The Parent Teacher Podcast Kaycee

- Utbildning
What is going on in schools? Are we meeting the needs of all students? What questions should we be asking? I'm Kaycee, a long time educator, adult with ADHD, parent, and founder of ReorientED Advocacy. I love talking to people about topics that add to our understanding of parenting and education, so we can work together to support all learners. I call it "backward planning for adulting" and have a particular passion for increasing independence in twice exceptional students, those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and executive functioning issues.

Homework... Good, bad, necessary? (A quick research review...)
My thoughts on a contentious issue. Not super scientific, but I pointed to several resources:
Harris Cooper synthesized research in the mid 90's, and is often cited as support for giving kids homework: https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2019/03/homework-research-how-much/585889/
Alfie Kohn, author of "The Homework Myth" takes issue with Cooper's conclusions. Read him here: https://www.edutopia.org/no-proven-benefits
As I often do, I looked back in my library at an old favorite- Classroom Instruction that Works by Marzano, Pickering, and Pollack- get a copy on Amazon (holy cow, it's cheap!) https://www.amazon.com/Classroom-Instruction-that-Works-Research-Based/dp/0131195034
Takeaways: when judging the value of homework, consider the purpose of the task, don't use it as an assessment, keep the routine and structure familiar, check for understanding, and give timely feedback.

"Which part did you miss?" Central Auditory Processing Disorder with Dr. Jeanne Ferre (Audiologist)
When a child can technically "hear" but isn't making meaning of the sounds efficiently, it can really impact their learning and ability to function. In the classroom, this might look like inattention, difficulty decoding and reading, trouble following directions, or even attitude!
Dr. Jeanane Ferre is an expert in Central Auditory Processing Disorder, and explains why evaluation can help some kids get the support they need.
You can find out more about CAPD and services she provides at her website, https://dr-ferre.com/
For a more technical presentation, check out this youtube video where she talks about differential diagnosis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h3NpYAQ_-0

Twice-Exceptional, or "2E" and Gifted Learners- Important considerations with Robin Schader, PhD
What does it mean to be 'twice exceptional', '2E', or 'gifted'? I'm glad I was connected to Robin Schader, Ph.D, author of "To Be Gifted and Learning Disabled" so she could lend some perspective to this and promote an integrated, strengths-based approach to teaching learners.
You can read more about her and her work as well as Bridges Academy at bridges.edu.
Definitely check out the 2E Center Suite of Tools with the My Learning Print resource. https://www.bridges.edu/suite-of-tools-img-version.html
I'm hoping we'll have her back soon to talk more on My Learning Print!
