experience teaching and the experience gained through leadership positions have
allowed her the ability to have a larger influence on the education of students in
her district. Currently she holds a dual position of Superintendent and San Manuel
Jr./ Sr. High School Principal. Being a servant at heart, she always seeks ways to
improve the lives of those around her, especially the lives of children. Mrs. Dale-Scott
misses the classroom and always wants to remember that invaluable experience
when leading the district.

Secretary DeVos Promotes More Local Control & School Choice Secretary Betsy DeVos blasted Washington, teacher’s unions and “defenders of the
status quo” July 20th as she pledged to shrink the role of the federal government in
U.S. schools and colleges. “This drives the big-government folks nuts, but it’s
important to reiterate: Education is best addressed at the state, local and family
levels,” DeVos said, winning applause from lawmakers gathered in Denver for the
annual meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Conference (ALEC), an
influential group known for promoting conservative policy goals nationwide. DeVos
has long been an ardent proponent of giving states more power over education. But in recent weeks some
conservatives have questioned her moves as the Education Department began reviewing state plans to
implement a far-reaching new federal law: Every Student Succeeds Act. State officials viewed some of the
department’s feedback as overreaching and the criticism nitpicking, seemingly out of line with DeVos’s
pledge to get Washington out of the way. In her remarks Thursday, she assured state legislators nationwide
that she had no intention of overstepping and that she is seeking ways to shrink the federal footprint in
education. For Full Article: Source: Washington Post, By Emma Brown, 7/20/2017 & Smart Brief
New Report Provides Education Leaders with
School Interventions That Work As state, district and school leaders begin work under the
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to identify and
intervene in low-performing schools and among under-
achieving groups of students, a new report released July
2017 by the Alliance for Excellent Education offers action
steps and research-backed solutions to guide their work.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), states and
districts chose from a handful of school interventions
approved by the U.S. Department of Education. ESSA,
which replaced NCLB, grants states and districts much
more flexibility, stipulating that states must identify schools
for improvement based on the performance of all
students as well as individual groups of students, but it
largely leaves the type of intervention up to schools and
districts. The report, School Interventions That Work: Target-
ed Support for Low-Performing Students, breaks out key
steps in the identification and improvement process,
focusing on (1) a diagnosis of school needs; (2) a plan to
improve schools; and (3) evidenced-based interventions
that work.

Supreme Court Sends Clear Message
that Religious Discrimination Cannot Be
Tolerated In July 2017 the Supreme Court of the United
States announced its ruling in Trinity Lutheran
Church of Columbia vs. Comer, holding that
the government may not deny a generally
available benefit on account of religious
identity. After the ruling, U.S. Secretary of
Education Betsy DeVos released the following
statement: “This decision marks a great day for
the Constitution and sends a clear message
that religious discrimination in any form cannot
be tolerated in a society that values the First
Amendment. We should all celebrate the fact
that programs designed to help students will
no longer be discriminated against by the
government based solely
on religious affiliation.”
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos Delivers on Promise of Year Round Pell Grants and
Increased Flexibility for Students July 19th, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced Year Round Pell Grants will be available to
students beginning July 1, 2017. This policy change will ensure hundreds of thousands of college students
have the resources needed to finish their coursework in a timeframe that meets their individual needs. "This
decision is about empowering students and giving them the flexibility and support needed to achieve their
goals," said Secretary DeVos. "Expanding access to the Pell program, so that students who need additional
resources can graduate more quickly and with less debt, is the right thing to do."

Save the Date! Great Arizona ShakeOut Arizona is Earthquake Country! Arizo-
nan’s need to know that. So the Geo-
logic Extension Service and Arizona
Dept. of Emergency & Military Affairs
are kicking off the 2017 promotional
efforts on behalf of the Great Arizona
ShakeOut 2017. This year’s ShakeOut is
scheduled for Thursday, October 19th
at 10:19 a.m.; perfectly timed for par-
ticipation of Arizona’s K-12 school
children and teachers. This is the 6th
consecutive year that Arizona has
joined this national and global effort to
raise awareness on how to behave
during ground shaking that accompa-
nies moderate to large earthquakes.
The 2-minute ShakeOut Drop, Cover, &
Hold-On exercise is simple - easy to
practice and learn -, saves lives and
reduces serious injuries.
Are Arizona’s Rural Schools in a State of Emergency? Why Rural Matters, a 50-state report released June 14th by the
nonprofit, nonpartisan Rural School and Community Trust,
describes inequities in funding and opportunity that are leading
to significant gaps in opportunity and achievement. The report
urges state and federal leaders to make rural students and their
communities a far greater priority. Along with a state snapshot,
the report also provides analysis of STEM, early education, English-
language learner programs in rural school districts and offers
solutions. Approximately 135 of Arizona’s 223 school districts are
considered rural by the Arizona Rural Schools Association. They
serve about 35 percent of all students in the state, according to
Don German, ARSA’s executive director. German said legislators,
particularly those from rural areas, need to focus more on policy
that will help students in rural schools, and stand up against those
that are inequitable and disproportionately favor districts in
metropolitan areas. He cites as examples Empowerment
Scholarship Accounts, the voucher-style program that was
expanded this year and allows parents to receive state funds for
private schools, and results-based funding, which rewards high-
performing schools with additional state dollars. Results-based
funding was touted by Gov. Doug Ducey and passed by the
Legislature in the state budget for fiscal year 2018. “ESAs are not
beneficial to rural Arizona because there is no other choice for
most students than their local public school, so funding to make it
the best possible place for an education should be a priority,”
said German. “Results-based funding only works in a totally even
playing field for all students and rural students are already starting
behind.” Source: Arizona Education News Service, 7/14/2017
Teacher Survey Reveals Supportive School Environments, but
Unreasonable Class Sizes Arizona educators said in a recent survey that school leaders earned a B
for creating trusting, supportive environments and addressing teacher
concerns, but gave them an F for class size, and use of teachers’ time to
plan, collaborate and eliminate barriers to instruction. School leadership
and use of time were the two most important conditions that factor into
educators’ decisions whether to continue teaching at their schools, according to results from the 2017
Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning (TELL) survey. The results of the statewide survey, which was
administered this spring and open to every public school district teacher in the state, were revealed in June
at the Arizona K12 Center’s 12th Annual Teacher Leadership Institute in Tucson. Survey results became availa-
ble June 21st and can be viewed at the state, district and individual school level on www.TELLArizona.org.
The survey had a 31 percent response rate. “The TELL survey results serve mostly to validate what most of us
who serve the education community already know: Far too many teachers feel undervalued, and leader-
ship at schools matters greatly,” said Bobbie O’Boyle, executive director of Arizona Educational Foundation.
Dr. Heather Cruz, president of Arizona School Administrators, said, “Research tells us that leadership truly
makes a difference with students and student achievement and is second only in magnitude to the teacher
in the classroom.” The TELL survey was the first in a series of educator surveys over several years sponsored by
the Arizona K12 Center, Arizona Education Association, Arizona Educational Foundation, Arizona Association
of School Business Officials and the Arizona School Boards Association. Source: Arizona Education News

Shift to Continue Supporting the Most Frustrating Kids Below, Alex Shevrin’s blog discusses the challenge about challenging kids and how to work with them.
My most challenging student is not inherently challenging as a human being — but I need to own that it’s
challenging for me to work with them. Once I take responsibility for my own emotions, I am now in a position
to transform them. It’s not about not feeling hopeless, defeated and powerless in the face of challenging
student behaviors. These are normal responses we can expect to have as humans in relationship with other
humans who are struggling. Instead, we need to own the emotions and work to make meaning of them. This
means taking the time to dig into questions like:
Why am I feeling this way?
Could this feeling give me insight into how my student is feeling?
What does it mean about me that I feel so frustrated, lost or hopeless?
Does it change my conception of myself as a teacher, as a person?
What do my students’ challenges bring up for me? How does my own history
influence my responses? For Full Article, Source: Mind/Shift How We Learn, By Alex Shevrin, 4/24/2017
Chan-Zuckerberg to Push Ambitious New Vision for Personalized Learning Pediatrician Priscilla Chan and Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg are gearing up to invest
hundreds of millions of dollars a year in a new vision of “whole-child personalized learning,” with the aim of
dramatically expanding the scope and scale of efforts to provide every student with a customized
education. The emerging strategy represents a high-stakes effort to bridge longstanding divides between
competing visions for improving the nation’s schools. Through their recently established Chan Zuckerberg
Initiative, the billionaire couple intends to support the development of software that might help teachers
better recognize and respond to each student’s academic needs—while also supporting a holistic approach
to nurturing children’s social, emotional, and physical development. For Full Article, Source: Education Week, By Benjamin Herald

The Benefits of Digital Journaling By Francesca Perrone-Britt Journaling is a great way to measure students’ reading comprehension. When I first began teaching seven
years ago, I had students record their thoughts about what they read in traditional composition books. It was
simple and effective. We recently transitioned to a digital format and it’s been a positive experience. Our
school uses digital-library software myON for reading and journaling. Here are the benefits I’ve seen: More meaningful responses. Today’s students are digital natives. They grew up with a device in their hands.
As such, when they record their reflections in their journals, they are comfortable and their responses are
more thoughtful and meaningful.
Personalized goals. My class and I use the dashboard in myON to make groups based on the students’
literacy goals. Those who wish to focus on reading fluency or vocabulary can personalize their project to
reflect that and emphasize those skills in their journal responses.
More ways to be creative. Digital journaling is a good way for students to flex their creative muscle. Most
journaling platforms support the use of images, video, and audio. Some allow users to draw and color. These
are all fun ways for students to reflect and personalize insights from their reading.
Improved confidence. Some students read at a lower level than others. The
privacy and autonomy of the digital platform has helped these students grow. I
see it in their journal entries. Their responses show a boost in confidence and
deeper comprehension of the content.
Reduced grading time. Digital journaling has improved not only my students’
learning experience, but it has also improved assessments and grading. I can
now look at everyone’s work without having to bring home 15 journals a night.

This Social Media Platform is the Worst for
Cyberbullying While social media is a great way to socialize with
friends and family, it can also be a magnet for heck-
lers. Unfortunately, Instagram has more cyberbullies
than any other platform, according to new research.
Scientists from Ditch the Label, an anti-bullying
charity, conducted a study to determine how social
media can cause anxiety among youth. By surveying
more than 10,000 people aged 12 to 20, they
examined cyberbullying on Facebook, Snapchat,
Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Overall, 68 percent
of people had been sent a nasty private message
and 39 percent of people said they had a nasty
comment posted on their profile. But Instagram was
the most concerning. They found that 42 percent of
Instagram users had been bullied on the platform
compared to 37 percent for Facebook, 31 percent
for Snapchat, 10 percent for YouTube and 9 percent
for Twitter.

Family Literacy on Your
Smartphone For years, we've been talking
about how adult English language
learners (ELLs) make up a
significant part of the estimated 36
million adults in the U.S. who read
at a 3rd-grade level or below. Only 10% of adult ELLs
are able to take advantage of federally funded
programs. So what about the forgotten 90% who are
severely underserved? It's time to stop talking about
teaching adults English reading and start taking
action. Recent data shows that adult ELLs engaging
in a blended model of in-person and at-home
smartphone-based learning improved at an
average of 7.8 points on the CASAS scale. (CASAS is
an assessment designed to test language
proficiency and mastery.) These are significant gains
achieved in just 10 weeks. This tells us that the
blended approach works. Now, we have to scale it
up. For More Information: Source: Education Week, By

The Top 10 Tips for Being the Best Parent You Can Be
1. There are no perfect parents – mistakes are chances to learn.
2. Take care of yourself so you have energy to care for your children.
3. Don’t live through your kids – meet your needs through your own efforts.
4. Support and give your children the skills to solve their own problems – avoid
being a “helicopter” parent.
5. You have many years to raise your children – focus on one or two concerns at a time.
6. Pick and choose from your upbringing how you want to parent.
7. Create family traditions to pass on memories and values.
8. “Get on the same page” for larger parenting decisions with those who share in your children’s care.
9. Seek support when you need it.
10. Maintain a sense of humor.
All parents are making the best decisions they can about their children’s needs, given their past
experiences, the information they have, and the circumstances they face.
There are no perfect parents and often when parents do strive for perfection, they become exhausted and
can feel inadequate.
Parents and their children are better off when moms and dads:
take care of themselves,
give themselves credit for all the good things they are doing,
have people in their lives who will offer them support and appreciation for their efforts.
Parenting is the most important job that any of us ever have: raising children to become responsible, caring,
compassionate, and resilient. It is also one of the most challenging and frustrating. Parents need and
deserve support and information to help them do the best they can in this critical task.
