Poor mental health affects our well-being, our ability to work, and our relationships with friends, family, and community. Mental health conditions are not uncommon. Hundreds of millions suffer from them yearly, and many more do over their lifetimes. It’s estimated that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will experience major depression in their lives. Mental illnesses are treatable, and the impact they have can be reduced. To support them, it’s essential to have good data to understand these conditions – how, when, and why they occur, how many people are affected by them, and how they can be treated effectively and safely. On this page, we show data on the prevalence of mental illnesses and their burden, and people’s attitudes toward mental health.
Allowing Test Retakes—Without Getting Gamed Debates about exam grades and retaking tests tend to coalesce, eventually, around the same arguments. One faction prioritizes subject mastery, the idea that it’s more important to get students to take incremental steps towards proficiency than to punish them with bad grades. The other side emphasizes personal responsibility, insisting that there are very few second chances in life, and that regular opportunities to retake tests simply teach kids that consequences are negotiable. But in a recent Facebook and Twitter poll about whether our teachers allow makeup tests, the discussion took a more practical turn. “This has backfired on me so many times,” lamented teacher Misty McClaskey in a comment that drew hundreds of sympathetic reactions from our audience. Still, teachers weren’t giving up on mastery or on makeup tests, and clear solutions emerged in the course of the back-and-forth. Mastery Quizzes An advantage of this strategy?

Lesson Study Support Initiative With lesson study becoming more popular in Florida and the rest of the world, CPALMS is dedicated to support educators through providing professional development opportunities, an online lesson study support system within iCPALMS, and interactive lesson study resource kits. In collaboration with other projects at FCR-STEM, CPALMS has been engaged with thousands of educators that are participating in lesson study cycles around the state. Lesson Study is a peer-to-peer, job-embedded, collaborative form of professional development that engages small teams of teachers in: Click here to take an introductory professional development module on Lesson Study and the use of lesson study resource kits on CPALMS.

TOOLS FOR LEARNING: Tools and Tactics to Measure Students’ Mastery of the Common Core Standards The Common Core State Standards (CCS) first appeared (or reared their ugly head, depending on your take) in 2009 as an initiative of the National Governor’s Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. A half-dozen states have yet to adopt the standards, which apply to English-language arts and mathematics (Next Generation Science Standards are indirectly related and cover science). The idea, at least, is a good one: Ensure high school students graduate either college- or career-ready. How that idea is carried out is yet another issue entirely. “The CCSS are an utter sham,” says a veteran educator who otherwise declined to comment for this article. Like them or not, after years of development and adoption, 2014–15 marks implementation year for CCSS; two different assessment consortia, PARCC and Smarter Balanced, move them forward.

Chemical Energy to Thermal Energy Examples Chemical Energy to Thermal Energy Chemical energy is a potential form of energy that is stored in the chemical bonds that hold atoms together. If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. Thermal energy is often referred to as heat energy. Examples of Chemical Energy to Thermal Energy: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. <a href=" Energy to Thermal Energy Examples</a> Response Checklists Formative assessment: Response checklists I share my favorite quote from “A Tour Through the School: What to Look For” because it reflects my ultimate goal. I desire to create an environment where students talk about books just like adults do. I would never ask students to do any thing I would not do myself. Discussing of what is read is a sharing of ideas and opinions. Questioning is an activity teachers do to “make sure children read it and got it right.” Questioning fosters remembering. To this end, I search for ways to manage the classroom when students are talking, to teach students how to talk to one another, to find ways to grade - just like any teacher does. I tackle simple participation first using Star Charts. (1) Ask lead questions. (2) Build on other’s ideas to sustain conversation. (3) Support opinions with evidence from the text or other sources. (4) Encourage one another. To help students assess these four discussion goals, I created another mapping sheet of sorts.
