- George Middle School sits in an urban, mostly poor section of northern Portland, Oregon. 92% of the students there are on free or reduced lunches. The school receives title 1 funding. The school suffers from chronic absenteeism. Students would rather stay in bed than go to a "boring", "loser" school as they described it. Under the No Child Left Behind act, the school had been labeled a failing school for longer than was permitted by law. If you were teaching in a low-income school like this, how would you approach it? How would you engage--or re-engage--the natural passion for learning that is in every human being? I'll share with you what Liz Delmatoff, the school's counselor and 7th grade teacher did. She leveraged social media platforms and the cellphones 75% of the students already owned to engage them. Under Title 1, the school wasn't allowed to access Facebook or Twitter, because they are considered possible predator hangouts, according to the Children's Internet Protection Act. So instead, Liz went with Edmodo, to use with four classes. Students began building websites. Writing blog posts. Creating videos. All about their assignments. And not just their regular assignments. Delmatoff started a program called ExtraSpecial, where students could do extra assignments for no credit. Many of the projects utilized the students' smart phones for taking pictures and capturing video. With parent's permission, the school would also text chronically tardy students. What was the outcome? 20% of the students joined ExtraSpecial. Grades went up 50% Absenteeism was reduced by a 3rd, and for the first time in its HISTORY, the school met its adequate yearly progress goal for absenteeism.
