Easy Reading Assesments

American Horror class…amazing ^^ This is a simplification of Stephen King’s “The Raft”. All animation done by me ^^ Enjoy

I’m for testing. But, when a school gets a bad grade on a state exam, the first solution always seems to be to add more reading and math classes to the kids’ day. As a music teacher, adding more rehearsals because of a bad state assessment rating would be viewed as merely stupid. I need to do a better job with the time I already have. If not, that’s just an extra hour or so of more ineffective teaching. Why do schools do this with reading and math? Instead of cutting electives to do extra reading, or having music and science teachers give reading lessons for the first 15 minutes of their classes, shouldn’t the teachers be re-evaluating their techniques and being more efficient with the 50 or so minutes of instruction they already have with the kids? I am not saying that the teachers are bad. You can be the best communicator in the world, but that particular way of teaching concept X just might not be working. An extra hour of the same thing isn’t going to make the child learn more.

We pay, through our tax dollars, for agencies like the EPA to protect and monitor the environment. Assumably this means that they have spent the money (pre assessment era) to collect information on the environment. Now they have started a process which makes industry responsible for providing a “drawn conclusion” for the agency to vote yes or no on. Aren’t we paying the agency itself to do this work and assess the environment? Why aren’t government agencies providing the basis for drawing a conclusion instead of asking a biased third party to provide the information? Better yet, are their salaries justified for simply reading a report (Environmental Impact Assessment) and saying yes or no? I thought we paid them to be experts.. . .

I applied as a service clerk, I read about people applying as pharmacy technicians but is it any different as a service clerk? From what I’ve read you go in a separate room on a computer to complete the assessment, is there an interview after that?

I am a reading specialist/clinician specializ(s)ing in the assessment and therapeutic intervention of learning disabled students. I am seeking a community of specialists (including psychologists/speech language pathologists/reading specialists) who work as a multi-disciplinary team and who are focussed on providing the means to achieve results. The practice may be part of either a private or a government agency. What is the best way to contact these agencies or to find out about their existence?
