ILEARN scores rising in math for Indiana students, flat in English/language arts
Six Lake County and five Porter County school districts topped the state's ILEARN combined math and English/language arts 31.2% pass rate in results announced Wednesday. Schools administered the Indiana Learning Evaluation and Assessment Readiness Network (ILEARN) in the spring. and statewide scores showed improvement in math, while English/language arts remained flat, officials said. 'While we continue to see students growing in math proficiency, this year's results remind us all of the need to continue our focus in both early and adolescent literacy,' said Gov. Mike Braun in a state release from the Department of Education. Statewide, 40.6% of Indiana's students are at or above proficiency standards in ELA, and 42.1% of students are at or above proficiency standards in math. It's up 0.1 and 5.2 percentage points, respectively, since 2021, ILEARN's baseline year with lowered scores blamed on the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2021, math pass rates have increased for all student populations. Still battling an achievement gap, Wednesday's report showed Black students had year-over-year increases in both ELA and math (0.9 and 2 percentage points, respectively) and had the highest percentage point increase of all students in ELA. Also, Black and Hispanic students had the highest year-over-year percentage point increases of all students in math (2 percentage points). Indiana students will take a redesigned ILEARN exam next year spaced over different periods in the school year. It was piloted in more than 1,000 schools last year. The redesigned exam will feature three 'checkpoints' and a shortened summative assessment at the end of the school year. Officials said the checkpoints will provide improved real-time student data to better support learning throughout the year, rather than waiting until the end of the year for results. 'While we are positively moving and improving in math, there is an urgent need to support middle school students in English/language arts,' said Secretary of Education Katie Jenner. Locally, students in the Duneland School Corp. in Chesterton fared the best with a combined pass rate of 53.6%, more than 20 points above the state pass rate. 'Our students, teachers and families continue to work together in the spirit of student achievement,' said Superintendent Chip Pettit. 'I'm excited to see their hard work paying off. We're also equally proud of the growth students are showing on a year-to-year basis.' Students in the School Town of Munster were close behind with a 53.3% pass rate. Nine Lake County districts improved their combined scores from last year, while three Porter County districts improved scores. Porter-based Discovery Charter School's 36.6% pass rate was the lone charter to eclipse the state pass rate. Four of the 10 local charters posted improved scores over last year. The private Diocese of Gary, with 20 schools, bested the state pass rate with a 40% mark. The state also released the 2025 SAT results, which represent the required high school assessment for federal accountability. Students take the SAT in 11th grade. The state passing score is the same as the national pass rate, per state law. Students who met the evidence-based reading and writing portion of the SAT improved 2.7% with 54.5% meeting the cut score of 480. In math, just 25.4% met the national cut score of 530.

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies Releases White Paper on Rural Schooling Characteristics
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has released a new white paper, 'The G.R.O.W. Generating Rural Opportunities in the Workforce™ Report and Probing the Unique Characteristics of Rural Schooling: A Narrative Inquiry,' by James Lane, Ed.D., senior research fellow with the University's Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR). In the paper, the author analyzes G.R.O.W. Generating Rural Opportunities in the Workforce™ report findings to contextual a narrative study of significant experiences and insights of current and retired educators who teach or have taught within small rural distant schools, in order to better understand characteristics that make these schools unique fabrics within the American educational tapestry. 'The narrative inquiry revealed shared characteristics in rural areas even though the participants were geographically disparate,' Lane shares. 'The findings may provide value to those leading rural schools as well as those who train and prepare rural educators, and who shape public policies impacting those communities.' Applying an analytical mode of narrative inquiry, Lane delves into experiences of rural educators and identifies similar characteristics including care, community and family, as well as limited college and career preparation, with contributors of geographic isolation and poverty. The author offers context for the narrative inquiry through related data findings from the G.R.O.W. report, which revealed distinctions between rural and urban workforce, their demographic makeup, and their career perspectives. Lane is a faculty member in the College of Doctoral Studies ACCESS program, facilitating doctoral courses and serving dissertation committees as panel validator, and has worked with University of Phoenix since 2006 in various roles. He served as a public school educator for 37 years as an English teacher, district language arts supervisor, and middle school assistant principal and principal. Lane earned his doctorate in Educational Leadership at University of South Florida, where he also completed a master's in Educational Leadership, a master of arts in English, and a bachelor's degree in English-Mass Communications Education. The full white paper is available on the University of Phoenix Career Institute® webpage or as a direct link here.

Israel didn't give permits to these Bedouin villages to build bomb shelters. So they built their own
BEERSHEBA, Israel (AP) — When the sirens wail in the southern Israeli desert to herald an incoming missile, Ahmad Abu Ganima's family scrambles outside. Down some dirt-hewn steps, one by one, they squeeze through the window of a minibus buried under 10 feet (three meters) of dirt. Abu Ganima, a mechanic, got the cast-off bus from his employer after it was stripped for parts. He buried it in his yard to create an ad-hoc bomb shelter for his family. Abu Ganima is part of Israel's 300,000-strong Bedouin community, a previously nomadic tribe that lives scattered across the arid Negev Desert. More than two thirds of the Bedouin have no access to shelters, says Huda Abu Obaid, executive director of Negev Coexistence Forum, which lobbies for Bedouin issues in southern Israel. As the threat of missiles became more dire during the 12-day war with Iran last month, many Bedouin families resorted to building DIY shelters out of available material: buried steel containers, buried trucks, repurposed construction debris. 'When there's a missile, you can see it coming from Gaza, Iran or Yemen,' says Amira Abu Queider, 55, a lawyer for the Sharia, or Islamic court system, pointing to the wide-open sky over Al-Zarnug, a village of squat, haphazardly built cement structures. 'We're not guilty, but we're the ones getting hurt.' Communities lack public services Al-Zarnug is not recognized by the Israeli government and does not receive services such as trash collection, electricity or water. Nearly all power comes from solar panels on rooftops, and the community cannot receive construction permits. Residents receive frequent demolition orders. Around 90,000 Bedouins live in 35 unrecognized villages in southern Israel. Even those Bedouin who live in areas 'recognized' by Israel have scant access to shelter. Rahat, the largest Bedouin city in southern Israel, has eight public shelters for 79,000 residents, while nearby Ofakim, a Jewish town, has 150 public shelters for 41,000 residents, Abu Obaid says. Sometimes, more than 50 people try to squeeze into the three square meters of a mobile bomb shelter or buried truck. Others crowded into cement culverts beneath train tracks, meant to channel storm runoff, hanging sheets to try to provide privacy. Shelters are so far away that sometimes families were forced to leave behind the elderly and people with mobility issues, residents say. On Oct. 7, 2023, 21 Bedouins were killed and six were taken hostage, according to local leaders. Seven Bedouin, including children, were killed by missiles during the Hamas barrage on the first day of the attack, Abu Obaid says. While no Bedouins were killed or injured during the 12-day war with Iran, during Iran's April 2024 attack on Israel , a Bedouin girl suffered a severe head injury from missile shrapnel, one of the only civilian injuries. More than 1,200 people were killed in Israel and 251 taken hostage during the attack. In Israel's ensuing war in Gaza, more than 57,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and militants. People want an escape plan Engineering standards for bomb shelters and protected rooms are exhaustive and specific, laying out thickness of walls and types of shockwave-proof windows that must be used. The Bedouins making their own shelters know that they don't offer much or any protection from a direct hit, but many people say it makes them feel good to go somewhere. Inside the minibus, Abu Ganeima says, the sound of the sirens are deadened, which is comforting to his children. 'Our bomb shelters are not safe,' says Najah Abo Smhan, a medical translator and single mother from Al-Zarnug. Her 9-year-old daughter, terrified, insisted they run to a neighbor's, where they had repurposed a massive, cast-off truck scale as the roof of a dug-out underground shelter, even though they knew it wouldn't be enough to protect them from a direct hit. 'We're just doing a lot of praying.' When sirens blared to warn of incoming missiles, 'scene filled with fear and panic' unfolded, says Miada Abukweder, 36, a leader from the village of Al-Zarnug, which is not recognized by Israel. 'Children screamed, and mothers feared more for their children than for themselves. They were thinking about their children while they were screaming, feeling stomach pain, scared, and crying out, 'We are going to die, where will we go?'' says Abukweder, part of a large clan of families in the area. The feeling of not having anywhere to go or hide, many say, is almost as terrifying as the missiles themselves. Some shelters were donated but aren't enough Immediately after the Oct. 7 attack, Israeli security services placed around 300 mobile bomb shelters in Bedouin areas, Abu Obaid says. Civil service organizations also donated a handful of mobile shelters. But these mobile bomb shelters are not built to withstand Iran's ballistic missiles, and are grossly inadequate to meet widespread need. Abu Obaid estimates thousands of mobile shelters are needed across the far-flung Bedouin communities. The Home Front Command, the Israeli military body responsible for civilian issues, says bomb shelters are the responsibility of local authorities and property owners. There are no local authorities responsible for unrecognized Bedouin villages. The Home Front Command says that due to the ongoing wars, it is assisting local communities, including the Bedouin, with dozens of temporary bomb shelters in coming months, though communities have received demolition orders, rather than shelters, in the past weeks. Israel's Arabs — roughly 20% of the country's 10 million people — are citizens with the right to vote but often suffer discrimination. Bedouins are Israeli citizens and some serve in the army, but they are the poorest members of the country's Arab minority. More than 70% live below the poverty line, Abu Obaid says. Abu Obaid says Bedouin residents aren't asking Israel to finance their bomb shelters; they are simply asking the state to give them construction permits so they can build homes with adequate shelters. Because of the lack of permits, many people are forced to risk of building illegally. But few are willing to build reinforced rooms or shelters because of the high cost of construction. 'People don't even want to try it,' Abu Obaid says. 'It's very expensive, and then two weeks later the state comes and says you have to destroy it.' Error!
