Former Judge Defends New Wave of Attacks on Cultural Exchange Programs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

«Unlike the stories so often portrayed in the news about CI programs, my education was about building bridges with language and not as a political tool.» Douglas McDonald, retired administrative judge.

In a recent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

In a recent opinion piece, former Boston judge Douglas McDonald responded to arm-waving assertions that global educational exchange programs serve as nothing more than fronts for foreign powers political machinations- a narrative that often plays out in concerns raised about Confucius Institute programs. In the piece, McDonald speaks to the key role language played in his time teaching at Al-Hikma University in Baghdad shortly after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.

«For me, language is a key that opens the door to another culture and is a way to understand other people, to become aware of similarities, as well as differences,» said McDonald, who has been studying Chinese language at both the Confucius Institute at University of Massachusetts Boston and the Confucius Institute at Tufts University since 2018, before turning his attention towards this new climate of hostility towards global and cultural exchange programs as more and more Americans flirt with «America first» isolationism.

In an open letter to editors nationwide, the Confucius Institute U.S. Center opened up about the often one-sided discourse that surrounds Confucius Institute programs in the United States.

«We live in a time where innuendo is reported as fact, and the burden of proving one’s innocence often only serves to generate proof of one’s guilt. It’s a Catch-22,» said Erik Eging, a communications associate at the Center. «After a year-long investigation of CI programs, the Government Accountability Office did not find any evidence to substantiate these claims, but instead found locally controlled, autonomous programs committed to academic freedom, and American universities who controlled their Institute’s curriculum. Before parroting loaded or misinformed talking points, we hope more people would take the time to talk to students-such as Judge McDonald along with many others-who have actually participated in Confucius Institute programs.»

ParentSquare to Provide K-12 Educators With COVID-19 Health Screening Forms for Back to School

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ParentSquare Inc., provider of the premier unified school-to-home engagement platform for K-12, has launched a new health screening form feature, delivering schools an easy-to-use solution to enable student and staff daily health screenings.

With this new feature, parents, staff and high school students can electronically submit a health screening form indicating if they are exhibiting systems of COVID-19. They will immediately receive clearance to go to school or instructions to stay home, matching school or district policies. For school bus or on-campus health screening scenarios, teachers and staff can easily use ParentSquare to record results for students.

Because these health screening forms are managed through the ParentSquare platform, identifying information about the student or staff member is pre-populated from data the school already has, and the information remains secure and private.

Results from the health form are immediately available in ParentSquare’s dashboard for the student’s homeroom teacher, authorized staff or on-site health screeners — with clear indication of missing responses or if anyone is exhibiting symptoms.

The school or district can select a CDC-aligned health screening form in ParentSquare and then customize to meet any additional requirements they may have. The form is initially available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean.

The Health Screening form feature is available now, and included at no additional charge for all customers with ParentSquare’s existing Forms and Permission Slips component as part of their solution.

«Our goal is to make it easier for students and families to complete necessary health screenings, and easier for teachers and staff to process, manage and maintain easily accessible records and reports of these screenings,» said Sohit Wadhwa, CEO of ParentSquare.

«We hope this feature will prevent those exposed or with symptoms from visiting campus at all, helping to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in schools» said Anupama Vaid, ParentSquare Founder and President. «In addition to the obvious benefit of keeping potentially sick students and staff home before arriving at school, it also helps districts save time and money, by reducing paper printing, handling and processing involved with on-site health screenings.»

About ParentSquare
ParentSquare is relied upon by more than two million educators and families in over 44 states for unified, effective school communications. ParentSquare provides parent engagement tools that work from the district office to the individual classroom, supported by powerful metrics and reporting. ParentSquare’s technology platform features extensive integrations with student information and other critical administrative systems, translation to more than 100 languages, and app, email, text, voice and web portal access for equitable communication.

The trade product segment is expected to reach USD 20.0 billion by 2027
Asia Pacific is expected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period with a revenue-based CAGR of 7.1% from 2020 to 2027.

Several players operating in the market are focusing on strategic measures to reach a large number of consumers to boost revenue growth. For instance, in May 2020, Media Do Holdings announced that it is planning to enable blockchain e-books distribution. The company specializes in the distribution of digital products, like e-books, and upon seeing significant sales before and after the lockdown order, the company is looking to invest approximately USD 2.8 million for the blockchain e-books distribution project. The company added that the blockchain e-books distribution would be introduced first to My Anime List, which is considered the world’s biggest social community and database for anime and manga.

However, the low penetration of smartphones and similar devices in emerging countries can lead to low sales of online books, which is ultimately likely to impede market growth up to some extent over the forecast period.

By product type, the trade segment is projected to remain at the forefront in terms of share and growth rate over the forecast period. Many consumers are inclined towards reading fiction, non-fiction, and literature among others. Easy availability of such books online at minimum prices is foreseen to drive its demand in the coming years.

Asia Pacific is foreseen to expand at a maximum CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period. Growing usage of smartphones and similar devices, rising internet penetration, and growing consumers’ preference for online books over printed ones are likely to fuel market growth in the coming years. In addition, closure of non-essential business amidst pandemics, such as physical bookstores and schools, as an effort to curtail the spread of the virus has surged the demand for online books. For instance, in April 2020, during the lockdown period, the Media Do Holdings recorded a 20% year-on-year growth on the sales of digital books.

Soka Gakkai Calls for Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, Urges Ratification of UN Nuclear Ban Treaty on 75th Anniversary of Atomic Bombing

TOKYO, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — On August 6, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Soka Gakkai Buddhist organization put out a statement calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons and the early entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).

The Soka Gakkai pledges to exert all efforts for the complete…

The Soka Gakkai pledges to exert all efforts for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons and also urges the Japanese government to move toward participation in the TPNW, stating, «At this deeply significant juncture, the government of Japan, the only country to have suffered atomic bombings during war, should announce its readiness to consider participation in the TPNW, thus positively shaping the discourse on the elimination of nuclear weapons within the international community.»

In the statement, Yoshiki Tanigawa, chair of the Soka Gakkai Council on Peace Issues, states, «In recent years, there are signs that a nuclear arms race among the nuclear-weapon states is again intensifying. At the same time, the global spread of the novel coronavirus has demonstrated that military force is incapable of resolving global challenges, compelling us to confront the question of what constitutes authentic security for human beings.»

See full statement at https://www.sgi.org/in-focus/press-releases/75th-anniversary-hiroshima-and-nagasaki.html

On August 6 and 8 respectively, the Soka Gakkai in Hiroshima and Nagasaki will hold online meetings to listen to testimonies of hibakusha, the survivors of the atomic bombings. Over the past year, youth members in these areas have continued to collect testimonies of wartime experiences, including those of hibakusha, aiming to publish the latest volume this fall. The Soka Gakkai in Japan will also hold an online youth summit toward the renunciation of war in September.

At the global level, the SGI (Soka Gakkai International), with around 200 organizations of different faith backgrounds, including Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim and indigenous traditions, has signed a Joint Interfaith Statement on the 75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The statement affirms that «the presence of even one nuclear weapon violates the core principles of our different faith traditions and threatens the unimaginable destruction of everything we hold dear.» It lays out the environmental, health and economic consequences of a nuclear explosion and urges governments to ratify the TPNW. This is the twelfth such interfaith statement issued since 2014, supported by a growing number of faith groups.

Read the statement here: https://20561860-86b7-4801-a5d6-af3a3b4e6a59.filesusr.com/ugd/dca5da_26cbc5f57ae94e36a3394ff914d00893.pdf

The Soka Gakkai is a global Buddhist organization with 12 million members around the world that promotes peace, culture and education. The Soka Gakkai has worked toward the abolition of nuclear weapons for 60 years, since the Declaration Calling for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons issued by second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda on September 8, 1957.

NWEA Releases Guidance on Remote Testing to Help Schools Assess the Impact of COVID-19 Disruptions

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As millions of students get ready to return to school, school districts are preparing for a large number of them to be learning remotely. This presents a challenge for schools that need to triage the impact of COVID-19 disruptions on learning from this past spring with the cumulated impact of summer break. Teachers will need reliable, quality data on where students are academically to determine best paths forward to customize instruction and overcome…

After completing more than 400,000 remote test events this spring, NWEA released today a set of resources designed to guide schools as they prepare for the reality of remote testing, and help them administer the test and use data to guide instruction. While the resources are geared toward the 36,000 schools who use NWEA’s assessments – including MAP Growth and its innovative oral reading assessment for young readers, MAP Reading Fluency – the detailed resources are designed to help all schools planning to test remotely.

«One of the biggest and most important issues educators will face this fall is how to get reliable, timely data that helps them better understand how achievement has been impacted by COVID-related disruptions, identify the gaps and have meaningful goal setting conversations that set students up to succeed,» said Fred McDaniel, Ph.D., Executive Vice President of Assessment and Professional Learning at NWEA. «Given the continued pandemic, educators may choose to assess students remotely to secure this data – which presents a set of unique challenges.»

A successful remote assessment program gives careful consideration to which students will be assessed, and how the data will be used. Additionally, multiple variables must be considered and planned for, including the logistics of administering a test remotely, whether in a home or socially distanced format; the role of a remote proctor in the test taking experience; ensuring test integrity and student privacy; and monitoring student engagement and «rapid guessing» behavior. These factors, among others, necessitate additional preparation and up-front investment from school leaders to ensure a smooth test-taking experience for remote testing sessions.

Effective communication from school to homes is top priority: Most parents/caregivers may be new to the remote testing experience. It will be helpful for them to understand the value of the assessment, as well as what to expect before, during and after the test. Another important thing to consider is that parents/caregivers may need to help students prepare a device for testing.
Invest in your proctors: Educational leaders should make a concerted effort to invest in remote testing training for their proctors. Proctors are the primary point of contact for the student during the test, are responsible for ensuring that any technical hurdles are overcome, and help students get set up for a successful test-taking session.
Get in front of technical hurdles. Schools/districts should create a support plan for staff, students, and families to address concerns including assessment technology requirements, connectivity issues, device management, software support, firewall and web filter adjustment.
Maximize test integrity and security. Remote testing presents an additional integrity challenge that in-school testing does not where environments are more controlled. Schools should consider security agreements with parents, active monitoring during tests, and formalized rules/protocols regarding usage of additional devices and the internet.
Prepare for testing. Spring 2020 taught us that transitioning to virtual instruction is not easy, and that communicating effectively with students over the internet has a learning curve. Since remote testing involves using these communication tools, we suggest that schools/districts have proctors and students practice logging in and taking a practice test so that everyone involved is confident on the day of the test.
Support accessibility, accommodations and equity. Schools must be ready to help students gain access to assistive technology. They must also consider and guide when to use embedded accommodation features within the assessment platform or how students gain access to non-embedded accommodation features (e.g., bilingual dictionaries, English dictionary, and abacus). And most importantly, they must have a clear plan to communicate with families regarding the use of accommodations.

Once the logistics are accounted for and the tests are administered successfully, we recommend the data is scrutinized to ensure that sound instructional decisions are made for students based on these results. This involves reviews of additional data elements including the proportion of items answered correctly, the proportion of items that were rapidly guessed, the overall test duration, and standard error of measure. In addition, we recommend caution when using remote testing data as a basis for high-stakes decisions for students, teachers, and/or schools, or to evaluate the effectiveness of remote instruction or delivery in individual schools.

«With over 400,000 successful remote tests completed in spring 2020, we are feeling incredibly positive about helping even more schools learn to successfully implement remote testing this fall,» said Adam Wolfgang, Product Manager and lead on remote testing solutions at NWEA. «There are some differences … there are some minor hurdles to overcome, yes—but if the spring 2020 remote testing season taught us anything, it’s that even under the most challenging of scenarios, we can help schools get the best data they need to help all kids learn.»

Lowrider Caravan headed to «Salad Bowl of the World» in California to bring COVID-19 affected Farmworkers much needed Food and Supplies

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Salinas Valley in Monterey County, one of the most productive agricultural regions in California, is located 60 miles south of San Jose or Silicon Valley. It earned its nickname «Salad Bowl of the World» for the mass production of roughly 70% of the nation’s lettuce as well as spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, strawberries, peppers and numerous other…

Agricultural workers have been ravaged by COVID-19 in Monterey County making up more than a third of confirmed COVID-19 cases, with Latinos being 84% of hospitalized cases. The death rate from COVID-19 is much higher in counties with large populations of farmworkers due to working and living conditions with multiple families in one house and an entire family living in one bedroom. At work in the fields, harvest crews work side-by-side cutting rows of vegetables, making it impossible to keep six feet apart.

This grass-roots effort to help farmworker families began when Darlene Tenes, the granddaughter of farmworkers, saw a relief drive poster on social media by Assemblymember Robert Rivas, who grew up in migrant housing. She gathered up a few friends the same day who filled their cars with donations and headed to Watsonville, CA.

«I would hear about all of the essential workers being praised and helped but nobody ever mentioned the farmworkers who are working to feed every single person across America,» said Tenes. «I just wanted to use my skills to help and give them the attention they deserved.»

With her event marketing and management background she jumped into action growing the caravan to an average of 90 vehicles and 2 or 3 commercial trucks filled with household goods and nonperishable foods such as toilet paper, diapers, beans, rice and most importantly face masks and hand sanitizers.

Since the pandemic the caravans have traveled to Salinas, San Juan Bautista, Gilroy and will be heading back to Salinas on August 8, 2020 partnering with the United Lowrider Council of San Jose and Blvd Bombs who will fill their show cars with much needed food and supplies for the farmworkers.

«Being a Chicano who was born and raised in California we all came from the fields at one time,» said David Polanco, president of the United Lowrider Council of San Jose. «Driving by the fields and seeing them hunched over in sweltering heat has humbled me and we just wanted to do what we can to help them.»

For more information on joining future caravans or donating online go to http://www.farmworkercaravan.org or call 408-280-1065.
