Wow. I was so surprised by reading through this powerpoint. I was always under the assumption that Iowa, along with Minnesota, were among the best states for all areas education. This showed me otherwise, that we need to work on some things! I really like that the powerpoint presented the impact and opportunity of each fact that was revealed about Iowa's achievement. This presentation gives many ideas for how we can improve Iowa's educational world.
I agree that ways we can implement better learning is by having reasonable expectations for all students no matter race, gender, socioeconomic status, or native language. I think this is especially important as the gap between disability and non-disability students was so wide. I am glad to see that a majority of the students are at basic levels for reading and math, but I think we need to get more students at the proficient level. I think that if we raise our expectations, work to be effective instructors, teach a variety of subjects while implementing diversity, and importantly create a lasting love of learning, we will be on our way to success.
