An Interview with Dr. Marilyn Jager Adams and Janie Feinberg - Applying early education research to middle and high school

By Delia Stafford
Columnist EducationNews.org
One of the challenges facing schools is how to apply research to the classroom effectively. Both of you Feinberg and Adams represent two sides of the same “education” coin—research and application. Over the past several years, there has been a good deal of attention given to the achievement gap in the early grades. More recently, we have seen attention given to student performance at the 8th grade level and in high school. How pervasive are the problems at the middle and high school levels?

Teacher Retention a Critical National Problem

Vicky Dill & Delia Stafford
Haberman Foundation
It is a commonly known that 50% of the new teachers leave the profession within the first five years of teaching. In addition, young people studying to be teachers rarely know if they will succeed as a teacher. There has been no effective way of predicting whether or not one individual will be successful in teaching and will remain a teacher for an entire lifetime.

Empirical Data at it

Delia Stafford & Vicky Dill
In January 2008, the Haberman Foundation staff traveled to Long Beach Unified School District to conduct the Haberman Star Teacher and Star Principal Selection training. The Haberman Staff of National Trainers has been in LBUSD since 2003, with multiple return visits, training principals to select teachers for their individual schools. This year was no exception. The class was full of new principals eager to learn more about Dr. Haberman’s research based interviews.

How can we help these children? Is it enough to begin providing extra support when low-SES children come to kindergarten and enter the public school system? No. Research conclusively supports the fact that even if children begin preschool at age 3 or 4 years, the proverbial horse may already be out of the barn.

Dr. G was there as a board member for the Fort Bend Independent School District's Thurgood Marshall High School Electronic Engineering Academy.

Recently I was invited to speak about the research of Dr. Martin Haberman, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, UWM, at the annual conference of JP Associates. While visiting the sessions I observed the conferees working together to improve their coaching skills.

Interviews with Edward L. "Ned" Davis - Fourth in a Series

President &CEO
Haberman Educational Foundation 
This is the fourth in a series of interviews with Edward L. "Ned" Davis, author of the acclaimed book on redesigning America's public education system, "Lessons For Tomorrow, Bringing America's Schools Back From The Brink." Davis was a recipient of the EdNews Upton Sinclair Awards, 2006 for being one of the ten most outstanding contributors and thought leaders in education. Many 'futurists' paint interesting, even inspiring pictures of where we are going in education. Davis does all of that, but most importantly, his vision is grounded in several major disciplines that are crucial to understanding the evolution of learning.
