of emergency room beds and hospital overcrowding in this region, but it was the most striking due to the enormity of such an undertaking, likely to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. In a proposed response to the jury’s report expected to be approved by county Supervisors on Tuesday, the officials, acting in their capacity as the governing board of the Inland Counties Emergency Management Agency, say research is required. “This recommendation requires further analysis, specifically a discussion involving the various stakeholders on the costs, feasibility and various possible approaches to addressing the concerns upon which the recommendation is based,” the Supervisors’ response said. The analysis, it continued, will take place within six months of Tuesday, meaning by no later than mid-March. http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20170911/by-march-supervisors-vow-study-on-high-desert-county-hospital-with-trauma-center 1/3 9/12/2017 By March, Supervisors vow study on High Desert county hospital with trauma center In a conversation following the Grand Jury report’s release, Supervisors Chairman Robert Lovingood, who represents the Victor Valley, described a county hospital as recommended by the jury, similar to that of Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, as “a priority.” “I think it’s absolutely on,” he told the Daily Press at the time.

  • CREATING SCHOOLS THAT WORK: Promoting Excellence and Equity for a Democratic Society Through Whole Schooling
    Creating Schools That Work Promoting Excellence and Equity for a Democratic Society By Michael Peterson And Lynne Tamor 2003 Whole Schooling Press C/o Wayne State University 217 Education Detroit, Michigan 480202 http://www.wholeschooling.net Revised, March 20, 2003 The Six Principles of Whole Schooling WE NEED NEW VISIONS OF SCHOOLING to promote effective learning and a just society. The Whole Schooling Consortium links individuals and schools in work to build schools and classrooms based on SIX PRINCIPLES of Whole Schooling.: q Empowering citizens in a democracy. The purpose of schooling should not be a test score but to help children become active, effective citizens for democracy. This means that sharing of power and decision-making is an integral part of the culture of a school at all levels – among staff, partnerships with parents and the community, and within classrooms. q Including all. For a democracy to function, by definition, all children must be there. For students to learn well, to be prepared to function in a diverse society, they must be exposed to people with diverse characteristics. Thus, we seek schools in which All children learn together across culture, ethnicity, language, ability, gender, & age, where separate pull-out programs and ability grouping in the classroom are used seldom if at all. q Authentic, multi-level teaching. For such schooling to work instruction cannot be monolithic and traditional one size fits all. Rather, we expect students to function at a range of ability levels, each being supported and encouraged to move to their next level of competence, yet without ability grouping or segregation.
