Verified Response Successful in Controversial Study
July 31, 2006
BERWYN, Pa. — Security system provider and monitoring company Sonitrol Corp. recently commissioned a study to assess the value of "verified response," a law enforcement tool used to decrease the number of false alarms. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, approximately 94 to 98 percent of all alarm activations police respond to are false. Verified response helps solve this by verifying alarms through a private security guard or through electronic video surveillance means.
The study shows police were able to reduce their dispatch rate by 72 percent and that burglary rates declined in the majority of jurisdictions with verified response in place for more than one year.
The Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC), however, disagrees with several aspects of the Sonitrol study. SIAC has gone on recording saying that the Sonitrol study is nothing more than an effort to promote the firm's two-way voice verification services.

This morning I'm standing on a bridge. An old railroad trestle, actually. A cold wind blows up from the river valley below. The roar of the water is muffled to a faint trickling from all the way up here. Even at this time of year, the coniferous trees all around me are a verdant green, and smell like Christmas. That was a month ago. I can't remember anything about what I did, just waking up with the stale taste of alcohol in my mouth.
I'm going to die today. This is going to be the last time I have to feel the pain of living. I've only come up with two ways to make it go away. The most obvious solution is suicide, but I keep screwing that up, waking up in intensive care feeling angry, alone, and ashamed. The other way is the oblivion of drugs. I've tried them all, but my favourites have always been vodka and cocaine. I haven't been without at least one of those every day for a very long time.
Cupping my hands around the cigarette that I realize I have just put in my mouth, my lighter clicks and I inhale a sickly yet familiar lungful of caustic chemicals. There is enough cocaine in my pocket for one last hit. Powder. Power. Release. I've been using the same needle for a long time. The graduated lines on the side of the plastic syringe are worn. I pull it out of my pocket, removing the plunger, along with enough coke to kill a normal person, and a bottle of vodka. The small plastic bag containing the drugs rustles as I unwrap it, and then gently pour the contents into the syringe. Replacing the plunger, I push it down, compressing the off-white contents. People say vodka doesn't smell, but as soon as I unscrew the top from the ice cold bottle, its acerbic stench is carried to my nostrils by the wind. I stopped using water to prepare a hit long ago. Why carry an extra bottle around? I have to angle the already half empty bottle to get the alcohol close enough to the bottle's mouth to insert the needle and suck up enough liquid for my shot.
It's gotten really hard to find a vein on my scarred arms. I can't see their light green; I can only feel for them. I have to poke around a few times before pulling back the plunger results in a beautiful cloud of crimson in the chamber. With deliberate speed, I depress the plunger, and almost instantly taste cocaine, vodka, and baking soda. These are heavily cut street drugs. It takes a few seconds for the poison to work its way through my veins to my brain, during which time the anticipation is almost unbearable. Blood trickles down my arm, warm and almost viscous. Then the rush hits me. I can only describe it as an exquisite, peaceful euphoria. My vision blurs, my ears ring, and I sit down on the edge of one of the railroad ties, legs dangling over the edge. For a few minutes, I am okay. Nothing matters.
The effects wear off quickly. My mind and body scream for more. I start to panic, and drink most of the remaining vodka. For the first time, I actually look around, seeing rolling hills in the distance, and feeling the rough, sticky wood of the trestle. As I remove my jacket containing the suicide note, which I only wrote because that's what people do in the movies, something farther down the bridge catches my eye. Walking towards it, I recognize bouquets of flowers, fresh ones, smelling of vibrant life, of spring, the appearance of which is all the more jarring given the freezing weather. They are piled beneath the framed photograph of a man, about my age. It looks like a professional picture, because the man in it is wearing a suit and tie, just like I used to when I still went to church.
Now standing before this makeshift memorial, I can make out the words on many handwritten notes taped nearby. The man in the picture did the same thing I was about to do. One note spoke of his funeral, and how cheated a member of his family felt because they didn't get to see him for one last time. Jumping from that height would definitely result in a closed casket. The others talked about how much they loved him, missed him, wished he'd just come out and talked to them about whatever he was going through that made him do what he did. For the first time in my pathetic, nihilistic life I really understood why people call suicide the most selfish act. I had been thinking about destroying my life, but what about everyone else? Why do I want to die? Do I?

FULHAM have got their revenge for Mark Hughes' walkout by ordering his old
backroom staff to work with the kids.
Coaches Mark Bowen, Eddie Niedzwiecki and Kevin Hitchcock will be told to
train Fulham's Academy rookies when they report back for work tomorrow.
The three, who joined the club along with ex-boss Hughes, remain under
contract for another year as they did not have the same escape clause which
allowed Sparky to quit without notice on June 2.
But there is no place for Bowen, Niedzwiecki and Hitchcock among the first
team set-up.
Hughes' successor Martin Jol has brought in Martin Lindeman and promoted
long-serving coach Ray Lewington to work with him.
Hughes triggered his get-out clause amid speculation he was to take over from
Gerard Houllier at Aston Villa but it never materialised and Alex McLeish
got the job.
Sources close to Hughes insist he quit out of frustration with the Fulham
board and their failure to back him in the transfer market.
Fulham leave for the Faroes tomorrow defending a 3-0 Europa League lead
against NSI Runavik.

Benest's not allowing flags to half staff
Original post made by Jake, another community, on Aug 22, 2007
He still has not commented as to why he dis-honored the firefighters who were killed by not allowing the flags to be flown half staff. The man does not get it plain and simple, look at all of the postings from around the Country,

Benest will probabky never have to face the music. Look at what happened to Emily Harrison--she was suspended for malfeasance which would probably get you and me fired, but the city council showered her with praise. Benest will probably get a big fat raise, a substantial bonus and then the city council will vote to sign over the deed to the house he is living in--the cost will be passed on to the taxpayers.
Then the city council will get back to important things--climate change, travelling out of town on the taxpayers dime, and congatulating each other on a job well done.

There was also a panel of nursing professionals at the conference to take questions from the audience. Sara Shore, Director of Career Services attended the event and had some great things to say about the experience, "'Getting the Nursing Job of Your Dreams' is extremely relevant for nursing students to hear and to learn. The guest speaker did a fabulous job with engaging the students, and I think the panel of 8 nursing managers had very powerful testimonies about getting a RN position and working in the field"

South African Immigration Arrest and Detention Procedures
The South African Immigration Act gives officials broad powers to arrest foreign nationals suspected of being in contravention of the Act. Contraventions for which foreign nationals are most often arrested, include:
- Not being in possession of a visa or permit
- Being in possession of an expired visa or permit
- Being in possession of a visa or permit which is suspected to be forged or fake
- Contravening the conditions of a visa or permit by studying, working or running a business
South Africa prides itself on being a premier holiday and up-and-coming investment destination and 99.9% of foreign visitors will only experience warm smiles whilst in the country. For these reasons, most visitors will never be asked to produce their passport, permit or visa without good reason. However, immigration inspectorate officials have the power to call on any foreign national to prove their right to be in the country at any time. When so called upon, the individual must be able to do so "on the spot". Any irrational or unreasonable exercise of this power by immigration officials will never survive proper Constitutional scrutiny, but visitors are advised to take heed of the following advice when they find themselves in a spot of bother.
Why might you be arrested?
Immigration officials do not need a warrant to arrest someone, but will usually only act once they have good cause to do so. Much has been written on what constitutes "good cause" in criminal law, but immigration law is not criminal law and the threshold for good cause to make an arrest is much lower in immigration law than in general criminal law. The following behaviour may result in problems for visitors:
- Committing a criminal offence
- Overstaying a visa or permit
- Being combative or abusive towards immigration officials
- Inadvertently admitting to contravening the Immigration Act
- Working while on a visitor's or study permit, studying while on a visitor's or work permit, etc
Handy Tips
- Keep a copy of your passport and permit on you at all times.
- Decide beforehand who you would phone if arrested
Give that person:
- A copy of your passport and permit
- The contact details for your family back home
- The ability to access funds on your behalf, should it be necessary
Never, ever be aggressive or abusive towards immigration officials. No matter what.
What to do if you've been arrested?
As aforementioned, DO NOT BE AGGRESSIVE OR ABUSIVE. Being aggressive or abusive towards the officials will only result in a longer detention. Once arrested, the suspect will be taken to the nearest police station, charged and locked up. Many police stations keep Immigration Act offenders separate from general offenders.
Detainees are advised to keep the following in mind:
- Keep a copy of the passport and visa or permit elsewhere so that it can be given to the immigration attorney upon arrival
- Offenders may be detained for up to 30 calendar days without a warrant
- An attorney may be able to secure an immediate release, but this cannot be guaranteed
- If a court then does not confirm the detention within 48 hours, the detainee must be released
- If released, the detainee may be asked to prove why he or she shouldn't be deported
- The detainee may also be asked to post security for the costs of being deported

*** The last chapter has me a little bit worried, I don't want to risk the story being a "carbon copy" so if I ever come close to it please, please let me know. Not much else to say, so here we go with more. This part is almost doubled in size from the last one :) that's always a good thing right? *Disclaimer: I do not own any of these amazing charters or this wonderful story. ***
Part 2:
Piper and Noah
Piper pursed her lips and looked up at the book again for reference. School had finally started to push her, until then she has flown her way through assignments with ease. Now her classes had started to challenge her. She loved it. The feeling of working harder, of becoming better. She looked up again and suddenly small hands covered her eyes.
"Guess who?" A tiny, sweet voice asked behind her.
" Oh, um I don't know." Piper said a bit surprised. She hadn't seen the pair for almost a week.
"Remember me?" Julia asked.
"Of course I remember you." Piper said happy to see the girl again.
"Daddy! Look who I found." Julia called to Noah as he rounded the corner.
"Hey, it's Anna. Who draws rocks and little girls. What are you doing here?" He said smirked placed on his lips.
"Homework." She replied scrunching her nose a little at the amount before her.
"Me too, I have to do Math and Science before I'm allowed to do any art." Julia said a slight pout in her lips
"Yeah, some mean old ogre came up with that rule." Noah said sarcasm clear in his voice. " K Julia I'm going to go look up those articles." He said wanting to let her know where to find him if she needed anything.
"Okay, I'll be fine here with Anna." She said looking up at him with her big browns. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Anna nod in agreement to his daughter, but still a parent had to be careful. He did have a feeling that Anna was a good woman, and he trusted that feeling.
"I"ll be right back." He assured both woman.
Piper looked at Julia beside her and smiled. "If you need help I'm right here. " She said and was awarded with a smile and "Okay." The girls sat and worked in comfortable silence for a few minutes before Julia asked for help with her math. Piper smiled as she leaned closer to read the problem and help.
"Your good at helping kids, do you have any?" Julia asked innocently.
Piper's pained expression passed her face quickly, "I have four younger brothers." She answer carefully avoiding the question but still being honest, as honest as she could.
"Oh okay. I wish I had brothers and sisters." Julia said moving on to the next problem in her work book. She quickly finished her math and moved on science, her assignments were easy.
"Sometimes I think that my school is slower than other schools." Julia said her tone serious
"Why's that?" Piper asked
"I already know all this, I learned it last year." She explained an exasperated tone in her voice.
"Well maybe they are refreshing you, some kids could of forgotten." Piper said carefully. Julia gave her a funny look almost saying "Who would of forgot?"
Piper bit her lip looking for a way to better explain. She decided to use an example. "Some people don't have a very good memories take Tish for example she-" Piper started, but was cut off with, "Who's Tish?"
"Well, she's my co-worked, we work together. She forgets things all the time. Some people are just like that." Piper explained.
"Oh, that's OK I guess. Where do you work?" Julia asked pulling out another work book.
"A sandwich shop near the boardwalk." She replied.
"How much home work do you have?" She asked, staring at the three workbooks on the table.
Giggling Julia said. "I only have spelling left. Could me and my dad come see you at work?" She asked a full smile on her face.
The picture that Piper"s mind drew for her was a cute one. Them coming in and eating while she talked to them across the counter. It made piper smile knowing that Julia liked her enough to see her again. A second later the picture changed as Jen called her by her real name and not "Anna" as Julia and Noah knew her. The picture in her mind was suddenly gone, and her smile strained. "Um, well I only work part time so I don't know." She said being as honest as possible with the girl.
Julia's face fell slightly. "okay." She replied returning to her homework. Piper watched her for a few moments longer before returning to her own home work.
She didn't want to keep lying to Julia and Noah. She was going to get caught up in the lie. The mother part of her wanted to lie more and be closer to Julia. The logical part of her wanted to put as much distance between herself and Julia as possible.
"Will you check my spelling so I can draw?" came the little voice next to her.
Piper looked down and opened her mouth to tell the girl everything. "Of course." Came out instead. The small voice in the back of her mind whispered, "Coward."
"You did a good job, but you missed this one." Piper said pointing out the misspelled word. Julia quick scribbles out the word, reread the question and added the right word.
"Great job!" Piper praised her.
"Now I can draw with you!" Julia exclaimed all but bouncing in her seat. She pulled out her own art pad and began drawing a bunny. The little girl really did love art.
That's how Noah found them when he came back. It was a cute moment between the two girls. He corrected himself one girl, one woman. There was nothing girlish about Anna.
Julia had asked him earlier in the week if they could go to the beach to see if Anna was there. While not wanting to feed her ever growing imagination he did not want to discourage her either. A rock and a hard place.
"Here let me show you something." Piper's voice reached him as he walked slowly towards them. "See the ears, add some shadows there." she said kindness and instruction in her voice.
"Cool." Came Julia's reply.
"That doesn't look like math to me." He said approaching them, he had only been gone for about twenty minutes.
"Done." Julia announced pride in her voice.
"Spelling?" He asked knowing she usually forgot it.
"Done." Came her reply again.
"Well I have to check it." He said not wanting her to win.
"Done." Piper said sheepishly.
Before he could open his mouth to say anything Julia piped up with, "Dad, did you know Anna has four little brothers, she knows all about kids."
"Is that right?" he asked guessing at to what she had started hinting at.
"Yup and she works at a sandwich shop, but not full time." She said continuing.
"Hmm, oh yeah." He said playing dumb.
"Dad!" She whined trying to get her point across to her father.
Piper had watched the two of them in silence, amused at how they acted toward one another."Am I missing something?" She asked curiously.
Noah nodded, amused smirk in place. "Julia's been asking me for private art lessons, for some time now. And I believe she thinks she has found her tutor." He said as way of explaining.
"Well," Piper began.
"You can pick me up at school, so I won't have to walk home with Bradley." Julia stated sounding as if it was the worst thing in the world.
Smiling Piper asked "Who?"
Again Noah began explaining. "Two times a week I teach an adult education class, and poor Julia has to walk home with Bradley." Piper made an "O" face and he continued " Then she's forced to star with him for forty-five whole minutes until I get there." He said in mock horror making Piper laugh.
"Ah." He scoffed.
"You are a terrible father." She teased.
"Well I've got to give her something to tell the therapist in ten years." He Admitted jokingly. Liking the way Piper threw a joke back at him.
Piper stared at him a moment longer. His smile was warm and kind. When he teased his daughter there was a set to his lips that was addicting to stare at.
"Bradley picks his nose in class and makes fart noses in his arm pits." Julia added clearly discussed with the boy.
"Testosterone poison, he cant help it." Noah said defending the boy. Piper laughed again.
"Anna, please." Julia said intertwine her fingers and looking at piper with big brown puppy dog eyes. "Save me please."
Noah almost felt sorry for the woman. His baby was a force of nature, and no one could ever resist those eyes. He could see Anna caving, her eyes widening slightly her smile faltering a little. She had a pretty smile. The thought passed quickly before he could stop it.
She looked at him almost asking his permission, all he could do was shrug.
"Okay." She said. Suddenly she was bombarded with a huge thank you hug.
"Do you have a pen?" Noah asked. Fishing a sticky note out of his bag. She handed him her pen, Scribbling their address and number on the paper he gave both objects to her. "My classes are on Wednesdays and Fridays, if you need help finding the school or house don't hesitate to call. Julia gets out of school at three, obviously she want you to meet her there. Ah, Any question?" He asked.
"None that I can think of, I'll call if I do." She assured him, taking the paper from him and looking at the address she knew by heart. "I pass High on my way to work, it shouldn't be too hard to find, Maybe I'll stop by later to be sure, and that way I can get better directions to her school." She stated making it sound like a question.
"Of course." Noah replied "Later today then?"
"Sure." She said smiling.
"Okay then later. Ready to go?" He asked Julia.
"Yup!"Julia answered. Pulling on her backpack then looking up at Piper smiling. "Thank you." She said completely happy and sincere
"Your very welcome." Piper said smiling back. Noah gave her a grin and held up his hand in farewell.
After they left she returned to her homework. How was she going to pull this off? Secretly she wanted to spend more time with Julia and deep down she really enjoyed Noah's sense of humor. He was hilarious, with his little remarks and changing the tone of his voice. She couldn't help but smile and enjoy the laughter that erupted from her lips. She was sinking deeper and deeper into the lie with a smile on her face.
"Well that went very well miss Julia. You were quite the little actress in there." Noah said walking toward the parking lot.
"I wasn't acting Dad." Julia said her tone exasperated. "Besides, I like Anna, she's really nice and pretty and she can draw really good! So much better than me, I wish I could draw like her."
"Someday you will." He said the stopped and stood staring at her. "You think she's pretty? I thought I was pretty? He said sounding hurt and playing his favorite joke.
"Dad, your not pretty, your handsome." She reminded him but smiled in spite of herself.
"Oh bless you little one, you do wonders for my ego." He said laughing. "What would I ever do without you?" He asked sarcasm in his voice. It was their joke and he enjoyed it every time.
"Don't you think she's pretty dad?" Julia asked all joking gone.
"Well I -" He began then stopped. Anna was a pretty woman. Her skin light and freckled. Her smile was real and genuine unlike so many others. It was her eyes that capture and held his attention. Her eyes held all her emotions, the humor, her sadness. Her eyes held him every time. Aware that Julia was waiting for an answer he said simply. "Yes, she's pretty."
She smiled at him as they crossed the street and got in the car to go home.
Piper's shift was coming to a close and it was only seven. She still had plenty of time to stop by Noah's and Julia. Jen had asked her earlier why she was so distracted today and she told her the truth.
"Don't you feel bad for lying?" She had asked.
"Of course I do. I don't want to keep lying to them. I really want to come clean and tell them both everything. What if I do and she gets hurt? What if she doesn't want anything to do with me? And Noah is very protective of her, what if he does something drastic?" Piper said voicing her inner terminal. She had confided in Jen and Priestly overheard. Naturally he had to add his two cents of thought in.
" Well Piper this is all very Robbin Williams of you, all you need is to dress up." He piped up from behind her.
"Your not helping." Jen told him.
"Yeah I am that story has a happy ending." He said defensively.
That gave her a small amount of hope as she walked out the door, calling her goodbyes over her shoulder. She took the streets carefully and stopped out front of their house. She sat on her bike for the longest moment, unaware that Noah and Julia had walked up behind her.
"It's Not much but I love it." Noah said scaring the shit out of Piper. Grinning he said, "Sorry." Not sound as apologetic as he should have.
"It"s ok." She said hand on her heart.
He walked passed her and up to the porch sitting down. Julia garbed her hand and tugged her along with her up to the house. The three of them sat together talking for almost half an hour. Noah got to know more about Piper, and Piper got the directions she needed. And the where abouts of the house. Julia did most of the talking needing little prompting from either adults. Too soon it was time for Piper to leave and Julia's bed time. Waving goodbyes Piper found herself not wanting to go back to the house she shared with four for her classmates. She really was excited for the next day. Her first time teaching an Art lesson.
*** So that was part two, now I've only differed from the movie a few times. I'm hoping to wrap up the movie with in the next two parts and then continue in my own words. :) I hope everyone is enjoying it so far, it's been so fun to write! Anyways keep the reviews coming I love to read them!***

Noguez, who has been on a leave of absence since the summer, was at the center of a wide-ranging corruption probe, detailed in the Weekly's April 19 cover story, "Let's Make a Deal."
A grand jury has been investigating allegations that Noguez directed his staff to lower property values in an effort to obtain campaign donations. The probe was triggered by allegations from a former employee, and friend, of Noguez's, Scott Schenter.
Per the story:
Schenter's allegations set off a firestorm that has both the media and the district attorney's investigators circling the assessor's office. Some have speculated that Schenter was angling for kickbacks. But L.A. Weekly's investigation indicates that his true motivation was likely politics. According to a source familiar with Schenter's account, he slashed [property tax] roll values by more than $100 million in hopes that the beneficiaries would contribute to Noguez's campaign for assessor. Noguez directed him to do it, Schenter has alleged, and he went along with it because he wanted a promotion.
Records show that some beneficiaries of Schenter's actions did, in fact, donate to Noguez's campaign. And the Weekly has learned that the chief beneficiary of Schenter's reductions, a tax agent named Ramin Salari, helped Noguez get his start in politics with a $15,000 donation.
Over his long career in the assessor's office, Noguez received political contributions from many property owners whose buildings he personally appraised. And politics continued to play a significant role in the office after Noguez was sworn into the top job. Appraisers complained about the access given to tax agents, including Salari.
In fact, Salari continued to get his way. In one memo, a Noguez deputy explained why: Salari was a "known donor."
More from the story:
In the fall of 2010, as the campaign chest dwindled, Noguez called Schenter twice and told him to take care of two tax agents, according to the source. The idea was that if the agents received tax breaks, they might return the generosity with a campaign check, and encourage their clients to do likewise.
One of those agents was Ramin Salari, who handed Schenter a list of parcels he wanted reduced. Schenter accommodated him, as well as three other tax agents. According to a Weekly analysis, those four agents account for the bulk of the more than 150 parcels Schenter lowered.
We'll have more on this story as it develops.

- Not much to write home about Review by NinaP
The product was a bit small and very plastic. I was looking for something that was a little bit more substantial for carnival giveaways.
(Posted on 5/14/12)
- Very poor quality control Review by dockjr
The compasses were useful, but not all were put together correctly, and of the two packages, 10 of the compasses had to be taken apart to fix quality issues (backing paper incorrectly glued, needles stuck, other problems of not working). This could have been taken care of before shipment, either to you or to us...
(Posted on 5/31/11)
- Wrong Direction Review by SKG
If something that looks like a compass is needed, this is it, however....
The needles do not turn freely-- even when near a magnet, in fact many of the needles were knocked off their bearings upon arrival.

How Assessment Can Lead to Deeper Learning
Most educators, policymakers, and parents agree that today's students need a mix of knowledge, skills, and dispositions to prepare them to be successful and engaged citizens. Given that students need a mix of these things, educators, policymakers, and parents are also asking, "How do we know if students are learning both what we are teaching and what they need to know to succeed?"
One key to addressing both of those issues that we understand at our Envision schools is the understanding that they are inextricably linked. While in some circles, assessment is a top-down process done by teachers who decide where students are on the continuum of learning, we engage students directly in assessing their own progress. This is part of our Know, Do, Reflect approach to learning. Here's an illustration of that process:
The reflection step in this on-going learning cycle is an essential element where assessment happens. Reflection invites students and teachers to recognize growth and accomplishments as well as identify opportunities for improvement and development. It is not separate from the learning process: It is an integral step on the path to deeper learning -- it's assessment as learning.
Having students play an active role in this step is distinctive for two reasons:
1. The assessment process itself helps students develop critical thinking and analysis skills.
Students who assess themselves are learning and improving their cognitive skills while assessment is happening. For example, in our classrooms, students are often asked to reflect on what they know before, during, and after a particular lesson, inviting them not only to chart a course for the progress they want to make but also to understand what they already bring to the classroom. Before the lesson even begins, they are exercising muscles that develop an academic mindset, which prepares them to understand not only what they are learning but how they are learning it. Those skills will enhance their ability to learn, adapt, and grow in future classrooms as well as in career and life settings.
2. The process also helps students internalize knowledge, turning what and how they learn into a well of resources they can use in the future.
When students assess their own work, when they identify their own strengths and weaknesses, the likelihood that they will do better next time is greater. This is true, of course, for everyone, not just students. When our goals come from inside, rather than being imposed from an external source, we are more likely to own them and work harder to achieve them.
One of our graduates describes Deeper Learning this way:
"Deeper learning is when a student learns something beyond the content, when they are able to apply their experiences, or knowledge gained in other classes, to what they are doing. It means internalizing information."
Self-assessment leads to that "beyond the content" piece, and gives students the powerful awareness of where they are and where they want to go.
Envision students have multiple opportunities to engage in this kind of learning. In both tenth grade and then again as seniors, they are asked to assemble a portfolio of their best work, which they must "defend," dissertation-style, to an audience of educators, peers, and community members. They give similar presentations throughout their high school years, reflecting on each experience to improve the next one.
As students revise their portfolios, incorporating feedback from teachers and peers, they hone not only critical thinking and analysis skills, but also communication skills. As seniors, they must pass the "College Success Portfolio" defense in order to graduate, and many of them go through multiple revisions and attempts before successfully passing.
As another graduate describes it:
"Being put in a position to articulate a concept to an audience takes greater comprehension than just learning the idea for yourself. By talking about the project, I deepened my own knowledge of the math we were learning."
Talking about their own learning -- articulating it, reflecting on it, internalizing it -- engages students in the kind of assessment that continually reinforces skills, deepens knowledge, and prepares them for the future.

Hi Bob,
Your blogs are great. I enjoy reading them. What a difference Envision Schools are making for so many. Wonderful impact results.
I was excited to read about the Know-Do-Reflect approach (as well as students building a resource kit over the years).
I wonder if you encourage "learning buddies" and Study Groups ?
I am a retired teacher (30yrs experience) and over the past 15 yrs I developed an approach similar to yours. I had my own classroom in Brisbane, Australia - but now we live in the country (hobbyfarm). I feel I have so much to offer from my materials and experience that I have just started a blog for learners.
You guys are doing such a great job that I hesitate to make comments but if you permit ..
Part of my approach - apart from teaching learning skill sets - was to help a student find their way and to make some sense of it all. In particular I lead them through 5 areas of reflection .
(Seeing the fuller picture of the world, society, place and purpose, self and others really does open the student mind. Their drive increases !)
1. A Sense of Perspective; [Outer Limits] Looking at where we fit in on the grand scale of things - size, distance, time and our place. We are just a life-form on our tiny planet. Mysterious, wonderful but insignificant in the big picture.
2. A Sense of Place: [Nothing really changes] A Thought Experiment. Human activity over time. Designed to increase awareness of society, patterns of living and rituals - from generation to generation.
3. Meaning and Purpose: [The Big Questions.] Where do I fit in ? What role will I play ? What is important ? Do I matter ? Does the world need me ? Is there a future for me ?
4. Self and Others: [Getting along] Self, personalities and relationships.
5. Inner Self: [Inner Mind] Self-examination. Partiality, biases, temptations, distractions - barriers to learning.
The approach did help those who were just drifting along without any real sense of direction and wondering if there was a future (of course there is, and the world is waiting for you - your needed particularly in our age of rapidly advancing science and technology).
Thanks for you patience Bob. Great work !

[quote]Bob, we've had a great question come up in our Twitter community. @elle_lash wrote:
"Self awareness in learning is difficult even on the college level. I'm interested 2 know it's success and how measured."
What do you think? What's been your experience at Envision?[/quote]
We create the culture and structures to promote self awareness. Students learn to be reflective because we require it during the learning process, at the conclusion, individually and in groups. All major performance tasks and projects are accompanied by a reflective summary. These are assessed using a rubric. Finally, the defense process is one huge metacognitive exercise - there is a domain in the rubric for metacognition that is assessed. College students will be great reflectors if they are asked to do it in a structured and supportive method. I have seen 3rd graders do it very well.
Mike, thanks for sharing your work! It is inspiring. Bob
I would have to agree that assessment does lead to a deeper understanding. You need to know as a teacher what to teach and then what to do and then how to reflect on the assessment. I would say as a literacy teacher I think that the assessments that classroom teachers give would give a better picture as to what gaps the students are lacking and how I can better help serve them. It is true that the assessment process does help the students build critical skills when it comes to thinking. Students need to know how to critically think and what they need to know and what they don't need to know. It is also true that the assessment process will allow students to store things that they will then be able to use in the future, known as background knowledge.
Thanks Kaitlin. At Envision, we build teaching literacy into all performance assessments and projects. Teaching students to read, write and think well is a huge priority for us.
You have finally given words to something that I have been knowing, but not having the vocabulary to communicate...that "the assessment process itself helps students develop critical thinking and analysis skills."
As a principal, I often discuss with teachers the importance of not just having learning objectives that are made clear to students, but allowing them time for student reflection as well. It is evident that doing so helps them to "buy in" to the lessons, but more than that, the very act of doing so helps develop the critical thinking skills that we want them to attain. Students can not develop these skills without a venue through which they can practice them. Done correctly, reflection can provide such an opportunity multiple times per day! As they become more adept at thinking critically, they will begin to push themselves to greater heights and further enrich their learning.
Thank you for giving voice to my thoughts!

I believe Formative Assessment as an element of Common Core instruction can be applied in a way that incorporates and extends self assessment as you describe. A number of researchers have underscored the importance of formative assessment as a distinction between assessment for learning, where design and use centers on promoting student learning, and assessment of learning, where the design and use serve the purposes of accountability, such as ranking and certification.
However, it is the assessment OF learning that can take on the important aspect of being a "Dynamic" aspect of learning. Our group has been promoting the use of handheld whiteboards that incorporate interchangeable graphic organizers or templates for this reason. Their use becomes what we refer to as "Dynamic Formative Assessment" where the feedback is used to immediately impact learning, not accountability. The other factor is how well the teacher can use the information and make decisions and modifications to the immediate instruction as well as longer term planning. Teachers can also readily determine how well prepared students are for other accountability assessment.
I would also add that kids have FUN using handheld whiteboards in this way. Besides providing Dynamic Formative Assessment, handheld whiteboards that incorporate graphic organizers can be linked to digital materials through QR codes to help insure kids are accessing vetted supporting resources. There is an important opportunity for the use of digital and non-digital tools in the classroom that can be lost in all of the technology push. This method of teaching reinforces self assessment in a very transparent way.
