Basic proficiency in reading and mathematics is a foundation for later success in schooling, but not all children master the fundamental skills needed for proficiency at the same rate in their early years. This indicator looks at the different rates at which children who started kindergarten in fall 1998 mastered fundamental reading and mathematics skills.

Strong People, Strong Economy Key Priorities Success for Students Ontario will be the place to be when people have the education, skills and opportunities to contribute to a vibrant economy and a cohesive society. We will succeed when our students succeed. We must begin with the early years, so that our children are ready to learn when they start school. A strong, vibrant, publicly funded education system gives our children a clear competitive advantage in an increasingly complex global economy. If we get public education right, we can develop the best educated, most highly skilled workforce, one that can compete with the world for the best jobs. We also get engaged citizens who will help build strong, caring communities. This government's efforts in the past year have been focused on making schools good learning environments. Children cannot do their best learning, nor can teachers provide the best teaching, in crumbling schools dealing with stressed budgets. Province-wide testing in 2002/03 indicated that only about 55 percent of Grade 6 students met the provincial standard (level 3 or above) in reading, writing and math. Our students can do better. We are working to turn this situation around and deliver excellence in public education. We owe it to our kids, our society, our economy and our future.

LEARNING CURVE ARCHIVES SEARCH SITE MAP CONTACT US ... Publications Public Policy PK Expulsion Ending the Need for Social Promotion By Ruby Takanishi, President, Foundation for Child Development The good news is that we know how to pave that pathway. Aligning the standards, curriculum, and assessment of these levels of education should be a high priority. Several states, including Georgia and Oklahoma, begin public education at age four with universal preschools. Evaluations from both states show that low income children enrolled in such programs demonstrated improvement in their cognitive and language skills. The benefits of full-day Kindergarten versus half-day Kindergarten are also clear. When prek and full-day Kindergarten are reinforced by Grades 1 to 3, the results can be spectacular. Those who do not acquire the basic reading and mathematical skills by the third grade are at serious disadvantage when they enter the last years of elementary school. They will struggle to complete middle and high school. The costs of remedial efforts are high and the efficacy of the interventions can be modest.

In DOL Printer-friendly version ( HTML PDF Nature of the Work Working Conditions ... Sources of Additional Information Significant Points Public school teachers must have at least a bachelor’s degree, complete an approved teacher education program, and be licensed. Many States offer alternative licensing programs to attract people into teaching, especially for hard-to-fill positions. Excellent job opportunities are expected as a large number of teachers retire over the next 10 years, particularly at the secondary school level; opportunities will vary somewhat by geographic area and subject taught. Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and “hands-on” approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. They utilize “props” or “manipulatives” to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. For example, they teach the concepts of numbers or of addition and subtraction by playing board games. As the children get older, the teachers use more sophisticated materials, such as science apparatus, cameras, or computers. To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and think through problems logically. Teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop these skills.

What to do if Vehicle Stalls on Tracks Part 3 Review GUIDE TO THE PRESENTATION The attention span of children in this group is very short. They become restless very quickly, and do not listen well. They must be engaged in the program early in the presentation or their attention will be elsewhere. To gain and keep their interest, responses from them are solicited frequently throughout the program. Their visual attention is attracted by early and repeated use of flipcards. Presenters are encouraged to use other devices, such as gestures, movement, and tempo changes to keep interest high. The topics to be covered are limited - there are only seven, each supported by a flipcard. Note that there are no references to the speed, weight or stopping distances of trains. Children of the ages found in these classes have no reference point to make such statistics meaningful. The presenter should be very cautious about adding material to the presentation, because material which the children cannot understand is not only wasted, it detracts from the effectiveness of the rest of the presentation.

Children and the Curriculum: The Kindergarten Program Multi-grade Classrooms It is sometimes necessary for Kindergarten and Grade 1, Kindergarten to Grade 2 or other combinations of children to be taught by the same teacher. More time is required for preparing and organizing, but it is possible to offer an activity-centred program with suitable learning activities for all children. In a multi-grade classroom, cooperation is essential. Older children become tutors of their younger peers. This reinforces their knowledge, and skills and bolsters their self-confidence. Small, multi-aged cooperative groups, with each child having a role, are commonplace. The children soon become independent, responsible learners, thus allowing the teacher to circulate and meet with small groups and individuals. In collaboration, children can write, illustrate and read stories. They can record and graph observations, produce plays, and create poems and songs. It is often effective for teachers to introduce a concept to the entire class with a discussion that includes asking differentiated questions of the different grades. Then, following the discussion a special learning centre related to the concept and including appropriate activities for the varying grade levels could be available. Teachers have found that clearly defined rules and routines are necessary and that subject-integrated, open-ended activities work best in multi-grade situations.

Reducing Class Size: A Review of the Literature and Options for Consideration By David C. Illig, Ph. D. Prepared at the Request of Senator Lucy Killea June 11, 1996 This paper summarizes project STAR a Tennessee class size reduction demonstration project. In addition, it reviews the research literature on the relationship between class size and student performance. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of options that could improve the effectiveness of a class size reduction program. INTRODUCTION THE TENNESSEE STUDY SHOWED MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN PERFORMANCE FOR STUDENTS IN SMALLER CLASSES Experimental Design Findings ... VIEW TABLE 1 REDUCING CLASS SIZE: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND OPTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION INTRODUCTION Currently, there are four class size reduction proposals before the Legislature. Table 1 compares these proposals. Three initiatives (SB 1414, Greene; AB 2449, Alpert; and the Governor's) are similar in that they propose either a reduction in class size or a reduction in student/teacher ratio to about 20 students, for either grades one through three or for kindergarten through grade three. A fourth bill (AB 2821, Richter) provides that 95 percent of any funds appropriated for class size reduction should be distributed to school sites. This bill does not specify any class size goal. A fifth bill (AB 2700, Sher) provides an appropriation for facilities if legislation reducing class size is passed and signed by the Governor. This latter bill is not included in the side-by-side, because it does not propose a reduction in class size.
