The results are based on a randomized, controlled study of the effectiveness of Project ALERT in 55 middle schools in South Dakota from 1997 to 1999. Nationwide, the program reaches more than 1 million adolescents in all 50 states. Compared with control students, Project ALERT students reduced their use of cigarettes, marijuana, and alcohol. The program was especially successful with the highest-risk early drinkers, substantially reducing their likelihood of engaging in risky forms of alcohol use (such as binge drinking) or of experiencing other problems from drinking. The program also helped keep those who had experimented with cigarettes from making the transition to regular smoking. "These early smokers and drinkers have substantially elevated risks for increased drug use and a variety of other high-risk behaviors such as violence, unsafe sex, and dropping out of school," said lead author Phyllis Ellickson.

These questions are taken from the Procedures section of this site. How should students be introduced to the instructional technologies employed in the course, given their different backgrounds and levels of facility with computers? What considerations will help shape the best mix of lecture, discussion, and problem solving in the computer classroom? How can lectures and computer-based problem solving reinforce each other in the classroom? How will students be able to do homework for the course without access to a computer at home? ... What other challenges to successful learning might arise when this course is migrated to a web-based medium? 1. How should students be introduced to the instructional technologies employed in the course, given their different backgrounds and levels of facility with computers? This is a central question for this project. I think several considerations are relevant to answering it. First, the students who sign up to take this section of Philosophy 21002 are a self-selected group of people who wish to take the class in the computer classroom. The Kent Campus Spring 2001 Schedule of Classes will clearly indicate that this section is to be taught in the computer classroom, will use instructional technology, and may require lab hours beyond scheduled class times. So it seems likely that virtually all of the students who choose this section of Introduction to Formal Logic will want to be in it.

Or when they seem to have read the material but have trouble retaining it? Chris Carlsmith facilitated a discussion of such issues during a Fall 1993 BYOB (Bring Your Own Brainstorm) lunch at the TRC. The main questions raised dealt with encouraging students to come to class prepared and what to do if they are not. Carlsmith, noting that students are more likely to be prepared if they see from the start that individual preparation matters, suggests the following: Make routine participation of every class member. Use regular written assignments, and vary the questions to add spice.

Research Issues in the Improvement of Mathematics Teaching and Learning through Professional Development George DeBoer, Kathleen Morris, Jo Ellen Roseman, and Linda Wilson Diagram to Aid Assessment Task Design The purpose of this paper is to describe a study we are conducting on the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning at the middle school level through professional development and to discuss some of the research issues that we have encountered in conducting the study. The paper will lay out the various rationales for our initial design and for the adjustments that we made along the way. We are nearing the end of year two of a five-year study, so this is very much a work in progress. The study is not large in terms of the number of teachers involved (approximately 50 teachers and 1,000 students per year in the early stages of the study), but it is a complex study involving many interconnected elements. In Part I we lay out the design of the study, and in Part II we discuss some of the issues that we are facing as we progress through our work.

However, the contents of this chapter may not be copied, printed, or distributed in hard copy form without permission.] A sizable portion of the work involved in teaching a large lecture course takes place well before the first day of classes. For example, in a seminar you can make a spur-of-the-moment assignment, but in large classes you may need to distribute written guidelines. Similarly, in small classes students can easily turn in their homework during class. In large lectures you must decide how to distribute and collect papers without consuming precious class time. All these tasks take planning and organization. Many of the following suggestions for teaching large classes will also work for small classes: good teaching practices apply to classes of any type.

Extractions: Contents Back Next by Rhetta L. Detrich Lisa, an Illinois resident, admits that she knows very little about the proposed modifications to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Bush administration's plan for annual student testing, and the recent changes to the Illinois teacher certification process. Her lack of understanding of recent education policy makes Lisa a typical Illinois citizen in many regards. What makes Lisa's situation unlike that of the average citizen is that she is a first-year teacher in a suburban Chicago high school, and the critical education issues being weighed in political arenas have a direct impact on her life as a teacher as well as on those of educators throughout the nation. Most teachers recognize the importance of the educational policies that influence their teaching, but few pay close attention to the politics that engineer such policies. This distinction is subtle, but important. Education policies are rules or governing mandates that outline what teachers should, can, or cannot do in the course of their teaching. Politics, on the other hand, is the process by which those rules and mandates are raised, discussed, wrangled over, and ultimately decided upon. Many talented and dedicated teachers see the impact of education policies and politics on their work in the classroom in ways that either hinder or support their teaching. Both directly affect the lives of educators. In turn, educators would benefit by increasing their involvement in, remaining knowledgeable of, and even influencing the political machines that generate educational policy. However, with lessons to plan, papers to grade, and students to meet, staying current on education politics can seem like an ineffective use of valuable and limited time. As one elementary school teacher says, "Politics never crosses my mind when I have students who are struggling to read and a stack of papers that need to be graded. Politics just isn't something that impacts my teaching on a daily basis."
Extractions: ISSUE : Learning does not mean simply receiving and remembering a transmitted message; instead, "educational research offers compelling evidence that students learn mathematics well only when they construct their own mathematical understanding " (Mathematical Sciences Education Board, 1989, p. 58). When educators begin to see learning as knowledge construction, they change their thinking about curriculum, instruction, and assessment, developing more powerful approaches to connecting thinking and mathematics and designing more mathematically significant instructional learning experiences . Such learning experiences are: OVERVIEW: The national call for reform in mathematics teaching and learning can seem overwhelming, because it requires a complete redesign of the content of school mathematics and the way it is taught. The basis for reform is the widespread belief that the United States must "restructure the mathematics curriculum - both what is taught and the way it is taught - if our children are to develop the mathematical knowledge (and the confidence to use that knowledge) that they will need to be personally and professionally competent in the twenty-first century" (Mathematical Sciences Education Board, 1990, p. 1). Simply producing new texts and retraining teachers will not be sufficient to address the major changes being recommended.

Number 3 Ghazi Gaith (Lebanon) Alternative assessment is a useful means of gathering evidence regarding how learners approach, process, and complete real life tasks in the target language. Labels such as performance authentic informal , and situated , have been used to describe alternative assessment. Despite the different labels, what is common among these types of assessment is that they do not adhere to the traditional testing criteria of objectivity, machine scorability, standardization, or cost-effectiveness (Huerta-Macias 1995). Alternative assessment uses a wide variety of formats, such as checklists, journals, reading logs, portfolios, videos of role-plays, audio-tapes of discussions, self-evaluation questionnaires, teacher observations, and anecdotal records to assess the performance of students. These formats show what the students can actually do rather than what they are able to recall. Alternative assessment reflects the curriculum being taught and provides information on the strengths and weaknesses of each student. Furthermore, it provides multiple ways of determining the progress of students and can be more culturally sensitive and free of the linguistic and cultural biases inherent in traditional testing (Huerta-Macias 1995).

The first treatise on logic is Aristotle's Prior Analytics , written around 350 B.C. and there are remarkable similarities between the way he presented his theory of valid arguments and the way it is still taught today. He analyzes the form of various inferences and then illustrates them with concrete examples. He begins with very simple cases:

My child got homework every night. And as if that weren't enough, he also had to complete at home what he did not finish at school. I know there were children in my son's class who seemed to be able to sit and do the work, but there were also a lot who couldn't. Why has kindergarten turned into so much work, and what can I expect as my child enters first grade?
