  • Resources to Help Struggling Students

    My Town Tutors is a great resource for parents & teachers. Check out our Guest Blogs for Education, Parents, Travel, Tutoring, Sports, Music and College.

    From The Online Science Educator
    By Linda and Peter Jeschofnig, Co-Founders of Hands-On Labs
    How can instructors help struggling students who need tutoring and more assistance than the course time allows? For students willing to put in the extra time and energy to genuinely grasp difficult concepts, there are many new websites that can effectively serve in a self-guided tutoring role. These sites provide students with visual and interactive aids that may drive their understanding better than traditional textual explanations.  They also provide instructors with easy access to a history of the students’ activities and progress.
    Most people think of the Khan Academy as just a collection of videos on various educational topics. However, it and similar tutorial sites like instaGrok have expanded into much larger interactive platforms that provide students with active learning and assessment tools and instructors with evaluation and tracking tools. These sites span areas of interest from elementary to college levels and cover the majority of academic topics, including the sciences. Plus, they are free!
    They are completely customizable, keeping  track of what is being learned and how much time is being spent on each topic. It is simple for teachers and coaches to quickly view their students’ data and get performance summaries to see where and if more help is needed. This tool can also guide the scheduling of content reviews to ensure more productive learning.
    When students complete these sites’ online exercises, the question “Are they learning or cheating?” can be affirmatively answered “Learning!”
    instaGrok displays an interactive web-like map with each web point representing a different concept. When a new concept’s webpoint is clicked, the web expands to related concepts, continually updating and displaying a list of key facts, images, a glossary, plus related websites, books, and videos. Graphs are kept of the student’s search history and the concepts that have been successfully covered. Students can even take notes and save key concepts in their site journal.
    Khan Academy is a great learning resource for teaching STEM topics. For math, it quizzes everything from simple calculations to calculus, letting the students check their answers as they go, get helpful hints if a reminder is needed, or watch engaging tutorial videos. The tutorial videos have question-and-answer forums that help students understand the concepts even further. Test preparation for SATs and other exams are offered as well.
    For the sciences, all disciplines from Biology and Astronomy to Organic Chemistry and Physics are covered and thoroughly addressed. In a unique selection of videos called “LeBron Asks,” NBA player LeBron James asks science questions related to certain aspects of basketball. One video addresses Newton’s third law and explains how equal and opposite force allows LeBron to make a basket. Another video explains the probability of LeBron making 10 consecutive free throws.
    The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) also has a section of fun and informative videos that help students realize how exciting science can be. These include some exceptionally “cool” topics such as flying robots and how to make clean water.
    Another way students can more thoroughly explore their online course topics is by simultaneously participating in all or parts of free MOOC, or Massive Open Online Course. The three major MOOC providers are edX, Coursera and Udacity.
    MIT and Harvard University partnered with edX to create not-for-profit, online-learning experiences in a variety of courses. Along with giving students an amazing free opportunity to learn from America’s most prestigious educators, “the institutions use edX to research how students learn and how technology can transform learning.”
    Coursera also partners with top universities to offer free online courses to anyone who wants to learn. A key factor in the Coursera system design “is the extensive use of interactive exercises, which are critical for student engagement and learning.”
    Udacity is another free online school whose “mission is to bring accessible, engaging, and effective higher education to the world.” Udacity also assists students in finding jobs and internships through their Career Placement Program with employers interested in finding employees who have gained specific skills and knowledge through Udacity’s courses.
    These recently available and expanding resources provide educators with more ways to enrich and expand self-directed student’ learning courses as well as offer effective tutorial assistance and encouragement to struggling students.

    “Yo, Miss, I don’t like reading, so save that crappy book for someone else.” This was both an exact quotation and the general consensus on day one in my ELA 8 class. To be precise, this is not “my” class per se; I am a middle school ELL (English Language Learners) teacher in an underperforming school in Massachusetts, and my role in this class is to provide ELL support to students with intermediate English skills.
    I recall looking at the book in my hand that I was attempting to pawn off on the class. In a way, this kid who declared this a “crappy” book had me over a barrel. This text looked pathetic. Were I still in 8th grade, I would turn up my nose at it the same way he did. In fact, every single book in the classroom stack of Walter Dean Myers’ 145th Street: Short Stories was in seriously sad shape. Pages were missing. Most of the covers were ripped. I remember glancing up at my co-teacher, who returned my look with a “oh-well-what’re-you-gonna-do” shrug.
    This is typical of the experience in an underperforming school. My school does not have automatic funds to replace worn materials at the drop of a hat. We usually make do with what we’ve got – and what we’ve got seems to diminish in number and quality by the day. What’s more, students here don’t come to school with freshly scrubbed faces and newly sharpened pencils, ready to just eat up every single lesson plan that their teachers have put countless hours into crafting. They tend to have issues and problems that make learning difficult. In the setting where I teach, my students are tough, hardscrabble kids, most of whom are refugees from harder lives in Puerto Rico. They are English Language Learners. They come from broken families. They live in poverty. They are hungry. Many are homeless. Yet my students are fiercely proud – and they should be. They are as deserving of healthy lives and better opportunities as any other person on the planet
    I teach in what is called a Gateway City in Massachusetts. My school has been deemed “underperforming” by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. We are in a school turnaround plan, a three-year endeavor that has required an all-hands-on-deck approach to reform. We are faced with what feels like an insurmountable task–but our resolve to succeed is unshakable. Giving these kids a chance at an education is the most valuable gift I can offer. The gangs and the streets wait outside the doors of our school every day. In spite of all economic and social obstacles, my job—my mission—is to convince the students I work with that learning and literacy are the ticket to a better path.
    Oh well. What are you going to do?
    My co-teacher and I forged ahead. We modeled fluent reading and guided students through comprehension exercises as we read 145th Street: Short Stories as a class. Class discussions began to get more lively. Kids asked questions about the characters in each story, making meaningful connections and writing insightful journal entries. By the time we finished 145th Street, every copy had fallen apart completely. Ceremoniously, we took the pages and made annotated murals as a final group project. The kids were visibly proud. It was beautiful.
    Knowing that it would be tough to replicate this experience for future classes, I thought about ways to raise funds to purchase a new set of books. A colleague in my ELL teaching community on Twitter had suggested writing a proposal on Donors Choose some time ago. I sat down at my computer one recent weekend and wrote. And wrote. I submitted a proposal on a Saturday evening, and by Monday morning I got word of its approval. I sent the link to my project at the Donors Choose website to everyone I know. Within 6 hours, my project was completely funded. I was overjoyed!
    Since the completion of this project, I have successfully submitted and funded another one, and I am now working on a proposal for materials to use in my role as an after school tutor. Tutoring is as vital as classroom instruction in the setting in which I work, possibly in all teaching and learning communities. There are ways to succeed even when circumstances are challenging, I have learned. Opportunities are everywhere, if we simply allow ourselves to see them.
    Kate Blair: M.Ed Reading Specialist, ELL teacher, passionate believer in social justice through increasing educational opportunities for children and families. I teach in an underperforming school in an urban setting in western Massachusetts. I work with kids who start with less in an effort to show them that life can be more. It hurts sometimes, but I love it. Connect on twitter @katrocada.

  • Free STEM Education, Anytime, Anywhere!

    Engineer4Free is a place where you can find material from university level engineering, math, and science classes that is broken down into 5-10 minute video tutorials. Certain videos provide in depth explanations of key concepts, but most are worked examples of typical problems a student would encounter.
    Whether you are struggling to understand a certain concept, or stuck on a specific problem you can likely find a tutorial on the website and be a master of the subject just a few minutes later. If you don’t understand the first time, try watching again until you have really hit the point home. I make all the tutorials in the way that I wish they were taught to me. I take it slow through everything so the viewer should have no doubt about the material.
    The project is nearing the end of its first year and there are currently four subjects available: Calculus, Linear Algebra, Chemistry, and C++ Programming. They are scheduled to be completed by the end of December, and four more subjects will be introduced early in the new year.
    The videos are concise and can even feel slow if you are familiar with a subject, yet all of the content covered in a typical semester of “Calculus I” can be observed in merely 5 and a half hours on Engineer4Free. The idea isn’t to race through everything; it’s just to get to the point.
    How is it that subjects can be taught in 1/10th of the time of university lectures? I’m still trying to figure that out, but with 100% positive feedback after delivering more than 20,000 lessons, I must be doing something right.
    Engineer4Free plans to become the number one source for free engineering tutorials. By April 2013, it should host about the same amount of information that a student would encounter in their first year of a general engineering program, and will just keep growing. Soon you will be able to find all major high level engineering subjects in one place, all for free.
    Engineer4Free isn’t competing with schools. Its helping students. Its also not just for engineers, it covers core math and science courses covered in a broad range of university programs. I encourage you to come check it out and share it with some students that you know!
    Bio: Braden is the creator of Engineer4Free. His goal is to make engineering education free and accessible to everyone. Working out of Canada, his lessons have already reached over 100 countries in less than one year. You can visit his website at www.engineer4free.com
