Description / Descripción
Eleanor Dougherty and Suzanne Simons The Literacy Design Collaborative: Assignments Matter!
The hallmark of effective instruction is a challenging assignment. The Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC.org) is a free, online resource where teachers and other educators can access high-quality assignments that support their efforts to teach the content and skills necessary to analyze texts and communicate in writing one’s thinking about text. During the roundtable, participants can learn about an LDC project in its second year of a five-year cycle in New York City and Los Angeles which addresses a central instructional challenge. The presenters explain the current outcome data from the project which has shown in its first year that when students engage in two or more assignments in which they write an essay or report in response to analyzing texts they show marked improvement in their abilities to communicate their thinking.
Carmen Sanz Chacón The emotional impact of lack of special education on gifted children
When a gifted person is not identified and therefore receives no special education, it is highly frequent that he faces social rejection from his classmates, and even from his own teachers. This situation of isolation and rejection by their environment produces in gifted children low self-esteem and depression that can sometimes lead to school failure and even suicide.
