The Bullying Problem - What You Can Do to Stop It

Posted by Cindy De La Torre at 9:08 am

May 152012

According to stopbullying.gov, “Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems.”

In recent years we have seen an outpouring of stories of how bullying is impacting so many young lives. Each tale tells the tragic story of how a child has been bullied so much until he or she fears and loathes going to school, some have even been made to feel that there is no other solution but to end their young lives. One life lost is one too many.

Many people find themselves asking, “What can I do to stop bullying?”. The simplest and most obvious answer is that parents and educators need to work together and take immediate action in order to stop bullying. However, it is not only up to parents and educators, it is up to all of us. We must all take action and continue the trend of speaking out against bullying; we need to have an open discussion, in which everyone feels comfortable and safe to talk about their views on bullying in order to inform children, parents, educators, etc. on what it is and how much it can negatively impact those individuals who are the victims of bullying.

As a parent and/or educator you should ask your children/students if they have ever been the victims of bullying or if they have participated in bullying another child. Let them know what bullying is; perhaps your children/students may have bullied someone else without realizing how harmful their actions were. Or you might find that your children/students are currently being bullied but are too afraid to speak up or simply do not realize that they can ask for help in order to make it stop.

We want school to feel like a safe environment for children and for them to feel comfortable and safe enough so that they can learn. Bullying makes school feel like an unsafe place, it lowers victim’s self-esteem, it makes them nervous and anxious, it brings on depression, and it makes students unable to focus on school and learning.

Bullying is also a way for those who are doing the bullying to cry out for help. Most bullies also suffer from depression, they have low self-esteem, and some even have a tendency of thinking about suicide. Bullying is a real problem and it needs to stop now.

Unfortunately there are many of us who have had personal experiences with bullying, and although our tales of woe might be minor compared to others, they were still significant and we would have all been better off without these harsh experiences.

Share your stories on how you were bullied and what you did to overcome it. Share a story of how you helped a victim of bullying by speaking up. Or share ideas on how to eliminate bullying. Let’s begin talking about bullying and how to eliminate it.

Discovering Your Child's Learning Style

As we probably have all come to realize, we do not all learn the same way and with the same techniques. Some individuals learn by doing, others learn by simply listening, while others learn by looking. We are all unique individuals, and as would be expected, our learning styles are unique as well. The three most common learning styles are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/tactile learners. Knowing what time of learner your child is is essential in understanding how to present new information in order to ensure they will retain it more effectively.

Visual learners – These types of learners process information best through sight; they need to see someone else do the activity in order for them to gain a better understanding of how to do it. Visual learners also like to be presented with images, graphs, or videos and they like to highlight information (either with a highlighter or by underlining it with a pen) and they also like to read information in order to understand the information that is being presented. These types of learners learn best when presented with images – they are typically unable to learn by simply hearing information.
Auditory learners – These individuals learn best when they hear or speak information. They gain the most benefit when they discuss certain information with others, or when they hear a lecture – they don’t retain information as easily if they just see it written on a piece of paper. Auditory learners also understand the information presented in a book best when they read that information aloud or when it is read out loud to them.
Kinesthetic/tactile leaners – These learners are the type of individuals that are very hands on. They need to try something out for themselves in order to understand the information. These individuals are usually harder to teach, because they feel a constant need to be moving around and exploring their surroundings, and most lectures are not taught in a tactile way – most lectures are geared towards the auditory and visual learners.

Understanding what kind of learner your child is might be the trick to helping them understand the classroom information, that they are having a hard time with, more effectively. Although most children are able to learn in more than just one way, it is important to understand which way is the most effective in order to tackle those harder topics and to present information in a way that will be the most effective for your child.

We are passionate educators and we work hard to ensure that the students we tutor gain a love of education and learning. Give us a call and let us help your child become an avid learner for life.

A Closer Look at the STAR Test

Posted by Cindy De La Torre at 9:00 am

May 082012

With many students currently taking the STAR tests, parents may be wondering
what the STAR tests are and what they are intended to measure. Therefore, in order to provide a bit more clarity on the STAR tests, we have provided a breakdown of the four different types of STAR tests that are offered in California.

STAR tests are standardized tests that are given to children from 2^nd to 11^th grade. Although several different types of standardized tests have been around for decades, they have recently come to be used as regular markers to measure how children are progressing in school. These tests are administered on a yearly basis and they are usually given close to the end of the school year (typically in March, April, and May).

There are four different types of STAR tests. What test a child has to take is determined by their cognitive abilities.

Here is the breakdown:

CSTs (California Standards Tests) – This type of test is the one that is administered to most children in California; therefore, these tests are developed by educators and test developers who are from California. They are intended to measure how children are progressing in school and if they are being effectively taught the state mandated standards in math, science, history/social science, and English/language arts. All children from 2^nd grade to 11^th grade take the multiple choice CST, while students in 4^th and 7^th grade must also take the CST writing assessment. The idea behind the test is that if your child is being taught everything that the California standards mandate, he or she should perform well on the CST.
CMA (California Modified Assessment) – This test is used for students who have an individualized education program (IEP) that states that they have to take the CMA, and who, although may be receiving grade-level instruction, are almost certainly not going to get grade-level proficiency. The purpose for this type of test is to measure the progress of children with disabilities and to see if their schools and the state are meeting the requirements and teaching these students the appropriate and necessary information. Like the CST, all children who are eligible to take the CMA take the multiple-choice CMA from 2^nd grade to 11^th grade and the CMA writing assessment in 4^th and 7^thgrade.
CAPA (California Alternate Performance Assessment) – The CAPA is intended for students who have substantial cognitive disabilities and, because of that, are unable to take the CST’s and CMA’s even with accommodations or modifications. These tests are meant to measure the progress of these students.
STS (Standard-based Tests in Spanish) – The STS’s are tests that are taken by Spanish-speaking English learners. These students are also required to take the CST’s and/or the CMA’s depending on their cognitive abilities. If students are performing well on the CST’s or CMA’s, they may later be reclassified as fluent English proficient (R-FEP).

If you feel that your child’s grades could improve, please be sure to give us a call or email us. We’ll be happy to meet with you and your child and help improve your child’s grades and understanding of the class lectures.

What Type of Intelligence Do You or Your Child Possess?

Posted by Cindy De La Torre at 9:00 am

Diagram of Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences

According to the renowned psychologist, Howard Gardner, there are 8 different types of intelligence: visual, linguistic, logical, bodily, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic – Gardner later added existential and moral intelligences. Although there are many who have criticized his theory, it is still a popular theory and one worth delving into in order to figure out where your strengths lie. Finding out what type of intelligence your child possesses might be crucial in finding his or her strengths and figuring out how to best help your child succeed in school and in the future.

What intelligence do you or your child possess?

Visual-Spatial Intelligence – People who possess this type of intelligence typically are good with puzzles, maps, and graphs. These people usually enjoy the visual arts and they tend to memorize information through images, videos, and pictures. Potential career options: architect, visual artist, engineer, navigator, sculptor, inventor, interior designer, and mechanic

Linguistic-Verbal Intelligence – These people are good at remembering written and spoken information, they are articulate, good writers and they enjoy reading, writing, and communicating verbally with others. Potential career options: poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, and translator

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence – These individuals are good with finding relationships and patterns, they are very good at solving problems, they enjoy conducting scientific experiments and complex mathematic problems. Potential career options: scientist, mathematician, computer programmer, engineer, accountant, and researcher

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence – People with this type of intelligence are usually good at sports or dancing, they have good physical control, these individuals learn by doing and they enjoy creating things using their hands. Potential career options: dancer, builder, sculptor, actor, athlete, physical education teacher, firefighter, and artisan

Musical-Rhythmic Intelligence – These individuals enjoy singing and playing instruments, they have a great respect for music, they understand the structure of music, and are therefore able to remember songs easily. Potential career options: musician, composer, singer, music instructor, conductor, and disk jockey

Interpersonal Intelligence – People with this type of intelligence are usually good at communicating, empathizing, and understanding others. They are able to interact well with others and to look at things through other peoples’ perspectives. Potential career options: psychologist, philosopher, counselor, sales person, politician, and businessperson

Interpersonal Intelligence – People with this type of intelligence are good at understanding their own emotions, motivations, and their strengths and weaknesses. They like to reflect on and analyze their own actions. Potential career options: philosopher, writer, theorist, scientist, and researcher

Naturalistic Intelligence – This was one of the most recent additions in Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences. Those who possess naturalistic intelligence are interested in nature and the environment. They are able to easily catalog information and they enjoy doing activities outdoors, like gardening. Potential careers: botanist, biologist, conservationist, gardener, farmer, and zoologist

Keep in mind that people can possess strengths and interests in more than one area. Gardner’s theory is simply that, a theory; nonetheless, it is interesting to learn what your child, your student, or you are the best at and how you can implement that to help retain information more successfully or to chose a future career.

If your child is in need of additional help, please give us a call and we will be more than happy to help your child succeed in her or his educational endeavors.

April Newsletter: Share Your Passion Scholarship Winners Announced

Posted by Cindy De La Torre at 9:01 am

May 012012

With summer just around the corner, students eagerly await the moment they will get to rest and relax without having to worry about studying or doing homework; however, there are detrimental learning losses when children are on summer break. To avoid learning loss, many researchers suggest that children get tutoring or participate in educational summer camps, during the summer, in order to retain the information they have learned during the school year and to prepare for the new information they will be learning during the new school year. To find out more about the importance of summer tutoring click on the link and read our informative blog.

We are excited to announce the winners of our Roosevelt and Norco Share Your Passion Scholarships. These two young ladies showed us what they are passionate about and how they will use their passions to help others. They are both inspirational young ladies that show how passion can lead us all to achieve greatness and do it selflessly. Read their essays to learn more about these two bright and inspirational students.

Jennifer Aneke, our Scholarship winner from Roosevelt High School, discusses the role racial discrimination has played in her life, and how she plans on becoming a lawyer in order to combat racism and help others not have to go through the same obstacles that she has gone through.

Jennifer Aneke

Similarly, Julia Schemmer, our Scholarship winner from Norco High School, talks about how her sister’s Leukemia inspired her to want to go into medicine and become a doctor in order to help people in India and Kenya.

Students still have the opportunity to win one of the many scholarships we are offering this year. We are giving back to our community by offering a $250 scholarship. In order to participate, students must be from one of the schools that have had a student tutored by the Tutoring Solution – Sky Country Elementary, San Joaquin Elementary, Wickman Elementary, Eastvale Elementary, Loma Vista Elementary, Oxford Preparatory Academy, Townsend Junior High School, Roosevelt High School, Alta Loma High School, Norco High School, Centennial High School, Chino Hills High School, Ontario Christian High School, Beaumont High School, Damien High School, Colony High School, Flintridge Sacred Heart, Fontana High School, Patriot High School, South Pasadena High School and Ayala High School. Students must simply write an essay describing what they are passionate about and how they will be using their passion in order to help others.

We are excited to be participating in GATE-together again this year. On May 19^th, we will be presenting our tips on blog writing to Elementary and Junior High School GATE students from the Chino Valley Unified School District. GATE-together is a terrific program aimed at gifted students from 4^th to 8^th grade. The students are presented with several different workshops spanning many different subjects, and they are given the opportunity to pick 3 that they are interested in. The workshops expose these gifted students to many different subjects and they allow them to explore different ways of expressing their creativity.

In an effort to share the knowledge that we have acquired throughout the years we have written a few blog articles on topics that we are very passionate about. Some of the more noteworthy ones are our blog articles on the benefits of Arts Education, how to improve your child’s Critical Thinking Skills, and our School on Wheels Motivating the Unmotivated Workshop Review.

If you know someone who could benefit from our tutoring services, please pass along this newsletter or give us a call. Our objective is to help students achieve their goals and become productive members of society, help us achieve that objective.

The Importance of Summer Tutoring

Posted by Cindy De La Torre at 10:13 am

Apr 272012

Many parents and students believe that summer is reserved for relaxing and having fun. Several parents don’t really stress the importance of keeping their kids mentally active during summer, because they think that the 2 to 3 months of summer break are well deserved. However, the consequences of this downtime can be pretty detrimental.

While we all deserve some down time to do nothing but rest and relax, too much rest and relaxation can lead to learning loss. Here are some reasons why summer tutoring is important to your child’s learning and retention of previously learned information:

It helps children retain information they already learned the previous year and it also helps prepare them for the new information they will be learning the following year.
Children are able to catch up during the summer and focus on the things that were giving them a hard time during the school year.
The tutor can assign your child homework, so that your child will not get lazy and get out of the habit of doing academic work for the 2 to 3 months of summer break.
Tutoring gives your child a set routine, which is a very healthy thing in a young child’s life because it promotes stability.
If your children fall behind, due to learning loss, they may find themselves struggling throughout the rest of the school year – tutoring can solve this issue.
According to the National Summer Learning Association, “Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills (and spelling) over the summer months.”
The National Summer Learning Association states that, according to research, children perform better on standardized tests at the beginning of summer than they do at the end of summer. This is known as learning loss – that long break away from learning leads kids to forget what they had previously learned.
After the summer break, teachers spend up to 6 weeks teaching previously learned information again, because most kids have already forgotten it.
First Lady Michelle Obama talked about the issue of summer learning loss and kicked off the Let’s Read. Let’s Move. initiative to help inspire parents to change these detrimental summer habits.
Many studies reveal that learning loss during the summer is more apparent in lower-income students than it is in middle or higher income students because lower income students are less likely to get tutoring during the summer or to attend educational summer programs.
According to a RAND study, the most effective summer classes are those that offer individualized instruction, that have parental involvement and that are small in size (making one-on-one tutoring ideal).

There are many reasons why tutoring during the summer is essential to help your children succeed in school. If you would like to take advantage of the benefits of summer tutoring, give us a call and we will set you up with one of our qualified tutors.

The word passion comes from the Latin root pati, which means to suffer. What is worth suffering for? I am deeply passionate for justice. Justice is something my race has been fighting for many years, something we are still fighting for till this very day. I have seen unjust acts not only in racism but in all parts of our society happen before my eyes. There have been unjust acts that have happen to me. I know what it feels like to not have justice served, and I am passionate to help others get what they justice that they deserve. I plan on becoming a lawyer so that when I see unfair actions take place, I have the knowledge and power to make justice. Justice is a passion worth suffering.

Roosevelt High School Student Wins Tutoring Scholarship

I am passionate about having justice because it is something people of my race have fought for. I am someone who takes pride in the patriotic acts done for the bettering of our country. Martin Luther King Jr. was and still is someone who I believe has done great things for America. He was one of the few that stood up and made apparent the unjustly acts that were being done to African Americans. Being aware and educated of what happened during that time period is very disturbing, yet inspiring. Knowing that a man and a few others received justice for a whole race inspires me to help obtain justice for people of America who were also wronged.

I am willing to suffer for the liability of justice because I know what it feels like to not have impartiality. When I was a bit younger, I attend a school where the upper grades felt superior to the lower grades. They use to bully us and rip our homework assignments because they felt it was “fun”. When I would tell the teacher she would side with the upper classmen because they “seemed right”. I still do not know if she did not help me because I was young, or because I of skin color. However, I do know that what they were doing was undeserved and cruel. I look back and what they did and I realized things like this are happening in more mature environment. They are happing in our society. Unjust acts like the one that happened to me is the reason why I have become so passionate about getting the fair dealing that is justified.

I plan on using my passion for justice to aid other by becoming a lawyer. Lawyers are people of the court system that conduct lawsuits for the right of people’s justice. Becoming a lawyer in my eyes, is legally being able to restore justice to those who were mistreated. As most know our country has endless acts that are unreasonable, unmerited, and unfair; having this as my career is serving those who have encountered these specific acts. I feel that this job is perfect for my passion for justice.

Being passionate about something is saying it is worth suffering for. I greatly believe justice, is worth suffering for. As seen in history, people like MLK suffered for the justice of African Americans, justice that is still being fought for. I intend on becoming a lawyer to express my passion for justice in the most legal way possible. I will do whatever it takes to bring justice, because justice is my passion worth suffering for.

How to Improve Your Children's Critical Thinking Skills

Posted by Cindy De La Torre at 11:47 am

Apr 242012

What is critical thinking? There are many different definitions on what critical thinking is; however, to sum it up in the broadest form, it is a learned skill in which the critical thinker is able to dissect, conceptualize, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information and use that information to solve a problem, reach an answer, or come to a conclusion. Critical thinkers, not only use the information presented to them, but they also use past acquired knowledge or experiences and they are able to skillfully “read between the lines”.

Why it helps – You will find that most of the kids that are in honors classes, AP classes, or other advanced placement classes, are typically children who have their critical thinking skills refined. These kids typically are able to look at things in more than just one way and they are able to dissect information more critically. Most of these children receive high grades and perform very well on exams. Although these individuals were born with many of their intellectual abilities, a lot of their skills were also learned and perfected. Therefore, any child can improve her or his critical thinking skills and improve their understanding of the material presented to them in and out of school.

Activities to do to help your children – During the long summer break, don’t just let your children spend all their time watching TV or playing video games, assign them work (hiring a tutor might be a good solution to helping your children improve their critical thinking skills). Assign your children work that will help develop their critical thinking skills. The following are just a few examples.

Read and analyze a book together – Have your children read a book, that is appropriate for their age and reading level, then have them write a book review in which they state what they liked or disliked about the book and why. The “why” is the most important aspect, because it causes your children to think more critically about their views and why they formed such views. You or the tutor should have read the book as well. Make sure to discuss different elements the author used to get their point across – i.e. analyze the information presented and the different techniques used by the author like symbols, metaphors, foreshadowing, etc.
Assign your children an argumentative research paper, but with a twist – Have your children pick a semi-controversial topic (you might want to pick the topic for them), then have your children write, as objectively as possible, why they are for it, then have them write another paper arguing why they are against it. Once your children are done writing both papers, have them reveal to you what they learned while writing them. Then work together to improve their papers – provide constructive criticism, while acknowledging the positives as well.
- Make sure to remind your children that there are different ways of looking at things and that they should learn to take in information with a critical eye and not to allow emotions to dictate their views.
- Objectivity is essential in becoming a critical thinker; emotions can oftentimes hinder us from thinking objectively.
- The best argumentative papers are those in which the writer is able to predict what the opposing side will argue, in order to make their point, and is thus able to take on those arguments head on.
Analyze the source – Read a research article with your children. As you read it have your children analyze what the writer’s argument is – is the writer trying to convince you of something? Make sure to take note of the sources provided by the author, taking into account if they are reliable or not and why that is. Also be sure to point out flaws or contradictions found in the paper. Is the paper mostly opinion based? Or does the writer provide enough factual and objective information to prove her of his point? Help your children to critically and objectively analyze the information presented; let them know your thought process as you work through analyzing the paper. Be sure to point out any obvious biases or opinions that diminish the credibility of the article.
Analyze a work of art – Have your children analyze an important piece of art. Ask your children questions about the piece that will allow them to think critically and to view art in a new way. What is the point of view? Was the painting effective in presenting the desired point of view? Why or why not? Make sure to read the caption that goes along with the art piece or any other relevant information in order to gain a better understanding of the artist and their work. Keep in mind that art is very subjective; the main idea is to get your child to try and interpret an image in a critical and new way.

If you want your children to benefit from summer tutoring and want to help them develop their critical thinking skills, please give us a call or send us an e-mail, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

Why Arts Education is Beneficial to your Child’s Academic Achievement

Posted by Cindy De La Torre at 10:05 am

Apr 192012

Many studies show that arts education leads to academic achievement, higher test scores, improved self-esteem, increased critical thinking abilities, social and emotional development, boosted motivation, and an improved ability to express oneself and to work well with others, among many other wonderful benefits. More importantly, arts education teaches kids to learn from mistakes and to keep going. Even when they are presented with what appear to be insurmountable obstacles, kids learn to use their creativity to overcome these obstacles and to push forward. All in all, it could be argued that art education is crucial in the educational and emotional development of a young child.

Studies also show that children who receive arts education are 4 times more likely to achieve academically and to participate in math and science fairs and 3 times more likely to get an award for perfect attendance and to be elected to class office in their schools. What these statistics reveal is that arts education motivates children to be more involved in their school and their overall educational growth.

Nonetheless, although there are many known benefits to arts education, unfortunately, arts education is the first thing that is cut out when there are budget cuts. This leaves many children (particularly those from lower income homes) to be excluded from gaining the many benefits that arts education has to offer. Sadly, there seems to be a growing denial of the importance of art education and the need that humans have, as creative beings, to create and express ourselves. However, it is not a lost cause.

It is our job as educators and parents, to become informed on the benefits of arts education, and to demand that schools offer more of it, in addition to making it our duty to expose our children to art on our own free time. You can also ask your child’s school how you can help bring arts education to your child and his/her peers. You might be able to donate some art supplies or even donate your time. The best thing you can do for your child is to get involved in your child’s education, attend a school board and/or PTA meeting and voice your views on arts education and your child’s future.

Take it a step further, do not simply rely on your child’s school to provide them with an art education, instead, make it a family priority and take your kids to museums (many museums offer workshops for children and families) or buy art supplies from your local art store and experiment with your child (you may already have all the necessary supplies at home). Not only will you be spending a wonderful afternoon with your child, you will also begin to see the wonderful benefits of art, on both you and your child.

If you or your child would like to share with us why art education is important to you, by expressing yourself creatively (i.e. a drawing, painting, poem, story, sculpture, etc.), feel free to e-mail us with your artistic piece. In the email, include your name and grade level/age, and we might feature your piece in our blog.

We are a group of passionate educators, and we constantly strive to improve student’s learning experience. If you feel your child might need extra help, please send us an e-mail or give us a call, we will be more than happy to work with you and your child to ensure his or her future success.

School on Wheels Motivating the Unmotivated Workshop Review

Posted by Cindy De La Torre at 10:00 am

Apr 162012

On Saturday, July 16^th, 2011 and again on Monday, February 6^th, 2012, we had the honor of sharing our knowledge on tutoring and motivation with the School on Wheels tutors. We felt extremely privileged to be asked to conduct these two workshops and we cannot begin to express our gratitude.

We are great supporters of the School on Wheels organization, and we sincerely respect all that they do for homeless children. It is because of organizations like School on Wheels, that homeless children are better able to reach their full potential and to feel that their contribution to society matters. These volunteer tutors make these kids feel like important and valuable members of society, as they should be made to feel.

Natasha Bayus, the education and training coordinator for School on Wheels, was kind enough to share with us some of the participants’ feedback. The overwhelming majority said that they learned how to interact and communicate with their students more effectively, and in turn, this helped them understand what tools to use in order to connect with their students and to motivate them to become more involved in their education and to value its great importance.

Many participants also felt more comfortable about contacting the student’s teachers and parents after participating in the workshop. They realized the importance of working with the teachers and parents in order to improve the student’s grades and understanding of the material being learned. There is nothing more important than having the students know that their success and learning matter and that there are many individuals that care about them and that are invested in their educational growth.

Nonetheless, out of all the lessons the tutors learned, the most important seemed to be to let their students’ learn from their mistakes. Instead of being made to feel ashamed, children should learn that we all make mistakes and that that is how we learn and grow. Most of all, students should feel positive about their learning experience.

Education is what keeps us all going. Give us an opportunity to show you how one-on-one tutoring can benefit your child’s future.
