 Persistent achievement gap
 School-to-prison pipeline, especially for African American
males
 Tendency for schools with high minority and/or high
poverty student populations to increase use of prescribed
curriculum and emphasize skill-and-drill while decreasing
opportunity for higher order thinking
 Instructional practices not guided by current educational
research and neuroscience
 Children’s educational trajectories are well-established
during the first year or two of school.
Current State of
Education
© FirstSchool 2013
The past decade has left too many
teachers feeling burnt out,
disrespected, and helpless. They see
themselves as needing to lie low, and
to tolerate mandates and programs
that are visited upon them in great
numbers, rather than feeling
motivated to contribute their voice to
key pedagogical decisions.
© FirstSchool 2013
Current Conditions - Teachers
The data suggest that after just five
years, between 40 and 50% of all
beginning teachers have left teaching
altogether.
(Ingersoll R. 2003)
Each year 10,000 top teachers leave
their schools or stop teaching.
(The New Teacher Project 2012)

Current Conditions - Teachers
Current Conditions:
Students
Early on, too many minority boys lose
their sense of eagerness and
excitement about school and adopt a
position of passive or aggressive
disengagement that often leads to
later school dropout.

 Provide educators with research and
professional development on educational

Reinvigorating professionalism to create a better workplace
culture for teachers is a core component of our vision for
PreK-3 reform and a prerequisite for meaningful action.

Facilitating the development of a
culture of collaborative inquiry
 Value teacher expertise
 Develop and sustain a mindset of
continuous improvement
 Move from evaluation toward
inquiry
 Move from a performance to a
mastery orientation
When teachers feel as if leaders are
working with them to determine how to
improve, instead of working on them to
fix their instruction, the rules and
regulations that govern school reform
start to feel humanizing.
© FirstSchool 2013
R E S P E C T
 When administrators develop a caring professional
community, provide teachers with opportunities for
meaningful participation in decision-making, and
emphasize high expectations for both staff and
students, they bolster individual and community
resilience capabilities (Henderson & Milstein, 2003).
 Within this atmosphere, intellectual curiosity, greater
competence, openness and willingness to share, and
an increased capacity to contribute can thrive.
© FirstSchool 2013
STRENGTH
Tackling whole-school reform is no
small task! Administrators can ease
their own burden by providing
excellent teachers with the trust and
space to share their skills and guide
their colleagues and using teacher
leadership to sustain change.

Attachment
 Positive teacher-child relationships are the foundation
that allows children to explore classrooms and actively
engage in learning opportunities.
 Emotional quality of the classroom, including warmth of
adult-child interactions and adults’ ability to respond to
children in a sensitive and individualized manner, is a
consistent predictor of both reading and math skills.
 Children show the largest gains in social skills and largest
decreases in behavior problems when teachers reported
warm relationships with children.
© FirstSchool 2013
Benefits for Self-Regulated Individuals
As children develop self-regulation, they:
 ignore distractions
 focus and attend
 delay gratification
 persist in challenging situations
 recognize that others have needs
 ask for help
 plan and think deliberately,
 control emotions and express them
appropriately
 work toward their goals.
(McClelland, Acock, & Morrison, 2002).
© FirstSchool 2013
It is essential that teachers recognize the contributions of self-
regulation to learning and support its development by:
 limiting arbitrary rules
 promoting student choice in physical comfort and work experiences,
 insisting upon physical activity and movement
 soliciting and incorporating the perspectives and contributions of each
child
 routinely including opportunities for choice.
© FirstSchool 2013
Self-Regulation
 Resting brain of boys is sleeping.
 Boys are more emotionally sensitive.
 Young boys prefer real world connections and using
their own imagination
 Boys tend to prefer having space when they learn.
 Movement helps boys manage and relieve impulsive
behavior.
Some things we know about boys…
© FirstSchool 2013
Classroom observation is a potent form of professional
development. It helps teachers:
• develop their own reflective practice
• share their strengths and admit their challenges
• gain new ideas and fresh perspectives about teaching
• improve the quality of the learning experiences made
available to students.
(Sheppard, Leifer, & Carryer, 1998)

Classroom Observation

child experience of activity settings,
curriculum content, and teaching
approaches
 CLASS: Global view of child experience
of emotional climate, classroom
organization and instructional support
© FirstSchool 2013
Lenses for Examining Practice
Using data from the Snapshot and CLASS
to view children’s experiences across the
PreK-3 continuum helps identify
dramatic shifts in experience throughout
a typical day or from grade to grade, as
well as periods of static sameness that
are unresponsive to children’s
developmental abilities and needs.
© FirstSchool 2013
Incorporating a
developmental perspective
Getting children off to a good start:
What teachers do really matters!
“If a bad year is compounded by other bad years, it
may not be possible for the student to recover.”
(Hanushek, 2010).
An effective teacher can have a stronger influence
on student achievement than poverty, language
background, class size, and minority status (Aaronson,
Barrow, Sander, 2007; Darling-Hammond, 2000; Jacob, Lefgren, & Sims,
2008; Kane & Staiger, 2008; Nye, Konstantopoulos, & Hedges, 2004; Rivkin,
Hanushek,& Kain, 2005; Rockoff, J., 2004; Rothstein, J, 2010).

Using Research to Guide Practice:
Ending the Culture of Silence
* A classroom emphasis on oral language
development has been identified as
one of the premier instructional
strategies for ensuring the success of
children, especially those from low
socio-economic communities (Mason &
Galloway, 2012).
* Oral language development influences vocabularies in young children
(Snow, 2007) suggesting discrepancies in young children’s vocabularies
in prekindergarten may remain throughout their schooling.
* Vocabulary proficiency is a predictor of academic achievement beginning
as early as the third grade (Storch & Whitehurst, 2002).

Current State of Education © FirstSchool 2013
  • 9. The past decade has left too many teachers feeling burnt out, disrespected, and helpless. They see themselves as needing to lie low, and to tolerate mandates and programs that are visited upon them in great numbers, rather than feeling motivated to contribute their voice to key pedagogical decisions. © FirstSchool 2013 Current Conditions - Teachers
  • 10. The data suggest that after just five years, between 40 and 50% of all beginning teachers have left teaching altogether. (Ingersoll R. 2003) Each year 10,000 top teachers leave their schools or stop teaching. (The New Teacher Project 2012) © FirstSchool 2013 Current Conditions - Teachers

  • 17. When teachers feel as if leaders are working with them to determine how to improve, instead of working on them to fix their instruction, the rules and regulations that govern school reform start to feel humanizing. © FirstSchool 2013 R E S P E C T
  • 18.  When administrators develop a caring professional community, provide teachers with opportunities for meaningful participation in decision-making, and emphasize high expectations for both staff and students, they bolster individual and community resilience capabilities (Henderson & Milstein, 2003).  Within this atmosphere, intellectual curiosity, greater competence, openness and willingness to share, and an increased capacity to contribute can thrive. © FirstSchool 2013 STRENGTH
  • 19. Tackling whole-school reform is no small task! Administrators can ease their own burden by providing excellent teachers with the trust and space to share their skills and guide their colleagues and using teacher leadership to sustain change. © FirstSchool 2013 TRUST

  • 26. Attachment  Positive teacher-child relationships are the foundation that allows children to explore classrooms and actively engage in learning opportunities.  Emotional quality of the classroom, including warmth of adult-child interactions and adults’ ability to respond to children in a sensitive and individualized manner, is a consistent predictor of both reading and math skills.  Children show the largest gains in social skills and largest decreases in behavior problems when teachers reported warm relationships with children. © FirstSchool 2013
  • 27. Benefits for Self-Regulated Individuals As children develop self-regulation, they:  ignore distractions  focus and attend  delay gratification  persist in challenging situations  recognize that others have needs  ask for help  plan and think deliberately,  control emotions and express them appropriately  work toward their goals. (McClelland, Acock, & Morrison, 2002). © FirstSchool 2013
  • 28. It is essential that teachers recognize the contributions of self- regulation to learning and support its development by:  limiting arbitrary rules  promoting student choice in physical comfort and work experiences,  insisting upon physical activity and movement  soliciting and incorporating the perspectives and contributions of each child  routinely including opportunities for choice. © FirstSchool 2013 Self-Regulation

  • 30. Classroom observation is a potent form of professional development. It helps teachers: • develop their own reflective practice • share their strengths and admit their challenges • gain new ideas and fresh perspectives about teaching • improve the quality of the learning experiences made available to students. (Sheppard, Leifer, & Carryer, 1998) Utilize the Power of Classroom Observation © FirstSchool 2013

  • 32. Using data from the Snapshot and CLASS to view children’s experiences across the PreK-3 continuum helps identify dramatic shifts in experience throughout a typical day or from grade to grade, as well as periods of static sameness that are unresponsive to children’s developmental abilities and needs. © FirstSchool 2013 Incorporating a developmental perspective
  • 33. Getting children off to a good start: What teachers do really matters! “If a bad year is compounded by other bad years, it may not be possible for the student to recover.” (Hanushek, 2010). An effective teacher can have a stronger influence on student achievement than poverty, language background, class size, and minority status (Aaronson, Barrow, Sander, 2007; Darling-Hammond, 2000; Jacob, Lefgren, & Sims, 2008; Kane & Staiger, 2008; Nye, Konstantopoulos, & Hedges, 2004; Rivkin, Hanushek,& Kain, 2005; Rockoff, J., 2004; Rothstein, J, 2010). © FirstSchool 2013

  • 36. Using Research to Guide Practice: Ending the Culture of Silence * A classroom emphasis on oral language development has been identified as one of the premier instructional strategies for ensuring the success of children, especially those from low socio-economic communities (Mason & Galloway, 2012). * Oral language development influences vocabularies in young children (Snow, 2007) suggesting discrepancies in young children’s vocabularies in prekindergarten may remain throughout their schooling. * Vocabulary proficiency is a predictor of academic achievement beginning as early as the third grade (Storch & Whitehurst, 2002). © FirstSchool 2013
