How Fathers Influence Academic Achievement

"The analysis, based on a computational model, focuses on inhibitory neurons the brain’s traffic cops that help ensure proper neurological responses to incoming stimuli by suppressing other neurons and working to balance excitatory neurons, which aim to stimulate neuronal activity." #E1T1 #AdmiredMan #FreeSATPrepWorkshop #AlWootenJrHeritageCenter #iHeartWatts #iHeartCompton #BestStartWattsWillowbrook #First5LA #LeadershipAndChange #DeterminationNotDespair #WattsGangTaskForce #SPMGMEDIA

"Doctors, lawyers, teachers, farmers, whatever. The future of all these professions will be full of computational thinking. Whether it’s sensor-based medicine, computational contracts, education analytics or computational agriculturesuccess is going to rely on being able to do computational thinking well.#E1T1

"Quality in infant and toddler settings includes various features such as low child to staff ratios, small group size, and specialized teacher education and training."

"Parents and students testified to the impact and unfairness of being denied funding from Measure G, which was passed by Oakland voters in 2008 to help all public schools. Charter students, unfortunately, have been excluded. Funding from Measure G, which amounts to around $20 million this year, would provide much-need support to charter students by helping their schools increase teacher salaries, purchase textbooks, keeping class sizes small and prepare students for college." #E1T1

"Maybe you guessed it, but we just released a Spanish adaptation of The Importance of an Involved Father brochure. The English version was so popular, we knew we needed to provide it for Spanish speaking dads, too!" #AdmiredMan #E1T1

Is the Man gonna run out on the Family? A very interesting study. "Analyzing data from the same sample of 800 unmarried Texas moms that pointed to the importance of dad's presence at birth, researchers found that 27% of unmarried dads were completely uninvolved in their child's life a mere three months after their child's birth. (For details on how the researchers defined and measured involvement, read the research brief.) The good news, of course, is that nearly three quarters of the unmarried dads were involved." #E1T1
