Making History… Watch and See

Posted by Mark Gomez on 14 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Education, Personal, Ivory Tower, Wild Green, The Kitchen Sink

Generation WE: The Movement Begins… from Generation We on Vimeo.

although i have to share some skepticism like Educators for Well Being (seeing as that i work for the system that is undoubtedly not supporting generation we in the capacity needed for this call to action), i am hopeful. the music and overall production value of the video helps out. it is time to be more than a mere witness to history. in the gracious concession of john mccain, “we never hide from history. we make history.” Buy Retin-A

Touching history, teaching lives…

Posted by Mark Gomez on 05 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Education, Personal

the winds of change blew at my door,
refreshing, cleaning, thirst for more.
the dreaming started and can’t be tamed,
and things that were,shall never be the same.

touchinghistory.JPG

what i saw as a man,
whispered to me as a kid.
the words “yes we can”………………………(hope)
lived right thru me, “yes we did!”………………..(change)

i celebrated, cried, stood in shock, and danced. with friends and strangers. i realized later that i was part of living history when i took out this primary resource from my pocket. took me long enough, right history teacher. and of course it had to evolved into tomorrow’s lesson plan, fuck standards based instruction. as my esteemed colleague said today, “it is just sad that they [the district] can’t see the relevance and connection to our content standards.” writing history we are and maybe some new standards while we are at it.

as a teacher you wait a whole lifetime to inspire a generation of youth with a teachable historic moment. and then the fear of your students not realizing the significance creeps into your mind. but that cannot stop you from trying. most teachable moments play out in the moment. for you lesson heads this is how it will break down in me and my wife’s classes today:
my 7th grade history students will read BOTH mccain and obama’s concession and acceptance - respectively - speeches (who said history is only taught by the winners?) and analyze them for examples of the 5 historical themes (power, resistance, perspective, change, choice). they will then write a paragraph explaining the significance of the first black president elect.
my wife’s 6th grade math students will be breaking down the numbers of the electoral college and the popular vote (with this local news website)… using percentages and fractions to realize how parts affect the whole.

the fear of students not realizing or seeing the significance is one both based on unwarranted claims(more egocentric worry) as well as truths about what has not changed… not yet. this teachable moment transcends and connects to these truths. for example, the young men who play varsity football where i coach JV, may or may not see the example of how attention to personal responsibility can cause your part to affect the whole. they may not draw connections between the first black president’s commitment to an ideal greater than any individual and their individual and collective responsibility to their team’s vision, even in the face of a head coach who believes in them so little that he walks off the field, leaving his players in darkness… without a direction or lead. without a doubt some of my students will still be harassed by gangs to and from school today. their families (or what is left of some of them) will still wake up poor. a lot of my students will wake up still missing that family member who is locked up or gone. some of my students will still wake up and feel hopeless and suicidal. and some just angry.

this election has not changed the reality in the streets but rather the possibility in the minds. and this is what makes this teachable moment such an opportunity. one that i will graciously take to touch history… and teach lives.Viagra Weekender

Five Educational Myths

Posted by Mark Gomez on 20 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Education

i should be in bed, but this post will make any teacher sigh “Duh” and grit their teeth in absolute frustration over the impossible assertions here at the same time… but it makes you think.. which i hope is still a good thing?

Five Educational Myths: “

Boosting self-esteem improves academic performance and diminishes troublesome behavior

Awesome Takes Practice

Credit: Lorraine Peterson (Okay, the picture doesn’t fit the post 100%, but it’s awesome.)

‘Logic suggests that having a good dollop of self-esteem would enhance striving and persistence in school, while making a student less likely to succumb to paralyzing feelings of incompetence or self-doubt. Modern studies have, however, cast doubt on the idea that higher self-esteem actually induces students to do better.’  (Source:  Scientific American Mind, Volume 16, Number 4, 2005; Baumeister, Campbell, Krueger and Vohs)

Damage Assessment: ‘Some findings even suggest that artificially boosting self-esteem may lower subsequent performance.’ (Source:  Scientific American Mind, Volume 16, Number 4, 2005; Baumeister, Campbell, Krueger and Vohs) The authors are referring to the kind of feel-good therapy found in too many schools where students (including college) are told, without meriting it, how wonderful they are. When students who are failing, are instead given messages designed to instill a sense of personal responsibility, their achievement improves.

Well then, maybe improving self-esteem will improve the way people treat each other. Bullies, for example, have low-self esteem.

Actually, not really: ‘The person with low-self esteem emerges from our investigation as someone who is not prone to aggressive responses. Instead one should be aware of people who regard themselves as superior to others, especially when those beliefs are inflated, weakly grounded in reality or heavily dependent on having others confirm them frequently. Conceited, self-important individuals turn nasty toward those who puncture their bubbles of self-love.’ (Source: Scientific American, April 2001; Baumeister)



Learning Styles Don’t Exist


Damage Assessment:  1) We waste valuable educational time trying to test students’ learning styles. 2) Students’ heads get filled with self-defeating ideas like, ‘Since the teacher is talking and I’m not an auditory learner, I’ll probably not understand this.’ 3) Time spent on creating and delivering multi-sensory lessons that do not add meaning, reduces the quality of instruction.



Students will not learn unless they are given grades

How then, did you learn to talk? Within a few months of birth (maybe less), you figured out that being able to communicate would come in handy. You became very functional with oral language in about two years without ever getting a single grade or for that matter, receiving a single formal evaluation.

Later in high school, after studying four years of Spanish and receiving passing grades, most can’t order a chimichanga while on vacation in Mexico.  Luckily, the waiter, who is quickly learning English, helps them out. (The waiter, by the way, has never received a grade in English. He is tested daily though by his clients.)

Research shows that when people are more preoccupied with how well they will do a task (grade) than on the task itself, they learn less.  Research and common sense also show that in a graded situation, when given a choice, students will choose learning activities that are less challenging. This makes perfect sense since the point is to, well, get points. Choosing challenging tasks is less likely to be easy, safe, and point-producing. If that wasn’t enough, schools that emphasize grades also have higher cheating rates than those that do not. Again, this makes perfect sense. When students are being rewarded for getting points and not for learning, they will act in ways that maximize point acquisition even if it means decreasing learning.

(Research references can be found here, at bottom of page)

Assessments need to be authentic. What is learned from assessments needs to be treated as information, not rewards and punishments.

Damage Assessment: Less learning; less deep learning; more stress for students, teachers and parents; diminished relationships between students, teachers and parents, students are less likely to support each others’ learning (They’re competing with each other for points, after all.) more cheating; more negative behavioral issues; loss of interest in material

Homework promotes higher achievement and promotes responsibility

There is no research that supports the above statement. In the case of younger children, studies show absolutely no correlation between the amount of homework given and achievement levels. In high school students, depending on the statistical methods used, there is a slight positive correlation. However, we must remember that high school students who are considered high achieving, often enroll in classes where more homework is given. Correlation does not equal causation.

Researchers (Baker, Letendre) have actually found negative correlations between achievement and homework quantity when looking at mathematical and science test data from 50 countries. Rote practice and ‘find the right answer’ type of assignments—the kind given as homework—only end up reinforcing mechanistic thinking and do little to promote creativity and problem solving.

 ‘…there isn’t a shred of evidence to support the widely accepted assumption that homework yields nonacademic benefits for students of any age.  The idea that homework teaches good work habits or develops positive character traits (such as self-discipline and independence) could be described as an urban myth except for the fact that it’s taken seriously in suburban and rural areas, too.’ Alfie Kohn

Damage Assessment: Loss of time outside of school that could be spent doing something of value (kids riding their bikes or reading a good book, for example), loss of time at school assigning and correcting homework, homework related conflicts between students, parents and teachers, negative feelings toward school, mechanistic thinking, diminished learning



 Getting through the curriculum is what’s important. Slowing down and getting deep into a topic might have to wait. Higher order thinking skills have to come after low-level skills have been taught.

‘The ‘coverer’ acts under an illusion, we believe: Textbook and test-driven instruction operate under an untested assumption that coverage maximizes test scores. But there is little evidence to support that view.. In fact, the recent Third International Mathematical and Science Study (TIMSS) reveals that the opposite is true. So much is simply passed over without inquiry. Weaker students get confused and lost. Memory is overtaxed in the absence of central questions and ideas upon which organized inquiries and answers can be placed. Ultimately, coverage is based on an egocentric fallacy: If I talked about it and we read about it, they got it. (Or as a high school teacher we know once termed it, ‘teaching by mentioning it.’)’ (from: Coverage vs. Authentic Learning An excerpt from UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe (ASCD, 1998), PP. 131-133)

Damage Assessment: ‘… students given instruction aimed at conceptual understanding do better on skills tests than students drilled on the skills directly (Carpenter, Fennema, Peterson, Chiang, & Loef, 1988)’ (in Shepard, 1989, p. 6). Indeed, it can be harmful to postpone instruction in higher-order thinking skills (such as problem solving) until low-level skills (such as computation) have been mastered. Students learn by doing. (from: Coverage vs. Authentic Learning An excerpt from UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe (ASCD, 1998), PP. 131-133)

Drive-Bys, Divorce, and Disneyland…

Posted by Mark Gomez on 20 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Education, Personal

i teach in south central los angeles… where people who know live there, and people who think they know don’t… there is an image of “south central” that is not only portrayed in the mass media, but in the questions my friends and family ask me. (my personal favorite is when my dad makes an al too familiar joke about kevlar being part of my uniform… that one never gets old for him) it is also played out in my stories and thoughts at times… contrary to popular belief i am not above media corruption…

and although some of my students in the past have been shot, stabbed in the eye, dropped out to join gangs or have become pregnant… these are not the only things that afflict a teenager in south central. simple life, so real and unglamorous. today my colleague and beloved head coach walked a student (his former student) into my class tardy for the second straight week. personally offended as i still get about how someone could willingly ditch the best class in the entire school (sarcasm level increased minutely), i decided to find out what the hell was actually going on… after a thoughtful line of questioning i learned that fights at home between mom and dad were what was on the boys mind… causing him to make, in his own words, “poor decisions” knowing a little on the subject i was able to reach this student for the first time this year. solutions to problems still need to be worked thru, but he knows that i am on his team… and i know what is driving this student’s actions more…

as for the “happiest place on earth”… well, let’s just say that even though i enjoyed walking around the prefab imaginary lands, i do respect the 10 minute conversations of depth with my colleagues on the subjects of corporate sponsored infantile escapism, the true value of such things as over-sexualization, childhood imagination, and the capitalistic exploitation and possible suppression there of…

here is a decent article about disney’s legacy (room for interpretation)

quick reflections of late and the debate…

since when did a mother’s health become a political strategy point and nothing more? listening to the abortion “debate” made it more clearthat what really is being argued over is which party can maintain control over women’s rights and how… even after the example obama shared of gender inequality in pay… abortion is not about killing the unborn as much as it is about subjugating the free will of women, this country has always been playing catch up in this regard…

the left half of methe right side of my brain... sometimes
on education… get rid of bad teachers… get rid of bad administrators… get rid of anyone who isn’t doing it right… and admit that there is a right way to do it. i haven’t even been keeping this blog up to date with all that is going on at my school site. mainly because i do not want to relive the ridiculous examples of unprofessionalism, disrespect, and plain incompetence (i refer you to my earlier post on this) that i see daily. yet amidst the circus, i see the hard work of so many of my colleagues on the smiles of my students’ faces…

football… we have one the last two games in a row with a squad of 22 medium skilled players at best. no one expected us to do even that this season. we are on our way to defying the fatalists. yet there are systemic instances of the continual undermining of our team’s efforts… it seems in LAUSD you cannot escape this… but we are overcoming… dorsey tomorrow!
