September brings a level of hope for every parent/guardian as they want their child to be happy and successful in school.
Teachers, having just completed one or two days of professional development , also share a feeling of cautious optimism, coupled with a few unknowns. One of those unknowns is a new expectation the Ministry of Education has recently announced — a “back to basics” agenda. John Hattie, a research analyst, has identified a list of the most effective educational strategies to achieve student success. Suffice to say directors, superintendents, co-ordinators and consultants are cognizant of the most effective strategies, as ranked by Hattie.
A note on Hattie’s ranking: He indicates any activity rated .4 or better is very effective for student learning. When combining two or more foci, the effect on student ability is much greater. The next question might be, “How can we support our child at home to reinforce foundational activities, specifically in literacy and math?” In essence parents want their child to practise, day to day, what has been taught in school and reinforced at home so the knowledge becomes ingrained.
As children proceed through the school system, each grade will be charged with nuances and challenges of learning that require literacy/math skills that are fairly sophisticated. This will necessitate a focus on vocabulary and comprehension development in order for children to be competent, confident and successful in their academic abilities.
